Mukhtasar Bukhari (Abridged) 642 — Begin washing the deceased

In another narration, (Sayyida Umm Atiyyah, may Allah be pleased with her, says) the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Begin washing from her right side and from the places of ablution." (Umm Atiyyah, may Allah be pleased with her) says that we combed her hair and divided it into three parts.
