[Ṣāliḥ:] 父亲去世时，街道上挤满了前来吊唁的人。我让人传话说，等下午的礼拜结束后，我就把他的遗体抬出来。81.1

[Ṣāliḥ:] When my father died the streets filled with mourners. I sent word that I would bring his body out when the afternoon prayer was over. 81.1

伊本·塔希尔派他的近侍穆扎法尔带着几捆布料、香水，并带来口信："埃米尔向您致意，并说：'我所做的，正是若美信士的长官在此会做的事。'"我说："请回礼，并告诉他：艾哈迈德在世时，他已免于做任何他所厌恶之事。如今他已去世，我不会再强加给他任何令他厌恶的事。"对方答道："用这块布包裹他，再在外面加一层别的。"我又重复了我先前所说的话。

Ibn Ṭāhir sent us his chamberlain Muẓaffar with bundles of cloth, perfumes, and a message: “The emir conveys his greetings and says, ‘I am doing what the Commander of the Faithful would do if he were here.’” I said, “Return the greeting and tell him that while Aḥmad was alive, he was exempt from doing anything he detested. I’m not going to inflict anything detestable on him now that he’s dead.” “Wrap him in this cloth,” he replied, “and put something else over it.” I repeated what I had said.

我父亲的女奴隶纺了一段十肘长的布，价值二十八迪拉姆，本打算用来做两件衬衫。我们从中裁出两条布，用来包裹他。

My father’s slave woman had spun a ten-cubit length of cloth worth twenty-eight dirhams to be used to make two shirts. From it we cut two strips to wrap him in.

接着从福兰的布条上再撕下一条,我们准备了三层布来裹尸。478 香料是我们自己购买的。我们有一位做香料的同伴,问能否送些他的香料给我们,但我没有同意。

Taking another strip from Fūrān, we had three layers of cloth to wrap the body.478 We bought the aromatics ourselves. An associate of ours who was a perfumer asked if he could send us some of his but I wouldn’t let him.

与此同时,有人拿走了我们的一个罐子,往里面倒了水。我让他们告诉福兰去买一个水囊,并把我父亲过去喝水用的那个罐子装满,因为他从来不会拿我们家里的任何东西。

Meanwhile, someone had taken a jar of ours and poured water into it. I told them to tell Fūrān to buy a waterskin and fill the jar my father used to drink from, since he would never take anything from our houses.

当遗体清洗完毕，我们将其裹入殓布时，有大约一百位哈希姆家族的人在一旁观看。我们刚把遗体抬上担架，他们便开始亲吻遗体的前额。

When the body had been washed we wrapped it in the shrouds with some hundred members of the clan of Hāshim looking on. As soon as we got the body onto the bier they began kissing him on the forehead.

[Al-Marrūdhī:] 当我准备为他清洗遗体时,哈希姆家族的族人赶到,挤满了整间屋子。于是我们把他抬进他自己的房间,放下门帘,用布盖住他,然后进行清洗。清洗遗体时没有外人在场。清洗完毕后,我们准备为他裹尸,但哈希姆人哭着把我们推开,把孩子推到遗体上方,亲吻遗体。最后,我们把他抬上担架,用缠头布把他绑在上面。伊本·塔希尔曾派人送来一些寿衣,但我把它们送了回去。他的叔叔对使者说:“他甚至不让我的奴隶为他扇风。”另有人说:“他要求用自己的衣服裹尸。”81。2

[Al-Marrūdhī:] As I was preparing to wash him, enough tribesmen of Hāshim arrived to fill the house. So we took him into his set of rooms, let down the door curtain, and covered him with a cloth while we worked. No outsiders were present for the washing of the corpse. When that was done, we prepared to shroud him, but the Hāshimīs pushed us aside, weeping, pushing their children forward over the body, and kissing it. Finally we got him onto the bier and bound him to it using strips of turban cloth. Ibn Ṭāhir had sent some shrouds but I sent them back. His uncle told the messenger, “He wouldn’t even let my slave fan him.” Someone else said, “He asked to be shrouded in his own clothes.” 81.2

最后，我们用一块他原本打算用来做衣服的马尔瓦尼布为他裹尸。我们又加了一块布，于是用三层布把他包裹起来。

In the end we shrouded him in a piece of Marawī fabric that he had been planning to make some clothes from. We added another piece to it and so wrapped him in three layers of cloth.
