Lady Umm ‘Atiyyah (may Allah be pleased with her) narrated: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) came to us while we were washing his daughter, so he said: “Wash her three times, or five times, or more than that if you feel it is necessary, and in the last washing add camphor or a little camphor to the water. And when you have finished, inform me.” So when we finished, we informed him, and he threw his waist-wrapper towards us and said: “Wrap her body with it.”
