Chain of transmission
- Malik ibn Anas
- Abdallah ibn Abi Bakr
Summary
Malik transmits from Abdullah ibn Abi Bakr (may God be pleased with him) that Asma bint Umays, wife of Abu Bakr al-Siddiq (may God be pleased with him), washed Abu Bakr when he died. Then she went out and asked the emigrants who were present: I am fasting, and this is a very cold day; must I wash myself? They said no. The editor notes the words 'wife of Abu Bakr al-Siddiq' are missing from one copy, and that Abu Musab, Suwayd, Abd al-Razzaq and al-Shaybani transmitted it from Malik. 1
