The Messenger of Allah ﷺ came in when his daughter died, and he said: Wash her with water and lotus leaves three or five times or more than that if you think fit, and put camphor, or some camphor in the last washing, then inform me when you finish. When we had finished we informed him, and he threw us his lower garment saying: Put it next to her body. Malik's version has: that is, his lower garment (izar); and Musaddad did not say: He entered in. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 3142)   

دَخَلَ عَلَيْنَا النَّبِيُّ ﷺوَنَحْنُ نُغَسِّلُ ابْنَتَهُ فَقَالَ اغْسِلْنَهَا ثَلَاثًا أَوْ خَمْسًا أَوْ أَكْثَرَ مِنْ ذَلِكَ إِنْ رَأَيْتُنَّ ذَلِكَ بِمَاءٍ وَسِدْرٍ وَاجْعَلْنَ فِي الْآخِرَةِ كَافُورًا أَوْ شَيْئًا مِنْ كَافُورٍ فَإِذَا فَرَغْتُنَّ فَآذِنَّنِي قَالَتْ فَلَمَّا فَرَغْنَا آذَنَّاهُ فَأَلْقَى إِلَيْنَا حَقْوَهُ فَقَالَ أَشْعِرْنَهَا إِيَّاهُ  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: "When a woman dies and they intend to wash her, they should start with her abdomen and gently wipe her abdomen, if she is not pregnant. If she is pregnant, do not move her, then when you want to wash her, start with her lower body and place a cloth over her private parts, then take a handful of a cleansing agent and wash her, doing it well. Then enter your hand from under the cloth and wipe her three times, doing it well before you perform the ablution. Then perform the ablution with water and sidr leaves, and let a woman pour the water over her while she is standing and not looking at anything else. The washing of her body should be done by the woman who is righteous, but if she is young or weak, then another Muslim woman who is righteous should wash her. When the washing of her lower body is complete, wash her with clean water mixed with sidr. This is an explanation of how to perform the washing. Then wash her three times with water and sidr, starting with her head before anything else, and purify every washing from the sidr with water. Do not comb her hair, but if something happens to her hair after the three washings, then make it five, and if something happens after the five, then make it seven. All of this should be done with water and sidr, so as not to leave any doubt. If this happens in the last washing, the third or any other, then take some camphor and some sidr, and put it in a new container, then sit her down and pour it over her, starting with her head until you reach her feet. When you are done, place a clean cloth over her, then enter your hand from behind the cloth and remove it from her. This is an explanation of washing her lower body. Then apply perfume to her, shroud her, and braid her hair in three braids, and do not make her resemble a man. Her shroud should consist of five garments, one of them being the wrap that covers her lower body, and do not remove anything from her hair, such as a Qomees or anything else. If anything falls from her hair, wash it and then return it to her hair or fix it to her hair. If she is bald, or has shaved hair, or something similar, then take a wide cloth and wash it with water, or in another narration, immerse it in water. In our narration, make sure to follow everything and do not move her, as I fear that something may be ruptured that cannot be fixed. This is the wording of Ibn Khuzaymah and the Hadith of al-Saghaani, and it ends with the statement: "And her shroud should consist of five garments."
