[Machine] One of the daughters of the Prophet (PBUH) passed away, so he ordered us to wash her three, five, or more times if we saw fit, and to put in the last wash something of camphor and lote leaves.  

الطبراني:٢١٦٥٧حَدَّثَنَا يُوسُفُ الْقَاضِي ثنا سُلَيْمَانُ بْنُ حَرْبٍ ثنا زَيْدُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ التُّسْتَرِيُّ ثنا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ سِيرِينَ عَنْ أُمِّ عَطِيَّةَ قَالَتْ

«تُوُفِّيَتْ إِحْدَى بَنَاتِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَأَمَرَنَا أَنْ نُغَسِّلَهَا ثَلَاثًا أَوْ خَمْسًا أَوْ أَكْثَرَ مِنْ ذَلِكَ إِنْ رَأَيْتُنَّهُ وَأَنْ تَجْعَلَنَ فِي الْغَسْلَةِ الْآخِرَةِ شَيْئًا مِنْ كَافُورٍ وَسِدْرٍ»

"The Messenger of Allah entered upon us while we were washing his daughter and said: 'Wash her three times, or five or more if you think (that is necessary), with water and lotus leaves, and put camphor, or some camphor in it the last time. And when you have finished, inform me.' When we finished, we informed him, and he threw his waist-wrap to us, and said: Shroud her in it."

تُوُفِّيَتْ إِحْدَى بَنَاتِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَأَرْسَلَ إِلَيْنَا فَقَالَ اغْسِلْنَهَا ثَلاَثًا أَوْ خَمْسًا أَوْ أَكْثَرَ مِنْ ذَلِكِ إِنْ رَأَيْتُنَّ بِمَاءٍ وَسِدْرٍ وَاجْعَلْنَ فِي الآخِرَةِ كَافُورًا أَوْ شَيْئًا مِنْ كَافُورٍ فَإِذَا فَرَغْتُنَّ فَآذِنَّنِي فَلَمَّا فَرَغْنَا آذَنَّاهُ فَأَلْقَى إِلَيْنَا حَقْوَهُ وَقَالَ أَشْعِرْنَهَا إِيَّاهُ
