موطأ مالك

حَدَّثَنِي يَحْيَى، عَنْ مَالِكٍ، عَنْ هِشَامِ بْنِ عُرْوَةَ، عَنْ أَسْمَاءَ بِنْتِ أَبِي بَكْرٍ، أَنَّهَا قَالَتْ لأَهْلِهَا أَجْمِرُوا ثِيَابِي إِذَا مِتُّ ثُمَّ حَنِّطُونِي وَلاَ تَذُرُّوا عَلَى كَفَنِي حِنَاطًا وَلاَ تَتْبَعُونِي بِنَارٍ .


Yahya related to me from Malik from Hisham ibn Urwa that Asmabint Abi Bakr said to her family, "Perfume my clothes with incensewhen I die and then embalm me. Do not put any of the embalmingsubstance on my shroud, and do not follow me with a burning torch."
