Hadith 263
أَخْبَرَنَا عِيسَى بْنُ يُونُسَ، نا هِشَامُ بْنُ حَسَّانَ، عَنْ حَفْصَةَ، عَنْ أُمِّ عَطِيَّةَ قَالَتْ: تُوُفِّيَ إِحْدَى بَنَاتِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَقَالَ لَنَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: ((اغْسِلُوهَا بِمَاءٍ وَسِدْرٍ، وَاغْسِلُوهَا وِتْرًا ثَلَاثًا أَوْ خَمْسًا أَوْ أَكْثَرَ مِنْ ذَلِكَ إِنَّ رَأَيْتُنَّ، وَاجْعَلْنَ فِي الْآخِرَةِ كَافُورًا أَوْ شَيْئًا مِنْ كَافُورٍ، فَإِذَا فَرَغْتُنَّ فَآذِنَّنِي)) ، فَلَمَّا فَرَغْنَا آذَنَّاهُ، فَأَلْقَى إِلَيْنَا حَقْوَهُ وَقَالَ: ((أَشْعِرْنَهَا إِيَّاهُ)).
Lady Umm ‘Atiyyah (may Allah be pleased with her) narrated: One of the daughters of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) passed away, so the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) told us: “Wash her with water and lotus leaves an odd number of times, three times or five times, or more if you feel it necessary, and in the last washing add camphor or a little camphor to the water. When you have finished, inform me.” When we finished, we informed him, and he (peace and blessings be upon him) threw his waist-wrapper towards us and said: “Wrap her body with it.”
