أَخْبَرَنَا سُوَيْدُ بْنُ نَصْرٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ أَنْبَأَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ عَاصِمِ بْنِ سُلَيْمَانَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ أَبِي عُثْمَانَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ حَدَّثَنِي أُسَامَةُ بْنُ زَيْدٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ أَرْسَلَتْ بِنْتُ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِلَيْهِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏أَنَّ ابْنًا لِي قُبِضَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَأْتِنَا فَأَرْسَلَ يَقْرَأُ السَّلَامَ،‏‏‏‏ وَيَقُولُ:‏‏‏‏ إِنَّ لِلَّهِ مَا أَخَذَ وَلَهُ مَا أَعْطَى وَكُلُّ شَيْءٍ عِنْدَ اللَّهِ بِأَجَلٍ مُسَمًّى فَلْتَصْبِرْ وَلْتَحْتَسِبْ ،‏‏‏‏ فَأَرْسَلَتْ إِلَيْهِ تُقْسِمُ عَلَيْهِ لَيَأْتِيَنَّهَا، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَقَامَ وَمَعَهُ سَعْدُ بْنُ عُبَادَةَ وَمُعَاذُ بْنُ جَبَلٍ وَأُبَيُّ بْنُ كَعْبٍ وَزَيْدُ بْنُ ثَابِتٍ وَرِجَالٌ فَرُفِعَ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ الصَّبِيُّ وَنَفْسُهُ تَقَعْقَعُ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَفَاضَتْ عَيْنَاهُ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَقَالَ سَعْدٌ:‏‏‏‏ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ،‏‏‏‏ مَا هَذَا ؟ قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ هَذَا رَحْمَةٌ يَجْعَلُهَا اللَّهُ فِي قُلُوبِ عِبَادِهِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَإِنَّمَا يَرْحَمُ اللَّهُ مِنْ عِبَادِهِ الرُّحَمَاءَ .

Usamah bin Zaid رضی الله عنہ told me: 'The daughter of the Prophet sent word to him telling him: A son of mine is dying, come to us. He sent word to her, conveying his greeting of salam and saying: To Allah belongs that which He takes and that which He gives, and everything has an appointed time with Allah. Let her be patient and seek reward. She sent word to him adjuring him to go to her. So he got up and went, accompanied by Sa'd bin 'Ubadah, Muadh bin Jabal, Ubayy bin Kab Zaid bin Thabit and some other men. The boy was lifted up to the Messenger of Allah, with the death rattle sounding in him, and his eyes filled with tears. Sa'd said: O Messenger of Allah, what is this? he said: This is compassion which Allah has created in the hearts of His slaves. Allah has mercy on His compassionate slaves.

It was narrated that Abu 'Uthman said

أَخْبَرَنَا عَمْرُو بْنُ عَلِيٍّ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ ثَابِتٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ سَمِعْتُ أَنَسًا، ‏‏‏‏‏‏يَقُولُ:‏‏‏‏ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ:‏‏‏‏ الصَّبْرُ عِنْدَ الصَّدْمَةِ الْأُولَى .

I heard Anas رضی الله عنہ say: 'The Messenger of Allah said: True patience is that which comes at the first blow. '

It was narrated that Thabit said

أَخْبَرَنَا عَمْرُو بْنُ عَلِيٍّ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو إِيَاسٍ وَهُوَ مُعَاوِيَةُ بْنُ قُرَّةَ،‏‏‏‏ عَنْ أَبِيهِ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏أَنَّ رَجُلًا أَتَى النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَمَعَهُ ابْنٌ لَهُ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَقَالَ لَهُ:‏‏‏‏ أَتُحِبُّهُ ؟ ،‏‏‏‏ فَقَالَ:‏‏‏‏ أَحَبَّكَ اللَّهُ كَمَا أُحِبُّهُ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَمَاتَ فَفَقَدَهُ فَسَأَلَ عَنْهُ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَقَالَ:‏‏‏‏ مَا يَسُرُّكَ أَنْ لَا تَأْتِيَ بَابًا مِنْ أَبْوَابِ الْجَنَّةِ إِلَّا وَجَدْتَهُ عِنْدَهُ يَسْعَى يَفْتَحُ لَكَ .

A man came to the Prophet accompanied by a son of his. He said to him: Do you love him? He said: May Allah love you as I love him. Then he (the son) died and he noticed his absence and asked about him. He said: Will it not make you happy to know that you will not come to any of the gates of Paradise but you will find him there, trying to open it for you?

