Arabic hadith text
حَدَّثَنَا هُدْبَةُ بْنُ خَالِدٍ، حَدَّثَنَا هَمَّامٌ، حَدَّثَنَا قَتَادَةُ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ سِيرِينَ، أَنَّهُ كَانَ يَأْخُذُ الْغُسْلَ عَنْ أُمِّ عَطِيَّةَ، يَغْسِلُ بِالسِّدْرِ مَرَّتَيْنِ وَالثَّالِثَةَ بِالْمَاءِ وَالْكَافُورِ .
Translation
Qatadah reported that Muhammad ibn Sirin learned the washing of the dead from Umm Atiyyah: he would wash with lote leaves twice, then a third time with water and camphor.
