129- وبه عن محمد بن سيرين عن ام عطية الانصارية انها قالت: دخل علينا رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم حين توفيت ابنته فقال: اغسلنها ثلاثا او اكثر من ذلك إن رايتن ذلك بماء وسدر، واجعلن فى الآخرة كافورا او شيئا من كافور فإذا فرغتن فآذنني. قالت: فلما فرغنا آذناه فاعطانا حقوه، فقال: اشعرنها إياه تعني إزاره.
It is narrated from Sayyida Umm ‘Atiyyah al-Ansariyyah (may Allah be pleased with her) that when the daughter of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) (Sayyida Umm Kulthum, may Allah be pleased with her) passed away, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) came to us and said:“Wash her three times, or more if you think it appropriate, with water and lotus leaves, and in the last time add camphor or a little of camphor. Then when you have finished, inform me.”Umm ‘Atiyyah said: When we finished, we informed the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), then he gave us his waist-wrapper and said:“Shroud her body in this (cloth).”
