How The Deceased Is To Be Washed
Sunan Abi Dawud
حَدَّثَنَا هُدْبَةُ بْنُ خَالِدٍ، حَدَّثَنَا هَمَّامٌ، حَدَّثَنَا قَتَادَةُ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ سِيرِينَ، أَنَّهُ كَانَ يَأْخُذُ الْغُسْلَ عَنْ أُمِّ عَطِيَّةَ، يَغْسِلُ بِالسِّدْرِ مَرَّتَيْنِ وَالثَّالِثَةَ بِالْمَاءِ وَالْكَافُورِ .
Narrated Qatadah: Muhammad b. Sirin used to learn how to wash the dead from Umm 'Atiyyah: he would was with lotus leaves twice and with water and camphor for the third time.
