Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) said: When Abu Talib passed away, I came to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) and said: Your uncle, that elder, has passed away! So the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Go, bury him, then do not do anything new until you come to me. Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) said: I gave him the ritual bath, then I came to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), so he made some supplications for me, and this became so beloved to me that I wished I had red and black camels in exchange for those supplications. And Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him), when he would give the ritual bath to a deceased person, he would also perform the ritual bath himself.
