Narrated Ibn `Abbas:

A man was crushed to death by his she-camel and was brought to Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) who said, "Give him a bath and shroud him, but do not cover his head, and do not bring any perfume near to him, as he will be resurrected reciting Talbiya."

حَدَّثَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ، حَدَّثَنَا جَرِيرٌ، عَنْ مَنْصُورٍ، عَنِ الْحَكَمِ، عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ جُبَيْرٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ ـ رضى الله عنهما ـ قَالَ وَقَصَتْ بِرَجُلٍ مُحْرِمٍ نَاقَتُهُ، فَقَتَلَتْهُ، فَأُتِيَ بِهِ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم فَقَالَ ‏

‏ اغْسِلُوهُ، وَكَفِّنُوهُ، وَلاَ تُغَطُّوا رَأْسَهُ، وَلاَ تُقَرِّبُوهُ طِيبًا، فَإِنَّهُ يُبْعَثُ يُهِلُّ ‏

The Day of Resurrection is the day of recompense for one’s deeds and intentions in this worldly abode, and the reward for them will equate to the deed. Allah, The Almighty, will resurrect every human in accordance with the belief or deeds they had when he died, and He will recompense them for it respectively. In this hadeeth, ‘Abdullah ibn ‘Abbaas (ra) reports that a man on pilgrimage was crushed by his she-camel. That is to say that his neck was broken after he fell from on top of his mount. This occurred on the Day of ‘Arafah, on the Farewell Pilgrimage in the tenth year after Hijrah, as has been transmitted in a narration found in both Saheeh al-Bukhaaree and Saheeh Muslim. So, they brought him to the Prophet ﷺto ask him how to wash and shroud him. The Prophet ﷺ told them to wash and shroud him, which is a matter that all of the deceased have in common. Then, he ﷺmade special mention of two legal rulings which differ from the rest that are applicable to the rest of the deceased Muslims; and these exceptions are: that they do not cover his head, and that they do not place any perfume on him. Then, the Prophet ﷺexplained that he will be resurrected on the Day of Resurrection as a pilgrim reciting the Talbiyah; i.e., that he will be raising his voice and reciting “LabbaykAllahummaLabbayk!” - “Here I am, O Lord, Here I am! - ; this is because the person will be resurrected as he was at death, the consecrated state of pilgrimage (i.e., ihraam) he was in prior did not cease at his death. As such, this is the legal ruling for every pilgrim who dies while in a state of Ihraam. One benefit that we can derive from this hadeeth is that we should not adorn perfume or cover the heads of those who are in the state of Ihraam; as well as for those who have died while in a state of Ihraam..
