It is narrated from Hazrat Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) that Hazrat Abu Bakr Siddiq said: "In how many garments did you shroud the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him)?" I replied, "In three garments." He said, "Wash these two garments of mine and buy one more garment from the market." I said, "We will prepare a new garment for you." He said, "The living are more deserving of new clothes than the dead. Surely, this shroud is only for the pus and blood of the dead."
