CHAPTER: Ghusl For The One Who Has Washed A Deceased Person.
Narrated Aishah, Ummul Muminin: The Prophet صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم used to take a bath on account of sexual defilement, on Friday, for cupping and washing the dead.
Narrated Abu Hurairah: The Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم said: He who washes the dead should take a bath, and he who carries him should perform ablution.
The tradition mentioned above has also been transmitted by Abu Hurairah through a different chain of narrators to the same effect. Abu Dawud said: This has been abrogated. When Ahmad bin Hanbal was asked about a man taking a bath after his washing the dead, I heard him say: Ablution is sufficient for him. Abu Dawud said: The narrator Abu Salih made a mention of the narrator Ishaq, the client of Zaidah between him and Abu Hurairah. He said: The tradition of Musab is weak. It contains many things that are not practised.
