English translation
1894. Muhammad bin Sîrîn said: "Umm 'Aṭiyyah was a woman from among the Anṣār who told us: 'The Prophet ﷺ entered upon us while we were washing his daughter and 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 it the last time. And when you have finished, inform me." So when we finished we informed him, and he threw his waist-wrap to us and said: "Shroud her in it." And he did not add to that. He (the narrator) said: "I do not know which of his daughters that was." I said: "What did he mean by: 'Shroud her in it?' Did he mean to put it on like an Izâr?" He said: "No, I think he meant to wrap her completely." (Sahîh)