Abu lyas Mu'awiyah bin 'Qurrah رضی الله عنہ narrated from his father that

أَخْبَرَنَا سُوَيْدُ بْنُ نَصْرٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ أَنْبَأَنَا عُمَرُ بْنُ سَعِيدِ بْنِ أَبِي حُسَيْنٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏أَنَّ عَمْرَو بْنَ شُعَيْبٍ كَتَبَ إِلَى عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ أَبِي حُسَيْنٍ يُعَزِّيهِ بِابْنٍ لَهُ هَلَكَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَذَكَرَ فِي كِتَابِهِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ أَبَاهُ يُحَدِّثُ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ جَدِّهِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَمْرِو بْنِ الْعَاصِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ:‏‏‏‏ إِنَّ اللَّهَ لَا يَرْضَى لِعَبْدِهِ الْمُؤْمِنِ إِذَا ذَهَبَ بِصَفِيِّهِ مِنْ أَهْلِ الْأَرْضِ فَصَبَرَ وَاحْتَسَبَ،‏‏‏‏ وَقَالَ:‏‏‏‏ مَا أُمِرَ بِهِ بِثَوَابٍ دُونَ الْجَنَّةِ .

'Amr bin Shu'aib wrote to 'Abdullah bin 'Abdur-Rahman bin Abi Husain to offer condolences for a son of his who had died. In his letter he mentioned that he had heard his father narrate, that his grandfather, 'Abdullah bin 'Amr bin Al-As رضی اللہ عنہما said: The Messenger of Allah said: 'Allah does not approve for His believing slave, if He takes away his loved one from among the people of the Earth, and he bears that with patience and seeks reward, and says that which he is commanded any reward less than Paradise. '

Amr bin sa'eed bin Abi Husain told us that

أَخْبَرَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ عَمْرِو بْنِ السَّرْحِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ وَهْبٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏حَدَّثَنِي عَمْرٌو، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ حَدَّثَنِي بُكَيْرُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ عِمْرَانَ بْنِ نَافِعٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ حَفْصِ بْنِ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ أَنَسٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏أَنّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ مَنِ احْتَسَبَ ثَلَاثَةً مِنْ صُلْبِهِ دَخَلَ الْجَنَّةَ ،‏‏‏‏ فَقَامَتِ امْرَأَةٌ،‏‏‏‏ فَقَالَتْ:‏‏‏‏ أَوِ اثْنَانِ،‏‏‏‏ قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ أَوِ اثْنَانِ ،‏‏‏‏ قَالَتِ الْمَرْأَةُ:‏‏‏‏ يَا لَيْتَنِي قُلْتُ وَاحِدًا.

The Messenger of Allah said: Whoever seeks reward for (the loss of) three of his own children, he will enter Paradise. A woman stood up and said: Or two? He said: Or two. The woman said: I wish that I had said, 'or one. '

It was narrated from Anas رضی الله عنہ that

أَخْبَرَنَا يُوسُفُ بْنُ حَمَّادٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْوَارِثِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ عَبْدِ الْعَزِيزِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ أَنَسٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ:‏‏‏‏ مَا مِنْ مُسْلِمٍ يُتَوَفَّى لَهُ ثَلَاثَةٌ مِنَ الْوَلَدِ لَمْ يَبْلُغُوا الْحِنْثَ إِلَّا أَدْخَلَهُ اللَّهُ الْجَنَّةَ بِفَضْلِ رَحْمَتِهِ إِيَّاهُمْ .

The Messenger of Allah said: 'There is no Muslim, three of whose children die before reaching puberty, but Allah will admit him to Paradise by virtue of His mercy towards them. '

It was narrated that Anas رضی الله عنہ said

أَخْبَرَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ مَسْعُودٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ حَدَّثَنَا بِشْرُ بْنُ الْمُفَضَّلِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ يُونُسَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنِ الْحَسَنِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ صَعْصَعَةَ بْنِ مُعَاوِيَةَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ لَقِيتُ أَبَا ذَرٍّ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قُلْتُ:‏‏‏‏ حَدِّثْنِي، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ نَعَمْ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ:‏‏‏‏ مَا مِنْ مُسْلِمَيْنِ يَمُوتُ بَيْنَهُمَا ثَلَاثَةُ أَوْلَادٍ لَمْ يَبْلُغُوا الْحِنْثَ إِلَّا غَفَرَ اللَّهُ لَهُمَا بِفَضْلِ رَحْمَتِهِ إِيَّاهُمْ .

