Wash a dead person's body an odd number of times, usually five or more; Braid their hair in three plaits; Respect them even after death; Take care when performing these rituals.

This hadith is about washing and braiding hair for the deceased. The Prophet Muhammad instructed Umm 'Atiyya to wash the body of his daughter an odd number of times, which is usually five or more. He also asked her to braid her hair in three plaits, two on either side of her head and one on her forehead. This hadith teaches us that it is important to take care of our loved ones even after they have passed away by performing certain rituals such as washing their bodies with respect and braiding their hair in a particular way. It also shows us how much importance was given to cleanliness during the time of Prophet Muhammad, as he asked for his daughter's body to be washed multiple times before burial.
