1467. It was narrated that 'Ali bin Abu Tālib said that when he washed the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ he looked for what which is usually looked for on the deceased (i.e., dirt), and he found none. He said: "May my father be sacrificed for you, you are pure; you were pure in life and you are pure in death." (Da'if)
1467 - حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ خِذَامٍ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا صَفْوَانُ بْنُ عِيسَى قَالَ: أَخْبَرَنَا مَعْمَرٌ، عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ، عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ الْمُسَيِّبِ، عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ أَبِي طَالِبٍ، قَالَ: لَمَّا غَسَّلَ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ذَهَبَ يَلْتَمِسُ مِنْهُ مَا يُلْتَمَسُ مِنَ الْمَيِّتِ، فَلَمْ يَجِدْهُ، فَقَالَ: «بِأَبِي الطَّيِّبُ، طِبْتَ حَيًّا، وَطِبْتَ مَيِّتًا»

The stomach of the deceased should be pressed gently after washing the body, if any excrement or fluid appears, it should be washed away, although there is no need to wash the body again. This Hadith indicates that sometimes such a thing appears from the dead body when pressing the stomach, but nothing came out from the stomach of Allāh's Messenger ﷺ.
