3.28 [Machine] Washing the deceased with water and sidr

٣۔٢٨ غُسْلُ الْمَيِّتِ بِالْمَاءِ وَالسِّدْرِ

Messenger of Allah ﷺ came to us when his daughter died and said, "Wash her thrice or five times or more, if you see it necessary, with water and Sidr and then apply camphor or some camphor at the end; and when you finish, notify me." So when we finished it, we informed him and he gave us his waist-sheet and told us to shroud the dead body in it. (Using translation from Bukhārī 1253)  

الكبرى للنسائي:٢٠٢٠أَخْبَرَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ عَنْ مَالِكٍ عَنْ أَيُّوبَ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ سِيرِينَ أَنَّ أُمَّ عَطِيَّةَ الْأَنْصَارِيَّةَ قَالَتْ

دَخَلَ عَلَيْنَا رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ حِينَ تُوُفِّيَتِ ابْنَتُهُ 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» فَلَمَّا فَرَغْنَا آذَنَّاهُ فَأَعْطَانَا حِقْوَهُ وَقَالَ «أَشْعِرْنَهَا إِيَّاهُ»
