Hadith on Hajj: When someone dies while on the pilgrimage

Ibn Abbas reported: A man performing the pilgrimage was thrown from his camel and died while we were with the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him. The Prophet said, “Wash him with water mixed with the leaves of a lote tree and shroud him in his two garments. Do not cover his head, for Allah will raise him on the Day of Resurrection performing the call of the pilgrimage.”

عَنْ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُمْ أَنَّ رَجُلًا وَقَصَهُ بَعِيرُهُ وَنَحْنُ مَعَ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَهُوَ مُحْرِمٌ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ اغْسِلُوهُ بِمَاءٍ وَسِدْرٍ وَكَفِّنُوهُ فِي ثَوْبَيْنِ وَلَا تُمِسُّوهُ طِيبًا وَلَا تُخَمِّرُوا رَأْسَهُ فَإِنَّ اللَّهَ يَبْعَثُهُ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ مُلَبِّيًا
