(the wife of the Prophet) Once Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) passed by (the grave of) a Jewess whose relatives were
weeping over her. He said, “They are weeping over her and she is being tortured in her grave.”

The Prophet (ﷺ) was shrouded in three pieces of cloth which were made of Suhul (a type of cotton), and
neither a shirt nor a turban were used.

That his father said, “When `Umar was stabbed, Suhaib started crying: O my brother! `Umar said,
‘Don’t you know that the Prophet (ﷺ) said: The deceased is tortured for the weeping of the living’?”

Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) was shrouded in three pieces of cloth and neither a shirt nor a turban were used.

Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) was shrouded in three pieces of cloth which were made of white Suhul and neither a
shirt nor a turban were used.

Once the meal of `Abdur-Rahman bin `Auf was brought in front of him, and he said, “Mus`ab bin
`Umair was martyred and he was better than I, and he had nothing except his Burd (a black square
narrow dress) to be shrouded in. Hamza or another person was martyred and he was also better than I
and he had nothing to be shrouded in except his Burd. No doubt, I fear that the rewards of my deeds
might have been given early in this world.” Then he started weeping.

Um ‘Atiyya said, “One of the daughters of the Prophet (ﷺ) 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 (ﷺ) 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.”

Um ‘Atiyya said that they had entwined the hair of the daughter of Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) in three braids.
They first undid her hair, washed and then entwined it in three braids.”

Um ‘Atiyya (an Ansari woman who gave the pledge of allegiance to the Prophet (ﷺ) ) came to Basra to
visit her son, but she could not find him. She narrated to us, “The Prophet (ﷺ) came to us while we were
giving bath to his (dead) daughter, he said: ‘Wash her three times, five times or more, if you think it
necessary, with water and Sidr, and last of all put camphor, and when you finish, notify me.’ ” Um
‘Atiyya added, “After finishing, we informed him and he gave us his waist sheet and told us to shroud
her in it and did not say more than that.”

We entwined the hair of the dead daughter of the Prophet (ﷺ) into three braids. Waki said that Sufyan
said, “One braid was entwined in front and the other two were entwined on the sides of the head.”
