“The Messenger of
Allah (ﷺ) entered upon us when we were washing his daughter Umm
Kulthum. He said: ‘Wash her three or five times, or more than that
if
you think you need to, with water and lote leaves, and put camphor
or
a little camphor in (the water) for the last washing. When you
have
finished, call for me.’ When we finished, we called him, and
he gave
his waist-wrapper to us and said: ‘Shroud her with it.’”
Sunan Ibn Majah Book 6, Hadith 26
