حَدَّثَنَا عَمْرٌو النَّاقِدُ حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ بْنُ هَارُونَ أَخْبَرَنَا هِشَامُ بْنُ حَسَّانَ عَنْ حَفْصَةَ بِنْتِ سِيرِينَ عَنْ أُمِّ عَطِيَّةَ قَالَتْ أَتَانَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَنَحْنُ نَغْسِلُ إِحْدَی بَنَاتِهِ فَقَالَ اغْسِلْنَهَا وِتْرًا خَمْسًا أَوْ أَکْثَرَ مِنْ ذَلِکِ بِنَحْوِ حَدِيثِ أَيُّوبَ وَعَاصِمٍ وَقَالَ فِي الْحَدِيثِ قَالَتْ فَضَفَرْنَا شَعْرَهَا ثَلَاثَةَ أَثْلَاثٍ قَرْنَيْهَا وَنَاصِيَتَهَا
صحیح مسلم · Hadith 2174
Umm 'Atiyya reported: When Zainab the daughter of the Messenger of Allah ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) died, he said to us: Wash her odd number of times, i. e. three or five times, and put camphor or something-like camphor at the fifth time, and after you have washed her inform me. So we informed him and he gave us his under-garment, saying: Put it next her body.
