It is narrated from Sayyida Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) that when Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) became seriously ill, he asked, "What day is it today?" We said, "Today is Monday." He asked, "On which day did the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) pass away?" We said, "On Monday." He said, "I think I will pass away by tonight." He was wearing a garment that had a saffron stain on it. He said, "When I die, wash this garment of mine and add two new garments to it, and shroud me in three garments." We said, "Should we not make all the garments new?" He said, "No, this is for (the corpse's) pus." Then, Sayyiduna Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) passed away on the night of Tuesday.
