Washing Shrouds

"Narrated Um 'Atiyya al-Ansariya:\n\nAllah's Messenger (ﷺ) came to us when his daughter died and said, \"Wash her thrice or five times or more, if you see it necessary, with water and Sidr and then apply camphor or some camphor at the end; and when you finish, notify me.\" So when we finished it, we informed him and he gave us his waist-sheet and told us to shroud the dead body in it.\n\nNarrated Um 'Atiyya:\n\nAllah's Messenger (ﷺ) came to us and we were giving a bath to his dead daughter and said, \"Wash her three, five or more times with water and Sidr and sprinkle camphor on her at the end; and when you finish, notify me.\" So when we finished, we informed him and he gave us his waist-sheet and told us to shroud her in it. Aiyub said that Hafsa narrated to him a narration similar to that of Muhammad in which it was said that the bath was to be given for an odd number of times, and the numbers 3, 5 or 7 were mentioned. It was also said that they were to start with the right side and with the parts which were washed in ablution, and that Um 'Atiyya also mentioned, \"We combed her hair and divided them in three braids.\"\n\nNarrated Um 'Atiyya:\n\nAllah's Messenger (ﷺ), concerning his dead daughter's bath, said, \"Start with the right side, and the parts which are washed in ablution.\"\n\nNarrated Um 'Atiyya:\n\nWhen we washed the deceased daughter of the Prophet, he said to us, while we were washing her, \"Start the bath from the right side and from the parts which are washed in ablution.\"\n\nNarrated Um 'Atiyya:\n\nThe daughter of the Prophet (ﷺ) expired, and he said to us, \"Wash her three or five times, or more if you see it necessary, and when you finish, notify me.\" So, when we finished, we informed him and he unfastened his waist-sheet and told us to shroud her in it.\n\nNarrated Muhammad:\n\nUm 'Atiyya said, \"One of the daughters of the Prophet (ﷺ) died and he came out and said, 'Wash her three or five times or more, if you think it necessary, with water and Sidr, and last of all put camphor or some camphor and when you finish, inform me.'\" Um Atiyya added, \"When we finished we informed him and he gave us his waist-sheet and said, 'Shroud her in it.'\" And Um 'Atiyya, in another narration, added, \"The Prophet (ﷺ) said, 'Wash her three, five or seven times or more, if you think it necessary.'\" Hafsa said that Um 'Atiyya had also said, \"We entwined her hair into three braids.\"\n\nNarrated Hafsa bint Seereen:\n\nUm 'Atiyya said that they had entwined the hair of the daughter of Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) in three braids. They first undid her hair, washed and then entwined it in three braids.\n\nNarrated Ibn Seereen:\n\nUm 'Atiyya came to Basra to visit her son, but she could not find him. She narrated to us, \"The Prophet (ﷺ) came to us while we were giving bath to his dead daughter, he said: 'Wash her three times, five times or more, if you think it necessary, with water and Sidr, and last of all put camphor, and when you finish, notify me.'\" Um 'Atiyya added, \"After finishing, we informed him and he gave us his waist sheet and told us to shroud her in it and did not say more than that.\"\n\nNarrated Um 'Atiyya:\n\nWe entwined the hair of the dead daughter of the Prophet (ﷺ) into three braids. Waki said that Sufyan said, \"One braid was entwined in front and the other two were entwined on the sides of the head.\"\n\nNarrated Um 'Atiyya:\n\nOne of the daughters of the Prophet (ﷺ) expired and he came to us and said, \"Wash her with Sidr water for odd number of times, i.e. three, five or more, if you think it necessary, and in the last, put camphor or some camphor on her, and when you finish, notify me.\" So when we finished we informed him. He gave his waist-sheet to us to shroud her. We entwined the hair of the deceased girl in three braids and made them fall at her back.\n\nNarrated `Aisha:\n\nAllah's Messenger (ﷺ) was shrouded in three Yemenite white Suhuliya pieces of cloth of cotton, and in them there was neither a shirt nor a turban.\n\nNarrated Ibn `Abbas:\n\nWhile a man was riding his mount in `Arafat, he fell down from it and broke his neck and died. The Prophet (ﷺ) said, \"Wash him with water and Sidr and shroud him in two pieces of cloth, and neither perfume him, nor cover his head, for he will be resurrected on the Day of Resurrection saying, 'Labbaik,' like a pilgrim.\"\n\nNarrated Ibn `Abbas:\n\nWhile a man was at `Arafat for Hajj with Allah's Messenger (ﷺ), he fell down from his mount and broke his neck and died. So Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said, \"Wash him with water and Sidr and shroud him in two pieces of cloth and neither perfume him nor cover his head, for Allah will resurrect him on the Day of Resurrection and he will be saying 'Labbaik.'\"\n\nNarrated Ibn `Abbas:\n\nA man was killed by his camel while we were with the Prophet (ﷺ) and he was a Muhrim. So the Prophet (ﷺ) said, \"Wash him with water and Sidr and shroud him in two pieces of cloth and neither perfume him nor cover his head, for Allah will resurrect him on the Day of Resurrection and he will be saying 'Labbaik.'\""
