[Machine] It is said that he is called David and his mother is Habibah bint Abi Sufyan, from Layla bint Qanif, the Thaqafi woman. She said, "I was one of those who washed Um Kulthum, the daughter of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. The first thing that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ gave us was the hikwah, then the shield, then the veil, then the veil tied around the face, and then she was wrapped in the final garment."

يُقَالُ لَهُ دَاوُدُ وَلَدَتْهُ أُمُّ حَبِيبَةَ بِنْتُ أَبِي سُفْيَانَ عَنْ لَيْلَى بِنْتِ قَانِفٍ الثَّقَفِيَّةُ قَالَتْ «كُنْتُ فِيمَنِ غَسَّلَ أُمَّ كُلْثُومٍ بِنْتَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَكَانَ أَوَّلُ مَا أَعْطَانَا رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ الْحَقْوَ ثُمَّ الدِّرْعَ ثُمَّ الْخِمَارَ ثُمَّ الْمِلْحَفَةَ ثُمَّ أُدْرِجَتْ فِي الثَّوْبِ الْأَخِيرِ»
