Hadith 3107

حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ حَدَّثَنِي أَبِي حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ أَنَا أَيُّوبُ عَنْ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ أُمِّ عَطِيَّةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهَا قَالَتْ: أَتَانَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَنَحْنُ نُغَسِّلُ ابْنَتَهُ عَلَيْهَا السَّلَامُ، فَقَالَ: ((اغْسِلْنَهَا ثَلَاثًا أَوْ خَمْسًا أَوْ أَكْثَرَ مِنْ ذَلِكَ إِنْ رَأَيْتُنَّ ذَلِكَ بِمَاءٍ وَسِدْرٍ وَاجْعَلْنَ فِي الْآخِرَةِ كَافُورًا أَوْ شَيْءًا مِنْ كَافُورٍ، فَإِذَا فَرَغْتُنَّ فَآذِنَّنِي))، قَالَتْ: فَلَمَّا فَرَغْنَا آذَنَّاهُ، فَأَلْقَى إِلَيْنَا حِقْوَهُ وَقَالَ: ((أَشْعِرْنَهَا إِيَّاهُ))، قَالَ: وَقَالَتْ حَفْصَةُ قَالَ: ((اغْسِلْنَهَا وَتْرًا ثَلَاثًا أَوْ خَمْسًا أَوْ سَبْعًا))، قَالَ: قَالَتْ أُمُّ عَطِيَّةَ: مَشَطْنَاهَا ثَلَاثَ قُرُونٍ (زَادَتْ فِي رِوَايَةٍ) وَأَلْقَيْنَا خَلْفَهَا قَرْنَيْهَا وَنَاصِيَتَهَا
Sayyida Umm Atiyya (may Allah be pleased with her) says: We were washing the daughter of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), when the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) came and said: Wash her three or five times with water and lotus leaves, or more if you feel it is necessary, but mix some camphor in the last wash. Then when you have finished, inform me. So when we finished washing, we informed him, and he (peace and blessings be upon him) gave us his lower garment and said: Wrap her first in this cloth. Sayyida Hafsa (may Allah be pleased with her) says: He (peace and blessings be upon him) had said to wash her an odd number of times, i.e., three, five, or seven times. Sayyida Umm Atiyya (may Allah be pleased with her) says: We combed her hair and divided it into three parts. In one narration: We brought the front and side hair to the back.
