أَخْبَرَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ مَسْعُودٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا بِشْرٌ عَنْ سَلَمَةَ بْنِ عَلْقَمَةَ عَنْ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ بَعْضِ أَخَوَاتِهِ عَنْ أُمِّ عَطِيَّةَ قَالَتْ
تُوُفِّيَتِ ابْنَةُ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَأَمَرَنَا بِغَسْلِهَا فَقَالَ «اغْسِلْنَهَا ثَلَاثًا أَوْ خَمْسًا أَوْ سَبْعًا أَوْ أَكْثَرَ مِنْ ذَلِكَ إِنْ رَأَيْتُنَّهُ» قَالَتْ قُلْتُ وِتْرًا قَالَ «نَعَمْ وَاجْعَلْنَ فِي الْآخِرَةِ كَافُورًا أَوْ شَيْئًا مِنْ كَافُورٍ فَإِذَا فَرَغْتُنَّ فَآذِنَّنِي» فَلَمَّا فَرَغْنَا آذَنَّاهُ فَأَعْطَانَا حِقْوَهُ فَقَالَ «أَشْعِرْنَهَا إِيَّاهُ»

✧ The daughter of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ died, and he ordered us to wash her, saying: "Wash her three, five, seven, or more times if you see fit." She said: I said: An odd number? He said: "Yes, and put camphor or some camphor in the last wash. When you finish, inform me." When we finished, we informed him, and he gave us his waist-wrapper and said: "Wrap her in it."
