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." Translation Not Available
