Hadith 641
Umm Atiyyah (may Allah be pleased with her) said: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) came to us while we were washing his daughter, and he said: "Wash her three times, or five times, or more than that if you see fit, with pure water and lotus leaves, and in the end add camphor (to the water). Then when you have finished, inform me." So when we finished, we informed him, and he gave us his waist-wrapper and said: "Shroud her body with it."
