حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو مُعَاوِيَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا عَاصِمٌ، عَنْ حَفْصَةَ بِنْتِ سِيرِينَ، عَنْ أُمِّ عَطِيَّةَ، قَالَتْ: لَمَّا مَاتَتْ زَيْنَبُ بِنْتُ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، قَالَ لَنَا رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: " اغْسِلْنَهَا وِتْرًا ثَلَاثًا أَوْ خَمْسًا، وَاجْعَلْنَ فِي الْخَامِسَةِ كَافُورًا، أَوْ شَيْئًا مِنْ كَافُورٍ، فَإِذَا غَسَّلْتُنَّهَا فَأَعْلِمْنَنِي "، قَالَتْ: فَأَعْلَمْنَاهُ، فَأَعْطَانَا حَقْوَهُ، وَقَالَ: " أَشْعِرْنَهَا إِيَّاهُ " (١)،

Translation

English translation

It is narrated from Umm Atiyyah (may Allah be pleased with her) that we were washing the daughter of the Prophet (ﷺ), Zainab. The Prophet (ﷺ) came to us and said, "Wash her an odd number of times, three or more if you think appropriate, and mix lote tree leaves in the water. In the end, apply camphor to her." And when you have finished with these things, inform me." So when we finished, we informed the Prophet (ﷺ). The Prophet (ﷺ) threw a sheet towards us and said, "Wrap her body in this, starting from the head."
