بَابُ يُبْدَأُ بِمَيَامِنِ الْمَيِّتِ:
Chapter. To start from the right side while giving a bath to a dead body.
Hadith 1255
فَقَالَ أَيُّوبُ : وَحَدَّثَتْنِي حَفْصَةُ بِمِثْلِ حَدِيثِ مُحَمَّدٍ ، وَكَانَ فِي حَدِيثِ حَفْصَةَ اغْسِلْنَهَا وِتْرًا وَكَانَ فِيهِ ثَلَاثًا , أَوْ خَمْسًا , أَوْ سَبْعًا ، وَكَانَ فِيهِ , أَنَّهُ قَالَ : ابْدَأْنَ بِمَيَامِنِهَا وَمَوَاضِعِ الْوُضُوءِ مِنْهَا " ، وَكَانَ فِيهِ أَنَّ أُمَّ عَطِيَّةَ , قَالَتْ : وَمَشَطْنَاهَا ثَلَاثَةَ قُرُونٍ .
Ayyub said that Hafsah also narrated to me like the hadith of Muhammad bin Sirin. In Hafsah’s narration, it was mentioned to wash an odd number of times, and there was this detail: three, five, or seven times (to wash), and it was also stated to begin washing the body from the right side and from the limbs of ablution. It was also in this narration that Umm ‘Atiyyah (may Allah be pleased with her) said: We combed her hair and divided it into three braids.
حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ، حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ ، حَدَّثَنَا خَالِدٌ ، عَنْ حَفْصَةَ بِنْتِ سِيرِينَ ، عَنْ أُمِّ عَطِيَّةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهَا , قَالَتْ : قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِي غَسْلِ ابْنَتِهِ : " ابْدَأْنَ بِمَيَامِنِهَا وَمَوَاضِعِ الْوُضُوءِ مِنْهَا " .
Narrated Um 'Atiyya: Allah's Apostle , concerning his (dead) daughter's bath, said, "Start with the right side, and the parts which are washed in ablution."
