Jaabir said, “After the Battle of Uhud, my father - who had been mutilated - was brought and placed in front of the Messenger of Allaah (r). He was covered in a cloth and I wanted to uncover him, but the people forbade me. The Prophet (r) instructed that he be uncovered and when the cloth was lifted, he heard the voice of a woman crying. He asked, ‘Who was that?’ They replied that it was ‘Amr’s daughter or sister and he said, ‘Don’t cry, for the angels were shading him with their wings until [his soul] was lifted up.’”2 ﺍﻟﻨﱠﺒِﻲﺎﺌِﺸﹶﺔﹶ ﺃَﻥ ﻋﻥﻋ r ﺓٍ ﺭﺏِ ﺤِﺒ ﻓِﻲ ﺜﹶﻭﻲﺠ ﺴ . ‘Aa’ishah reported that a striped Yemeni cloak3 was drawn over the Prophet’s body [when he died].4 In the case of someone who dies in a state of Ihraam5 during Hajj or ‘Umrah, neither the head nor face should be covered by a sheet. 2 sahih Sunan an-Nasaa’ee, vol.2, p.397, no.1738. 3 sahih Sunan Abee Daawood, vol.2, p.766, note.1.
