Narrated Hakim bin Hizam
The Prophet said, “The upper hand is better than the lower hand (i.e. he who gives in charity is
better than him who takes it). One should start giving first to his dependents. And the best object of
charity is that which is given by a wealthy person (from the money which is left after his expenses).
And whoever abstains from asking others for some financial help, Allah will give him and save him
from asking others, Allah will make him self-sufficient.”

Narrated Um ‘Atiyya
Allah’s Apostle came to us and we were giving a bath to his (dead) daughter and said, “Wash her
three, five or more times with water and Sidr and sprinkle camphor on her at the end; and when you
finish, notify me.” So when we finished, we informed him and he gave us his waist-sheet and told us
to shroud her in it. Aiyub said that Hafsa narrated to him a narration similar to that of Muhammad
in which it was said that the bath was to be given for an odd number of times, and the numbers 3, 5
or 7 were mentioned. It was also said that they were to start with the right side and with the parts
which were washed in ablution, and that Um ‘Atiyya also mentioned, “We combed her hair and di –
vided them in three braids.”
