Umm 'Atiyya reported: The Messenger of Allah ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) took a promise from us along with the oath of Allegiance that we would not lament. But only five among us fulfilled the promise (and they are) Umm Sulaim, and Umm al-'Ala', and the daughter of Abu Sabra the wife of Mu'adh, or daughter of Abu Sabra and wife of Mu'adh.

Umm 'Atiyya reported that the Messenger of Allah ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) took pledge from us (including this promise) that we would not lament. Only five amongst us fulfilled the promise, and one of them (who fulfilled the promise) was Umm Sulaim.

Hafsa narrated on the authority of Umm 'Atiyya that she said: When this verse was revealed:" When believing women came to thee giving thee a pledge that they will not associate aught with Allah, and will not disobey thee in good" (lx. 12), she (Umm Atiyya) said: In (this pledge) was also included wailing. I said: Messenger of Allah ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) I except members of such a tribe who helped me (in lamentation) during pre-Islamic days, there is left no alternative for me, but that I should also help them. Upon this the Messenger of Allah ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) said: (Yes) but only in case of the members of such a tribe.

Umm 'Atiyya reported: We were forbidden to follow the bier, but it was not made absolute on us.

Umm 'Atiyya reported: We were refrained from following the bier, but it was not made absolute on us.

Umm 'Atiyya reported: The Apostle of Allah ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) came to us when we were bathing his daughter, and he told us: Wash her with water and (with the leaves of) the lote tree, three or five times, or more than that if you think fit, and put camphor or something like camphor in the last washing; then inform me when you have finished. So when we had finished, we informed him, and he gave to us his (own) under-garment saying:" Put it next her body."

Umm 'Atiyya reported: We braided her hair in three plaits.

Umm 'Atiyya reported: One of the daughters of the Apostle of Allah ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) died. And in the hadith transmitted by Ibn 'Ulayya (the words are): The Messenger of Allah ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) came to us and we were washing his daughter. And in the hadith transmitted by Malik (the words are): There came in (our apartment) the Messenger of Allah ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) when his daughter died. The rest of the hadith is the same as narrated by Yazid bin Zurai' from Ayyub from Muhammad from Umm 'Atiyya.

A hadith like this has been transmitted by Hafsa on the authority of Umm 'Atiyya with the exception (of these words that the Holy Prophet ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) asked them to wash her dead body):" three times, five times, seven times, or more than that, if you deem fit:" Hafsa (further) said on the authority of Umm 'Atiyya (RA): We braided (the hair) of her head in three plaits.

Umm 'Atiyya reported: We washed her an odd number of times, i. e. three, five or seven times; and Umm 'Atiyya (further) said: We braided her hair in three plaits.
