حَدَّثَنَا
يَحْيَى بْنُ سَعِيدٍ ,
وَيَزِيدُ بْنُ هَارُونَ , قَالَا : أَنَا
هِشَامٌ ، عَنْ
حَفْصَةَ ، قَالَتْ : حَدَّثَتْنِي
أُمُّ عَطِيَّةَ ، قَالَتْ : تُوُفِّيَتْ إِحْدَى بَنَاتِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، فَأَتَانَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، فَقَالَ :
" اغْسِلْنَهَا بِسِدْرٍ ، وَاغْسِلْنَهَا وِتْرًا : ثَلَاثًا أَوْ خَمْسًا , أَوْ أَكْثَرَ مِنْ ذَلِكَ إِنْ رَأَيْتُنَّ ذَلِكَ , وَاجْعَلْنَ فِي الْآخِرَةِ كَافُورًا , أَوْ شَيْئًا مِنْ كَافُورٍ , فَإِذَا فَرَغْتُنَّ , فَآذِنَّنِي " , قَالَتْ : فَلَمَّا فَرَغْنَا آذَنَّاهُ ، فَأَلْقَى إِلَيْنَا حَقْوَهُ ، فَقَالَ : " أَشْعِرْنَهَا إِيَّاهُ " ، قَالَتْ أُمُّ عَطِيَّةَ : وَضَفَرْنَا رَأْسَ ابْنَةِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ثَلَاثَةَ قُرُونٍ , وَأَلْقَيْنَا خَلْفَهَا قَرْنَيْهَا وَنَاصِيَتَهَا.
It is narrated from Hazrat Umm Atiyyah (may Allah be pleased with her) that when the daughter of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), Hazrat Zainab (may Allah be pleased with her), passed away, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) came to us and said: "Wash her with water of lote tree leaves three times or more (in odd numbers), and in the end, apply camphor to her. And when you have finished with these things, inform me." So when we finished, we informed the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) threw his lower garment towards us and said: "Wrap her body in this first." Umm Atiyyah says that we made her hair into three braids and placed the two sides and the front hair behind.
