After that. This chain of transmission meets the standard required by the two Shaykhs. Yet the report is found only in Abū Dāwūd—through Aḥmad ibn Ḥanbal—and in al-Nasāʾī—through Muḥammad ibn al-Muthannā and Mujāhid ibn Mūsā, each transmitting it separately—all of them from al-Walīd ibn Muslim.

Imām Abū ʿAbd Allāh Muḥammad ibn Idrīs al-Shāfiʿī said: Mālik narrated to us, from Hishām ibn ʿUrwah, from his father, from ʿĀʾishah, who said: “The Messenger of Allah (Allah bless him and grant him peace) was shrouded in three white Saḥūlī garments, with neither a shirt nor a turban.” Al-Bukhārī likewise recorded it from Ismāʿīl ibn Abī Uways, from Mālik.

She added: When ʿĀʾishah was told of those who claimed he had been wrapped in two cloths and a patterned hibrah mantle, she replied, “The mantle was indeed brought, but they returned it and did not shroud him in it.” Muslim also reported this from Abū Bakr ibn Abī Shaybah, from Ḥafṣ ibn Ghiyāth.
