I heard a Hadith that says:
‘Make ghusl of your dead ones with berry leaves.’
What is its authenticity and reference?
Answer
This is recorded in several narrations in Sahih Bukhari, Hadith: 1253/4/8, 1261, 1263 and 1267 and Sahih Muslim, Hadith: 2165 and 2888-2892
The word used in the narration is: Sidr, which could translate as lote or jujube tree, which is a type of berry.
And Allah Ta’ala Knows best,
