أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللهِ الْحَافِظُ، ثنا أَبُو الْعَبَّاسِ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَعْقُوبَ، ثنا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ إِسْحَاقَ، ثنا عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ يُوسُفَ، أنبأ مَالِكٌ، عَنْ أَيُّوبَ السَّخْتِيَانِيِّ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ سِيرِينَ، عَنْ أُمِّ عَطِيَّةَ الْأَنْصَارِيَّةِ، أَنَّهَا قَالَتْ: دَخَلَ عَلَيْنَا رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ حِينَ تُوُفِّيَتِ ابْنَتُهُ، فَقَالَ: " اغْسِلْنَهَا ثَلَاثًا، أَوْ خَمْسًا، أَوْ أَكْثَرَ مِنْ ذَلِكَ إِنْ رَأَيْتُنَّ ذَلِكَ، بِمَاءٍ وَسِدْرٍ، وَاجْعَلْنَ فِي الْآخِرَةِ كَافُورًا، أَوْ شَيْئًا مِنْ كَافُورٍ، فَإِذَا فَرَغْتُنَّ فَآذِنَّنِي " قَالَتْ: فَلَمَّا فَرَغْنَا آذَنَّاهُ، فَأَعْطَانَا حِقْوَهُ، فَقَالَ: " أَشْعِرْنَهَا ⦗٥٤٧⦘ إِيَّاهُ " تَعْنِي الْإِزَارَ ". رَوَاهُ الْبُخَارِيُّ فِي الصَّحِيحِ، عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي أُوَيْسٍ، وَرَوَاهُ مُسْلِمٌ عَنْ قُتَيْبَةَ كِلَاهُمَا عَنْ مَالِكٍ.
It is narrated from Sayyidah Umm Atiyyah al-Ansariyyah (may Allah be pleased with her) that when the daughter of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) passed away, he (peace and blessings be upon him) came to us and said: "Wash her three or five times, or more than that if you see the need, with water and lote-tree leaves, and put camphor, or some camphor, in the last washing; and when you have finished, inform me." She says: When we had finished, we informed him (peace and blessings be upon him), and he (peace and blessings be upon him) gave us his haqw and said: "Wrap her in it next to her body." By haqw is meant the waist-wrapper.
أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو عَبْدِ اللهِ الْحَافِظُ، ثنا أَبُو الْعَبَّاسِ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَعْقُوبَ، ثنا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ إِسْحَاقَ الصَّغَانِيُّ، ثنا رَوْحُ بْنُ عُبَادَةَ، ثنا هِشَامٌ، عَنْ حَفْصَةَ بِنْتِ سِيرِينَ، عَنْ أُمِّ عَطِيَّةَ الْأَنْصَارِيَّةِ، أَنَّهَا قَالَتْ: تُوُفِّيَتْ إِحْدَى بَنَاتِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَأَتَانَا فَقَالَ: " اغْسِلْنَهَا بِمَاءٍ وَسِدْرٍ 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 حِقْوَهُ فَقَالَ: " أَشْعِرْنَهَا إِيَّاهُ ". قَالَتْ أُمُّ عَطِيَّةَ: فَضَفَّرْنَا رَأْسَهَا ثَلَاثَةَ قُرُونٍ، ثُمَّ أَلْقَيْنَا خَلْفَهَا مُقَدِّمَتَهَا وَقَرْنَيْهَا ". وَأَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو عَبْدِ اللهِ الْحَافِظُ، ثنا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ الْقَطِيعِيُّ، ثنا عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ حَنْبَلٍ، حَدَّثَنِي أَبِي، ثنا يَحْيَى بْنُ سَعِيدٍ، وَيَزِيدُ بْنُ هَارُونَ قَالَا: أنبأ هِشَامٌ فَذَكَرَ الْحَدِيثَ، بِنَحْوِهِ. رَوَاهُ الْبُخَارِيُّ فِي الصَّحِيحِ عَنْ مُسَدَّدٍ عَنْ يَحْيَى، وَرَوَاهُ مُسْلِمٌ عَنْ عَمْرٍو النَّاقِدِ عَنْ يَزِيدَ.
Sayyidah Umm Atiyyah al-Ansariyyah (may Allah be pleased with her) narrates that one of the daughters of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) passed away, so he (peace and blessings be upon him) came to us and said: "Wash her with water and lote-tree leaves, and wash her an odd number of times, three or five, or even more than that if you see the need, and in the last washing put camphor, or some camphor; and when you have finished, tell me." She says: When we had finished, we informed him (peace and blessings be upon him), and he (peace and blessings be upon him) gave us a waist-wrapper and said: "Wrap her in it next to her body." Umm Atiyyah (may Allah be pleased with her) says: We braided her hair into three plaits, then we placed her front plait and her two side plaits behind her.
أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو الْحَسَنِ عَلِيُّ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ الْمُقْرِئُ أنبأ الْحَسَنُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ إِسْحَاقَ، ثنا يُوسُفُ بْنُ يَعْقُوبَ، ثنا سُلَيْمَانُ بْنُ حَرْبٍ، ثنا حَمَّادُ بْنُ زَيْدٍ، عَنْ أَيُّوبَ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدٍ، وَحَفْصَةَ، عَنْ أُمِّ عَطِيَّةَ قَالَتْ: تُوُفِّيَتْ إِحْدَى بَنَاتِ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: " اغْسِلْنَهَا ثَلَاثًا، أَوْ خَمْسًا، أَوْ أَكْثَرَ مِنْ ذَلِكَ إِنْ رَأَيْتُنَّهُ، بِمَاءٍ وَسِدْرٍ، وَاجْعَلْنَ فِي الْآخِرَةِ كَافُورًا، أَوْ شَيْئًا مِنْ كَافُورٍ، فَإِذَا فَرَغْتُنَّ فَآذِنَّنِي " فَلَمَّا فَرَغْنَا آذَنَّاهُ، فَأَلْقَى إِلَيْنَا حِقْوَهُ وَقَالَ: " أَشْعِرْنَهَا إِيَّاهُ ". وَقَالَ أَيُّوبُ عَنْ حَفْصَةَ عَنْ أُمِّ عَطِيَّةَ: " ثَلَاثًا، أَوْ خَمْسًا، أَوْ سَبْعًا، أَوْ أَكْثَرَ مِنْ ذَلِكَ إِنْ رَأَيْتُنَّ ذَلِكَ " قَالَتْ: وَجَعَلْنَا رَأْسَهَا ثَلَاثَةَ قُرُونٍ. رَوَاهُ مُسْلِمٌ فِي الصَّحِيحِ عَنْ قُتَيْبَةَ عَنْ حَمَّادٍ، وَرَوَاهُ الْبُخَارِيُّ عَنْ حَامِدِ بْنِ عُمَرَ عَنْ حَمَّادِ بْنِ زَيْدٍ.
Umm Atiyyah (may Allah be pleased with her) says that one of the daughters of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) passed away, and he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Wash her three or five times, or more than that if you see the need. Wash her with water and lote-tree leaves, and in the last washing put camphor, or some camphor; and when you have finished, tell me." So when we had finished, we informed him (peace and blessings be upon him), and he (peace and blessings be upon him) gave us a waist-wrapper. He (peace and blessings be upon him) further said: "Wrap her in it next to her body", and he also said: "Three, five or seven times, or even more than that if you see the need." She says: And we made her hair into three plaits.
أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو عَلِيٍّ الرُّوذْبَارِيُّ، أنبأ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَكْرٍ، ثنا أَبُو دَاوُدَ، ثنا هُدْبَةُ بْنُ خَالِدٍ، ثنا هَمَّامٌ، ثنا قَتَادَةُ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ سِيرِينَ أَنَّهُ كَانَ يَأْخُذُ الْغُسْلَ عَنْ أُمِّ عَطِيَّةَ: يَغْسِلُ بِالسِّدْرِ مَرَّتَيْنِ، وَالثَّالِثَةَ بِالْمَاءِ وَالْكَافُورِ ".
Muhammad bin Sirin (may Allah have mercy on him) narrates that he learned the method of washing (the dead) from Umm Atiyyah (may Allah be pleased with her): she would wash twice with lote-tree leaves and the third time with water and camphor. And it is narrated from Abdullah bin Amr (may Allah be pleased with them both) that his father instructed him: O my son, when I die, wash me once with water. Ata' (may Allah have mercy on him) says that washing me once is sufficient. Umar bin Abd al-Aziz (may Allah have mercy on him) says that nothing is fixed in this. Ibrahim (may Allah have mercy on him) says that when lote-tree leaves and the like are not available, there is no harm. And the companions of Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with him) used to say that the deceased is to be washed once each time, with a single shroud, and istinja' is to be done once.
أَخْبَرَنَا الشَّرِيفُ الْإِمَامُ أَبُو الْفَتْحِ الْعُمَرِيُّ، أنبأ عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ الشُّرَيْحِيُّ، أنبأ الْبَغَوِيُّ، ثنا عَلِيُّ بْنُ الْجَعْدِ، أنبأ شُعْبَةُ، عَنْ حَمَّادٍ، عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، عَنْ أَصْحَابِ عَبْدِ اللهِ، قَالُوا " الْمَيِّتُ يُغَسَّلُ وِتْرًا، وَيُكَفَّنُ وِتْرًا، وَيُجْمَرُ وِتْرًا ".
Ibrahim (may Allah have mercy on him) narrates from the companions of Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with him) that they said: The deceased is to be washed an odd number of times, shrouded in an odd number (of cloths), and perfumed with incense an odd number of times.
