Washing and Shrouding of the Deceased

SUMMARY: The Prophet (ﷺ) instructed his followers to wash the deceased with water and Sidr, put camphor on them, and shroud them in his waist-sheet.

Narrated Muhammad: Um 'Atiyya said, "One of the daughters of the Prophet died and he came out and said, 'Wash her three or five times or more, if you think it necessary, with water and Sidr, and last of all put camphor (or some camphor) and when you finish, inform me'. " Um Atiyya added, "When we finished we informed him and he gave us his waist-sheet and said, 'Shroud her in it'. " And Um 'Atiyya (in another narration) added, "The Prophet said, 'Wash her three, five or seven times or more, if you think it necessary'. " Hafsa said that Um 'Atiyya had also said, "We entwined her hair into three braids".
حَدَّثَنَا حَامِدُ بْنُ عُمَرَ، حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ زَيْدٍ، عَنْ أَيُّوبَ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدٍ، عَنْ أُمِّ عَطِيَّةَ، قَالَتْ تُوُفِّيَتْ إِحْدَى بَنَاتِ النَّبِيِّ فَخَرَجَ، فَقَالَ ‏"‏ اغْسِلْنَهَا ثَلاَثًا أَوْ خَمْسًا أَوْ أَكْثَرَ مِنْ ذَلِكَ إِنْ رَأَيْتُنَّ بِمَاءٍ وَسِدْرٍ، وَاجْعَلْنَ فِي الآخِرَةِ كَافُورًا أَوْ شَيْئًا مِنْ كَافُورٍ، فَإِذَا فَرَغْتُنَّ فَآذِنَّنِي ‏"‏‏.‏ قَالَتْ فَلَمَّا فَرَغْنَا آذَنَّاهُ، فَأَلْقَى إِلَيْنَا حِقْوَهُ فَقَالَ ‏"‏ أَشْعِرْنَهَا إِيَّاهُ ‏"‏‏.‏ وَعَنْ أَيُّوبَ، عَنْ حَفْصَةَ، عَنْ أُمِّ عَطِيَّةَ ـ رضى الله عنهما ـ بِنَحْوِهِ وَقَالَتْ إِنَّهُ قَالَ ‏"‏ اغْسِلْنَهَا ثَلاَثًا أَوْ خَمْسًا أَوْ سَبْعًا أَوْ أَكْثَرَ مِنْ ذَلِكَ إِنْ رَأَيْتُنَّ ‏"‏‏.‏ قَالَتْ حَفْصَةُ قَالَتْ أُمُّ عَطِيَّةَ ـ رضى الله عنها ـ وَجَعَلْنَا رَأْسَهَا ثَلاَثَةَ قُرُونٍ‏.‏

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about how to properly prepare a deceased person for burial. The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ instructed his followers to wash the deceased with water and Sidr, which is a type of tree found in Arabia. After washing them, they were to put camphor on them before finally shrouding them in the Prophet's waist-sheet. These instructions are important because it is believed that proper preparation of a body for burial will help ensure that their soul can rest peacefully after death. It also shows respect for the dead by ensuring that their body is treated with dignity even after death. Furthermore, this hadith teaches us about humility as it was not necessary for the Prophet ﷺ to give away his own clothing as part of this process but he did so anyway out of kindness and generosity towards those who were mourning their loved one's passing.
