Bayhaqi 6770 — The shroud of a woman

أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو عَمْرٍو الْأَدِيبُ، أنبأ أَبُو بَكْرٍ الْإِسْمَاعِيلِيُّ، أنبأ الْحَسَنُ بْنُ سُفْيَانَ، ثنا حَرْمَلَةُ، أنبأ ابْنُ وَهْبٍ، أنبأ ابْنُ جُرَيْجٍ، أَنَّ أَيُّوبَ بْنَ أَبِي تَمِيمَةَ أَخْبَرَهُ قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ ابْنَ سِيرِينَ، يَقُولُ: حَدَّثَتْنَا أُمُّ عَطِيَّةَ، قَالَتْ: دَخَلَ عَلَيْنَا النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى الله عَلَيهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَنَحْنُ نُغَسِّلُ ابْنَتَهُ، فَقَالَ: " اغْسِلْنَهَا ثَلَاثًا أَوْ خَمْسًا أَوْ أَكْثَرَ مِنْ ذَلِكَ إِنْ رَأَيْتُنَّ ذَلِكَ بِمَاءٍ وَسِدْرٍ وَاجْعَلْنَ فِي الْآخِرَةِ كَافُورًا، فَإِذَا فَرَغْتُنَّ فَآذِنَّنِي "، فَلَمَّا فَرَغْنَا أَلْقَى إِلَيْنَا حَقْوَهُ، فَقَالَ: " أَشْعِرْنَهَا إِيَّاهُ " قَالَ: وَلَمْ يَزِدْ عَلَى ذَلِكَ، قَالَ: فَلَا أَدْرِي أِيَّ بَنَاتِهِ وَزَعَمَ أَنَّ الْإِشْعَارَ: الْفِفْنَهَا فِيهِ، قَالَ: وَكَذَلِكَ كَانَ ابْنُ سِيرِينَ: يَأْمُرُ بِالْمَرْأَةِ أَنْ تُشْعَرَ لِفَافَةً وَلَا تُؤْزَرَ رَوَاهُ الْبُخَارِيُّ فِي الصَّحِيحِ عَنْ أَحْمَدَ عَنِ ابْنِ وَهْبٍ.
Ibn Sirin (may Allah have mercy on him) says: Sayyidah Umm Atiyyah (may Allah be pleased with her) narrated to us; she said: The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) came to us while we were washing his daughter, and he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Wash her three or five times, or more than that if you see the need, with water and lote leaves, and at the end put camphor." When we had finished with that, he (peace and blessings be upon him) threw his waist-wrapper to us and said: "Shroud her in it."
He said: He did not add more than that. He said: I do not know which of his daughters it was. And he held that ish'ar means: wrap her in it. He said: And likewise Ibn Sirin used to order that a woman be wrapped in an inner wrapping and not be dressed in a waist-wrapper.
