It is narrated from Sayyidah Aishah (may Allah be pleased with her) that at the time of his death Sayyiduna Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) asked: In how many garments did you shroud the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him)? I said: In three new white garments woven in Yemen, among which there was neither a shirt nor a turban. He said: Wash this garment of mine - which had marks of saffron and red ochre on it - and add it to two new garments. I said: But this is old. He said: A living person has more right to new clothing than the dead; for the dead there is only pus and filth.
