Volume 2, Book 23, Number 351:
Narrated Ibn Sirin:
Um 'Atiyya (an Ansari woman who gave the pledge of allegiance to the Prophet ) came to Basra to
visit her son, but she could not find him. She narrated to us, "The Prophet came to us while we were
giving bath to his (dead) daughter, he said: 'Wash her three times, five times or more, if you think it
necessary, with water and Sidr, and last of all put camphor, and when you finish, notify me.' " Um
'Atiyya added, "After finishing, we informed him and he gave us his waist sheet and told us to shroud
her in it and did not say more than that."
