أَخْبَرَنَا يُوسُفُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا حَجَّاجٌ عَنْ ابْنِ جُرَيْجٍ قَالَ أَخْبَرَنِي أَيُّوبُ بْنُ أَبِي تَمِيمَةَ أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ مُحَمَّدَ بْنَ سِيرِينَ يَقُولُ کَانَتْ أُمُّ عَطِيَّةَ امْرَأَةٌ مِنْ الْأَنْصَارِ قَدِمَتْ تُبَادِرُ ابْنًا لَهَا فَلَمْ تُدْرِکْهُ حَدَّثَتْنَا قَالَتْ دَخَلَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَلَيْنَا وَنَحْنُ نَغْسِلُ ابْنَتَهُ فَقَالَ اغْسِلْنَهَا ثَلَاثًا أَوْ خَمْسًا أَوْ أَکْثَرَ مِنْ ذَلِکِ إِنْ رَأَيْتُنَّ بِمَائٍ وَسِدْرٍ وَاجْعَلْنَ فِي الْآخِرَةِ کَافُورًا أَوْ شَيْئًا مِنْ کَافُورٍ فَإِذَا فَرَغْتُنَّ فَآذِنَّنِي فَلَمَّا فَرَغْنَا أَلْقَی إِلَيْنَا حِقْوَهُ وَقَالَ أَشْعِرْنَهَا إِيَّاهُ وَلَمْ يَزِدْ عَلَی ذَلِکَ قَالَ لَا أَدْرِي أَيُّ بَنَاتِهِ قَالَ قُلْتُ مَا قَوْلُهُ أَشْعِرْنَهَا إِيَّاهُ أَتُؤَزَّرُ بِهِ قَالَ لَا أُرَاهُ إِلَّا أَنْ يَقُولَ الْفُفْنَهَا فِيهِ
سنن نسائی · Hadith 1898
Muhammad bin Sirin said: ‘ ‘Atiyyah was a woman from ong the An who told us: ‘The Prophet صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم entered upon us while we were washing his daughter and said: “Wash her three times, or five, or more than that if you think that (is necessary), with water and lotus leaves, and put camphor, or some camphor in it the last time. And when you have finished, inform me.” So when we finished we informed him, and he threw his waist-wrap to us and said: “Shroud her in it.” And he did not add to that. He (the narrator) said: “do not know which of his daughters that was.” I said: “What did he mean by: ‘Shroud her in it?’ Did he mean to put it on like an Izar?” He said: “No, I think he meant to wrap her completely.” (Sahih).
