[2173] 40 - (...) It was narrated that Umm ‘Aṭiyyah said: “When Zainab, the daughter of the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ, died, the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said to us: ‘Wash her an odd number of times, three or five, and put camphor - or a little camphor - in the fifth time. And when you have washed her, tell me.’” She said: “So we told him, and he gave us his waist-wrapper and said: ‘Put it next to her body (i.e., wrap her in it).”

Arabic text

40 - (939) حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ، وَعَمْرٌو النَّاقِدُ، جَمِيعًا عَنْ أَبِي مُعَاوِيَةَ، قَالَ عَمْرٌو: حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ خَازِمٍ أَبُو مُعَاوِيَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا عَاصِمٌ الْأَحْوَلُ، عَنْ حَفْصَةَ بِنْتِ سِيرِينَ، عَنْ أُمِّ عَطِيَّةَ، قَالَتْ: لَمَّا مَاتَتْ زَيْنَبُ بِنْتُ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ لَنَا رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «اغْسِلْنَهَا وِتْرًا ثَلَاثًا، أَوْ خَمْسًا، وَاجْعَلْنَ فِي الْخَامِسَةِ كَافُورًا، أَوْ شَيْئًا مِنْ كَافُورٍ، فَإِذَا غَسَلْتُنَّهَا، فَأَعْلِمْنَنِي» قَالَتْ: فَأَعْلَمْنَاهُ، فَأَعْطَانَا حَقْوَهُ وَقَالَ «أَشْعِرْنَهَا إِيَّاهُ»
