Book 6: Chapters Regarding Funerals
Muhammad
bin Sirin narrated that Umm ‘Atiyyah said: “The Messenger of
Allah (ﷺ) entered upon us when we were washing his daughter Umm
Kulthum. He said: ‘Wash her three or five times, or more than that
if
you think you need to, with water and lote leaves, and put camphor
or
a little camphor in (the water) for the last washing. When you
have
finished, call for me.’ When we finished, we called him, and
he gave
his waist-wrapper to us and said: ‘Shroud her with it.’”
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْوَهَّابِ الثَّقَفِيُّ، عَنْ أَيُّوبَ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ سِيرِينَ، عَنْ أُمِّ عَطِيَّةَ، قَالَتْ دَخَلَ عَلَيْنَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ وَنَحْنُ نُغَسِّلُ ابْنَتَهُ أُمَّ كُلْثُومٍ فَقَالَ ” اغْسِلْنَهَا ثَلاَثًا أَوْ خَمْسًا أَوْ أَكْثَرَ مِنْ ذَلِكِ إِنْ رَأَيْتُنَّ ذَلِكِ بِمَاءٍ وَسِدْرٍ وَاجْعَلْنَ فِي الآخِرَةِ كَافُورًا أَوْ شَيْئًا مِنْ كَافُورٍ فَإِذَا فَرَغْتُنَّ فَآذِنَّنِي ” . فَلَمَّا فَرَغْنَا آذَنَّاهُ فَأَلْقَى إِلَيْنَا حَقْوَهُ . وَقَالَ ” أَشْعِرْنَهَا إِيَّاهُ ” .
