Muwatta Malik

موطأ مالك

16
وَحَدَّثَنِي عَنْ مَالِكٍ، عَنْ نَافِعٍ، أَنَّ عَبْدَ اللَّهِ بْنَ عُمَرَ، كَفَّنَ ابْنَهُ وَاقِدَ بْنَ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ وَمَاتَ بِالْجُحْفَةِ مُحْرِمًا وَخَمَّرَ رَأْسَهُ وَوَجْهَهُ وَقَالَ لَوْلاَ أَنَّا حُرُمٌ لَطَيَّبْنَاهُ . قَالَ مَالِكٌ وَإِنَّمَا يَعْمَلُ الرَّجُلُ مَا دَامَ حَيًّا فَإِذَا مَاتَ فَقَدِ انْقَضَى الْعَمَلُ .


Yahya related to me from Malik from Nafi that Abdullah ibn Umarshrouded his son Waqid ibn Abdullah, who had died at al-Juhfa while inihram, and he veiled his head and face and said, "If we had not beenin ihram we would have perfumed him. "Malik said, "A man canonly do things while he is alive. When he is dead, his actions stop."
