Volume 2, Book 23, Number 344:
Narrated Um ‘Atiyya al-Ansariya:
Allah’s Apostle 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.
