1253. Narrated Umm 'Atīyya Al-Anṣārīya رضي الله عنها : Allāh's Messenger ﷺ came to us when his daughter died and said, "Wash her, three, or five times or more, if you see it necessary, with water and Sidr (lote-tree leaves) and then apply camphor, or some camphor at the end; and when you finish, notify me." So when we finished it, we informed him and he gave us his waist-sheet and told us to shroud the dead body in it.
1253 - حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنِي مَالِكٌ، عَنْ أَيُّوبَ السَّخْتِيَانِيِّ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ سِيرِينَ، عَنْ أُمِّ عَطِيَّةَ الأَنْصَارِيَّةِ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهَا، قَالَتْ: دَخَلَ عَلَيْنَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ حِينَ تُوُفِّيَتِ ابْنَتُهُ، فَقَالَ: «اغْسِلْنَهَا ثَلاَثًا، أَوْ خَمْسًا، أَوْ أَكْثَرَ مِنْ ذَلِكَ إِنْ رَأَيْتُنَّ ذَلِكَ، بِمَاءٍ وَسِدْرٍ، وَاجْعَلْنَ فِي الآخِرَةِ كَافُورًا - أَوْ شَيْئًا مِنْ كَافُورٍ - فَإِذَا فَرَغْتُنَّ فَآذِنَّنِي»، فَلَمَّا فَرَغْنَا آذَنَّاهُ ، فَأَعْطَانَا حِقْوَهُ، فَقَالَ: «أَشْعِرْنَهَا إِيَّاهُ» تَعْنِي إِزَارَهُ