I met Abu Dharr رضی اللہ عنہ and said: 'Tell me a Hadith.' He said: the Messenger of Allah said: There are no two Muslims, three of whose children die before reaching puberty, but Allah will forgive them by virtue of His mercy towards them. '

It was narrated that Sa'sa'ah bin Mu'awiyah said

أَخْبَرَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ مَالِكٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ سَعِيدٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏أَنّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ لَا يَمُوتُ لِأَحَدٍ مِنَ الْمُسْلِمِينَ ثَلَاثَةٌ مِنَ الْوَلَدِ فَتَمَسَّهُ النَّارُ إِلَّا تَحِلَّةَ الْقَسَمِ .

The Messenger of Allah said: No Muslim, three of whose children die, will be touched by the Fire, except in fulfillment of the (Divine) oath.

It was narrated from Abu Hurairah رضی الله عنہ that

أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ إِسْمَاعِيلَ بْنِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ ابْنِ عُلَيَّةَ وَعَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَا:‏‏‏‏ حَدَّثَنَا إِسْحَاقُ وَهُوَ الْأَزْرَقُ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ عَوْفٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ مُحَمَّدٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ مَا مِنْ مُسْلِمَيْنِ يَمُوتُ بَيْنَهُمَا ثَلَاثَةُ أَوْلَادٍ لَمْ يَبْلُغُوا الْحِنْثَ إِلَّا أَدْخَلَهُمَا اللَّهُ بِفَضْلِ رَحْمَتِهِ إِيَّاهُمُ الْجَنَّةَ،‏‏‏‏ قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ يُقَالُ لَهُمُ ادْخُلُوا الْجَنَّةَ،‏‏‏‏ فَيَقُولُونَ:‏‏‏‏ حَتَّى يَدْخُلَ آبَاؤُنَا،‏‏‏‏ فَيُقَالُ:‏‏‏‏ ادْخُلُوا الْجَنَّةَ أَنْتُمْ وَآبَاؤُكُمْ .

The Prophet said: There are no two Muslims, three of whose children die before reaching puberty, but Allah will admit them to Paradise by virtue of His mercy toward them. It will be said to them: 'Enter Paradise.' They will say: 'Not until our parents enter.' So it will be said: 'Enter Paradise, you and your parents. '

It was narrated from Abu Hurairah رضی الله عنہ that

أَخْبَرَنَا إِسْحَاقُ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ أَنْبَأَنَا جَرِيرٌ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ حَدَّثَنِي طَلْقُ بْنُ مُعَاوِيَةَ،‏‏‏‏ وَحَفْصُ بْنُ غِيَاثٍ،‏‏‏‏ قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ حَدَّثَنِي جَدِّي طَلْقُ بْنُ مُعَاوِيَةَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ أَبِي زُرْعَةَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ جَاءَتِ امْرَأَةٌ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بِابْنٍ لَهَا يَشْتَكِي، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَقَالَتْ:‏‏‏‏ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ،‏‏‏‏ أَخَافُ عَلَيْهِ وَقَدْ قَدَّمْتُ ثَلَاثَةً، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ:‏‏‏‏ لَقَدِ احْتَظَرْتِ بِحِظَارٍ شَدِيدٍ مِنَ النَّارِ .

A woman came to the Messenger of Allah with a son of hers who was ill and said: 'O Messenger of Allah, I fear for him, and I have already lost three.' The Messenger of Allah said: You have a great protection against the Hellfire.

It was narrated that Abu Hurairah رضی الله عنہ said

أَخْبَرَنَا إِسْحَاقُ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ أَنْبَأَنَا سُلَيْمَانُ بْنُ حَرْبٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ زَيْدٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ أَيُّوبَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ حُمَيْدِ بْنِ هِلَالٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ أَنَسٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏أَنّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ:‏‏‏‏ نَعَى زَيْدًا وَجَعْفَرًا قَبْلَ أَنْ يَجِيءَ خَبَرُهُمْ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَنَعَاهُمْ وَعَيْنَاهُ تَذْرِفَانِ .

The Messenger of Allah announced the news of the death of Zaid and Ja'far before news of them came. He announced their death and his eyes were overflowing with tears.

It was narrated from Anas رضی الله عنہ that

أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو دَاوُدَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ حَدَّثَنَا يَعْقُوبُ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ حَدَّثَنَا أَبِي، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ صَالِحٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ حَدَّثَنِي أَبُو سَلَمَةَ،‏‏‏‏ وَابْنُ الْمُسَيَّبِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏أَنَّ أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ أَخْبَرَهُمَا، ‏‏‏‏‏‏أَنّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ:‏‏‏‏ نَعَى لَهُمَا النَّجَاشِيَّ صَاحِبَ الْحَبَشَةِ الْيَوْمَ الَّذِي مَاتَ فِيهِ وَقَالَ:‏‏‏‏ اسْتَغْفِرُوا لِأَخِيكُمْ .

