Sunan an-Nasa'i 1887
أَخْبَرَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادٌ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا أَيُّوبُ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدٍ، عَنْ أُمِّ عَطِيَّةَ، قَالَتْ تُوُفِّيَتْ إِحْدَى بَنَاتِ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم فَأَرْسَلَ إِلَيْنَا فَقَالَ " اغْسِلْنَهَا ثَلاَثًا أَوْ خَمْسًا أَوْ أَكْثَرَ مِنْ ذَلِكِ إِنْ رَأَيْتُنَّ بِمَاءٍ وَسِدْرٍ وَاجْعَلْنَ فِي الآخِرَةِ كَافُورًا أَوْ شَيْئًا مِنْ كَافُورٍ فَإِذَا فَرَغْتُنَّ فَآذِنَّنِي " . فَلَمَّا فَرَغْنَا آذَنَّاهُ فَأَلْقَى إِلَيْنَا حَقْوَهُ وَقَالَ " أَشْعِرْنَهَا إِيَّاهُ " .
Qutaybah narrated to us, saying: Hammad narrated to us, saying: Ayyub narrated to us, from Muhammad, from Umm ‘Atiyyah, who said: One of the daughters of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) died, and he sent word to us, saying: ‘Wash her three or five times, or more than that if you think it appropriate, with water and lote leaves. Put camphor—or some camphor—in the final wash. When you have finished, let me know.’ When we had finished, we informed him. He handed us his waist-wrapper and said: ‘Wrap her with it against her skin.’
