Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah

It is narrated from Hazrat Hisham that Hazrat Umm Humaid asked Bint Sirin: When Hazrat Hafsa was given the ritual bath, did you see how the veil was placed on her? She replied: Yes, the veil was placed on her in the same way as it is placed on a living person. Then the remaining part of the veil, about a cubit in length, was spread at the back, then that remaining part was turned and her face was covered with it.
