Umm Atiya was a woman from the Ansar who had come hurrying to reach a son of hers but did not arrive in time. She narrated to us, saying, "The Prophet ﷺ came in to us while we were washing his daughter's body, and he said, 'Wash her three times, or five, or more than that if you see fit, with water and lote-tree leaves, and put camphor, or some camphor, in the final washing. When you have finished, let me know.' When we had finished, he handed us his waist-wrap and said, 'Wrap her body next to it.'"He did not add anything beyond that. He said, "I do not know which of his daughters it was."Zirr said, I asked, "What does his statement 'Wrap her body next to it' mean? Was it to be tied around her like a waist-wrap?"He replied, "I think he only meant, 'Shroud her in it.'"

كانت أم عطية امرأة من الأنصار قدمت تبادر ابنا لها فلم تدركه حدثتنا قالت دخل النبي ﷺ علينا ونحن نغسل ابنته فقال اغسلنها ثلاثا أو خمسا أو أكثر من ذلك إن رأيتن بماء وسدر واجعلن في الآخرة كافورا أو شيئا من كافور فإذا فرغتن فآذنني فلما فرغنا ألقى إلينا حقوه وقال أشعرنها إياه ولم يزد على ذلك قال لا أدري أي بناته قال قلت ما قوله أشعرنها إياه أتؤزر به قال لا أراه إلا أن يقول الففنها فيه