The Messenger of Allah had told them of the death of An-Najashi, the ruler of Ethiopia, on the day that he died, and he said: Pray for forgiveness for your brother.

Abu Salamah and Ibn Al-Musayyab narrated that Abu Hurairah رضی الله عنہ told them, that

أَخْبَرَنَا عُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ فَضَالَةَ بْنِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ هُوَ ابْنُ يَزِيدَ الْمُقْرِئُ. ح وَأَنْبَأَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ يَزِيدَ الْمُقْرِئُ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ حَدَّثَنَا أَبِي، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ سَعِيدٌ،‏‏‏‏ حَدَّثَنِي رَبِيعَةُ بْنُ سَيْفٍ الْمَعَافِرِيُّ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ الْحُبُلِيِّ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَمْرٍو، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ بَيْنَمَا نَحْنُ نَسِيرُ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِذْ بَصُرَ بِامْرَأَةٍ لَا تَظُنُّ أَنَّهُ عَرَفَهَا، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَلَمَّا تَوَسَّطَ الطَّرِيقَ وَقَفَ حَتَّى انْتَهَتْ إِلَيْهِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَإِذَا فَاطِمَةُ بِنْتُ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ لَهَا:‏‏‏‏ مَا أَخْرَجَكِ مِنْ بَيْتِكِ يَا فَاطِمَةُ ؟ ،‏‏‏‏ قَالَتْ:‏‏‏‏ أَتَيْتُ أَهْلَ هَذَا الْمَيِّتِ فَتَرَحَّمْتُ إِلَيْهِمْ وَعَزَّيْتُهُمْ بِمَيِّتِهِمْ،‏‏‏‏ قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ لَعَلَّكِ بَلَغْتِ مَعَهُمُ الْكُدَى ،‏‏‏‏ قَالَتْ:‏‏‏‏ مَعَاذَ اللَّهِ أَنْ أَكُونَ بَلَغْتُهَا وَقَدْ سَمِعْتُكَ تَذْكُرُ فِي ذَلِكَ مَا تَذْكُرُ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَقَالَ لَهَا:‏‏‏‏ لَوْ بَلَغْتِهَا مَعَهُمْ مَا رَأَيْتِ الْجَنَّةَ حَتَّى يَرَاهَا جَدُّ أَبِيكِ ،‏‏‏‏ قَالَ أَبُو عَبْد الرَّحْمَنِ:‏‏‏‏ رَبِيعَةُ ضَعِيفٌ.

While we were traveling with the Messenger of Allah, he saw a woman, and did not think that he knew her. When she was halfway to him, he stopped until she reached him, and it was Fatimah, the daughter of the Messenger of Allah. He said to her: 'What brought you out of your house, O Fatimah?' She said: 'I came to the people of this deceased one to pray for mercy for them, and to offer my condolences to them.' He said: 'Perhaps you went with them to Al-Kuda? She said: 'Allah forbid that I should go there. I heard what you said about that.' He said: If you had gone there with them, you would never have seen Paradise until the grandfather of your father saw it. ' Abu Abdur Rahman (An-Nasa'i) said: Rabi'ah is (a) weak (narrator).

Rabiah bin Saif Al-Mu'afiri narrated from Abu 'Abdur-Rahman Al-Hubuli, from 'Abdullah bin 'Amr رضی الله عنہما , who said

ہم سے قتیبہ نے مالک کی سند سے، ایوب کی سند سے، محمد بن سیرین کی سند سے۔‏‏‏‏‏‏أَنَّ أُمَّ عَطِيَّةَ الْأَنْصَارِيَّةَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَتْ:‏‏‏‏ دَخَلَ عَلَيْنَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ حِينَ تُوُفِّيَتِ ابْنَتُهُ،‏‏‏‏ فَقَالَ:‏‏‏‏ اغْسِلْنَهَا ثَلَاثًا أَوْ خَمْسًا أَوْ أَكْثَرَ مِنْ ذَلِكِ إِنْ رَأَيْتُنَّ ذَلِكِ بِمَاءٍ وَسِدْرٍ وَاجْعَلْنَ فِي الْآخِرَةِ كَافُورًا أَوْ شَيْئًا مِنْ كَافُورٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَإِذَا فَرَغْتُنَّ فَآذِنَّنِي، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَلَمَّا فَرَغْنَا آذَنَّاهُ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَأَعْطَانَا حَقْوَهُ،‏‏‏‏ وَقَالَ:‏‏‏‏ أَشْعِرْنَهَا إِيَّاهُ .

The Messenger of Allah entered upon us when his daughter died, and said: 'Wash her three times or five, or more if you think (that is needed), with water and lote leaves, and put some camphor in it the last time, and when you have finished call me.'
