ahmad:27135Yaʿqūb from my father > Ibn Isḥāq

I was one of those who washed Umm Kulthum, daughter of the Prophet ﷺ, when she died. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ first gave us lower garment, then shirt, then head-wear, then cloak (which covers the whole body), and then she was shrouded in another garment. She said: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ was sitting at the door, and he had shroud with him. He gave us the garments one by one. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 3157)  

أحمد:٢٧١٣٥حَدَّثَنَا يَعْقُوبُ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا أَبِي عَنِ ابْنِ إِسْحَاقَ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي نُوحُ بْنُ حَكِيمٍ الثَّقَفِيُّ وَكَانَ قَارِئًا لِلْقُرْآنِ عَنْ رَجُلٍ مِنْ بَنِي عُرْوَةَ بْنِ مَسْعُودٍ

يُقَالُ لَهُ دَاوُدُ قَدْ وَلَّدَتْهُ أُمُّ حَبِيبَةَ بِنْتُ أَبِي سُفْيَانَ زَوْجُ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ عَنْ لَيْلَى ابْنَةِ قَانِفٍ الثَّقَفِيَّةِ قَالَتْ كُنْتُ فِيمَنْ غَسَّلَ أُمَّ كُلْثُومٍ بِنْتَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ عِنْدَ وَفَاتِهَا وَكَانَ أَوَّلُ مَا أَعْطَانَا رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ الْحِقَاءَ ثُمَّ الدِّرْعَ ثُمَّ الْخِمَارَ ثُمَّ الْمِلْحَفَةَ ثُمَّ أُدْرِجَتْ بَعْدُ فِي الثَّوْبِ الْآخِرِ قَالَتْ وَرَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ جَالِسٌ عِنْدَ الْبَابِ مَعَهُ كَفَنُهَا يُنَاوِلُنَاهُ ثَوْبًا ثَوْبًا
