Yahya related to me from Malik from Abdullah ibn Abi Bakr that
Asma bint Umays washed Abu Bakr as-Siddiq when he died. Then she went
out and asked some of the muhajirun who were there, "I am fasting and
this is an extremely cold day. Do I have to do ghusl?" They said,
"No."

Yahya related to me from Malik from Ayyub ibn Abi Tamima as-
Sakhtayani from Muhammad ibn Sirin that Umm Atiyya al-Ansariyya said,
"The Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, came
to us when his daughter died and said, 'Wash her three times, or five,
or more than that if you think it necessary, with water and lotus
leaves, and at the end put on some camphor, or a little camphor, and
when you have finished let me know.' When we finished we told him, and
he gave us his waist-wrapper and said, 'Shroud her with this.' "

Yahya related to me from Malik that he had heard people of
knowledge say, "When a woman dies and there are no women with her to
wash her and no man who has the right by blood ties to take charge of
that for her and no husband to take charge of it for her, she should
be purified by tayammum ,that is, by wiping her face and hands with
earth."
