Chapter: What was narrated concerning washing the deceased
Hadith 1459
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْوَهَّابِ الثَّقَفِيُّ ، عَنْ أَيُّوبَ ، حَدَّثَتْنِي حَفْصَةُ ، عَنْ أُمِّ عَطِيَّةَ ، بِمِثْلِ حَدِيثِ مُحَمَّدٍ ، وَكَانَ فِي حَدِيثِ حَفْصَةَ " اغْسِلْنَهَا وِتْرًا ، وَكَانَ فِيهِ اغْسِلْنَهَا ثَلَاثًا ، أَوْ خَمْسًا ، وَكَانَ فِيهِ ابْدَءُوا بِمَيَامِنِهَا ، وَمَوَاضِعِ الْوُضُوءِ مِنْهَا ، وَكَانَ فِيهِ أَنَّ أُمَّ عَطِيَّةَ قَالَتْ : وَامْشِطْنَهَا ثَلَاثَةَ قُرُونٍ " .
´It was narrated from Ayyub who said:` “Hafsah narrated to me, from Umm ‘Atiyyah” and it is similar to the Hadith of Muhammad. And in the narration of Hafsah it says: “Wash her an odd number of times.” And: “Wash her face three or five times.” And “Start on her right, with the places washed in ablution.” And it says that Umm ‘Atiyyah said: “And we combed her hair into three braids.”
