From the life of Hazrat Ali (ra) bin Abi Talib
Hazrat Amir relates that following the demise of the Holy Prophet (sa), Hazrat Ali (ra), Hazrat Fazl (ra) and Hazrat Usama (ra) bin Zaid washed the body of the Holy Prophet (sa) and these same individuals lowered the Holy Prophet’s (sa) blessed body into the grave. In another narration, it is mentioned that Hazrat Abdur Rahman (ra) bin Auf was also among these individuals.
