English translation

1891. It was narrated from Ayyûb, from Muḥammad, that Umm 'Aṭiyyah said: "The Messenger of Allāh ﷻ came to us when we were washing his daughter. He said: 'Wash her three times, or five, or more than that if you think that (is necessary), with water and lotus leaves, and put camphor, or some camphor in (the water) the last time. And when you have finished, inform me.' When we finished, we informed him and he threw his waist-wrap to us and said: 'Shroud her in it.'" He said: "Ḥafṣah said:[1] 'We washed her three, or five, or seven times.' Umm 'Aṭiyyah said: 'We combed her hair into three braids.'" (Saḥīḥ)

1890 - أَخْبَرَنَا عَمْرُو بْنُ زُرَارَةَ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَعِيلُ، عَنْ أَيُّوبَ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدٍ، عَنْ أُمِّ عَطِيَّةَ قَالَتْ: أَتَانَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَنَحْنُ نَغْسِلُ ابْنَتَهُ فَقَالَ: «اغْسِلْنَهَا ثَلَاثًا أَوْ خَمْسًا، أَوْ أَكْثَرَ مِنْ ذَلِكِ إِنْ رَأَيْتُنَّ ذَلِكِ، بِمَاءٍ وَسِدْرٍ، وَاجْعَلْنَ فِي الْآخِرَةِ كَافُورًا، أَوْ شَيْئًا مِنْ كَافُورٍ، فَإِذَا فَرَغْتُنَّ فَآذِنَّنِي»، فَلَمَّا فَرَغْنَا آذَنَّاهُ، فَأَلْقَى إِلَيْنَا حِقْوَهُ وَقَالَ: «أَشْعِرْنَهَا إِيَّاهُ»، قَالَ: أَوْ قَالَتْ حَفْصَةُ: «اغْسِلْنَهَا ثَلَاثًا أَوْ خَمْسًا أَوْ سَبْعًا»، قَالَ: وَقَالَتْ أُمُّ عَطِيَّةَ: مَشَطْنَاهَا ثَلَاثَةَ قُرُونٍ،
