and put camphor in the last time, or a little camphor. And when you have finished, let me know.” When we had finished, we let him know, and he gave us his waist wrapper and said: “Put it next to her body.”
Narrated by al-Bukhaari (1195) and Muslim (939).
The daughter in question here was Zaynab, as is stated clearly in a report narrated by Muslim.
(b)
Attending their funerals and burying them.
If we want to discuss in detail everything that our Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) did as referred to above, it would take too long. The questioner may refer to books of Seerah (the Prophet’s biography) and commentaries on hadeeth, and find out for himself about these things and their importance in the life of the Muslim and how he should follow this example.
And Allaah knows best.

*- WHAT ISLAM SAYS -*
-
Islam is a religion of Mercy, Peace and Blessing. Its teachings emphasize kind hear tedness, help, sympathy, forgiveness, sacrifice, love and care.Qur’an, the Shari’ah and the life of our beloved Prophet (SAW) mirrors this attribute, and it should be reflected in the conduct of a Momin.Islam appreciates those who are kind to their fellow being,and dislikes them who are hard hearted, curt, and hypocrite.Recall that historical moment, when Prophet (SAW) entered Makkah as a conqueror. There was before him a multitude of surrendered enemies, former oppressors and persecutors, who had evicted the Muslims from their homes, deprived them of their belongings, humiliated and intimidated Prophet (SAW) hatched schemes for his murder and tortured and killed his companions. But Prophet (SAW) displayed his usual magnanimity, generosity, and kind heartedness by forgiving all of them and declaring general amnesty...Subhanallah. May Allah help us tailor our life according to the teachings of Islam. (Aameen)./-

Biography of the Prophet
3b] How the Prophet (peaceand blessings of Allaah be upon him) took care of his daughters when they were alive and until after they died
3b]
She said: There was something between me and him, and he got angry with me and went out; he did not take a napin my house. The Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said to someone, “Go and look where he is.” He came andsaid: O Messenger of Allaah, by Allaah, he is in the mosque, sleeping. TheMessenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) cameto him and he was lying down. His cloak had fallenfrom his back and he had gotten dusty. The Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) started wiping it from him, saying: “Get up, Abu’l-Turaab, get up Abu’l-Turaab.”
Narrated by al-Bukhaari (4300 and Muslim (2409).
9.
The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) felt sorry for his daughter who was absent, and he interceded for her husband who had been captured by the Muslims, and stipulated that he should send her toMadeenah.
All of that points to the kindness of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) towards his daughters, and that he was very fondof them; in addition to that he wished them well and wanted to save them from the environment of kufr lest they be tempted.He loved for his daughterswhat they loved for themselves of good, especially when it had to do with their husbands orchildren.
All of the above may be summed up in one saheehhadeeth:
It was narrated that ‘Aa’ishah said: When the people of Makkah sent a ransom for their prisoners, Zaynab sent some wealth as a ransom for Abu’l-Aas, among which she sent a necklace that had belonged to Khadeejah, and she had given it to her to wear when she married Abu’l-Aas. When the Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) saw it, he felt very sorry for her, and he said: “If you wish, you may release her prisoner and return what belongs to her?” They said: Yes. And the Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) made him promise to let Zaynab come to him. And the Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) sent Zayd ibn Haarithah and anAnsaari man and said: “Wait in Batn Ya’jaj (a place on the outskirts of Makkah) until Zaynab passes by you, then stay with her and bring her to me.” Narrated by Abu Dawood (2629) and classed as hasan by al-Albaani in Saheeh Abi Dawood.
Shaykh Muhammad Shams al-Haqq al-‘Azeemabaadi (may Allaah have mercy on him) said:
“He felt sorry for her” means, for Zaynab, because she was absent and was alone, and he remembered the time of Khadeejah and her companionship, because the necklace had belonged to her.
‘Awn al-Ma’bood al-‘Azeem (7/254).
10.
He took part in the ‘aqeeqah of his daughters’children.
It was narrated from Ibn ‘Abbaas (may Allaah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) offered ‘aqeeqah for al-Hasan and al-Husayn, a ram for each. Narrated by Abu Dawood (2841). According to a report narrated by al-Nasaa’i: two rams for each. Shaykhal-Albaani said: this is more sound.
11.
He checked on his daughters with their husbands, and advised them not to focus on the pleasures of this world.
It was narrated from ‘Ali (may Allaah be pleased with him) that Faatimah (may Allaah be pleased with her) complained about the pain caused to her hand by the mill, and some prisoners had been brought to the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him), so she went but did not find him, but she met ‘Aa’ishahand told her. When the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) came, ‘Aa’ishahtold him about Faatimah coming to her. The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) came to us, and we had gone to bed. We started to get up, but the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “Stay where you are.” Then he sat between us, until I could feel the coolness of his foot on my chest. Thenhe said: “Shall I not teach you something better than what you asked for? When you go to your bed,magnify Allaah thirty-fourtimes, glorify Him thirty-three times and praise Him thirty-three times. That is better for you thana servant.”
Narrated by al-Bukhaari (3502) and Muslim (2727).
12.
The Prophet’s care for his daughters continued evenafter they died. That is represented in the following examples:
(a)
His concern about their washing, and his giving one of his garments for shrouding one of them:
It was narrated that Umm‘Atiyyah al-Ansaariyyah (may Allaah be pleased with her) said: The Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) entered upon us when hisdaughter died, and said: “Wash her three times, or five, or more than that, if you see fit, :->

Biography of the Prophet
3a] How the Prophet (peaceand blessings of Allaah be upon him) took care of his daughters when they were alive and until after they died
3a]
and theybecame Muslim, and they migrated with him (peaceand blessings of Allaah be upon him).
Al-Rawd al-‘Unuf by al-Suhayli (2/157).
2 – He took care of them when they were sick, even at the most difficult times
When the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) wanted to go out to Badr, he ordered ‘Uthmaan ibn ‘Affaan (may Allaah be pleased with him) to stay with his wife Ruqayyah the daughter of the Messenger (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him), because she was sick.
It was narrated that Ibn ‘Umar (may Allaah be pleased with him) said: With regard to his being absent from Badr – i.e., ‘Uthmaan ibn ‘Affaan (may Allaah be pleased with him) – he was married to the daughter of the Messenger of Allaah(peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him), Ruqayyah, and she was sick, so the Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said to him: “You will have the rewardand the share (of booty) of a man who was present at Badr.” Narratedby al-Bukhaari (3495).
3 – He would welcome them warmly.
4 – He would confide his secrets to them.
5 –He would say things tomake them happy.
This is all summed up in one saheeh hadeeth:
It was narrated that ‘Aa’ishah the Mother of the Believers (may Allaah be pleased with her) said:
We wives of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) were with him, and not one of us was absent. Faatimah came walking, and her manner of walking was exactly like that of the Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him). When he saw her, he welcomed her and said: “Welcome to my daughter.” Then he seated her on his right or his left. He whispered to her and she wept bitterly, and when he saw that shewas so upset, he whispered to her again and she smiled. I said to her: The Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) singled you out from amongst us to whisper to, then you wept? When the Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) left, I asked her: What did the Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) say to you? She said: I will notdisclose the secret of the Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him). When the Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) died, I said: I adjure you by the right I have over you, tell me what the Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said to you. She said: Now, yes (I will tell you). When he whispered to me the first time, he told me: “Jibreel used to review the Qur’aan with me only once every year, but now he has reviewed it with him twice, and I think that my death is near, so fear Allaah and be patient,and I will be a fitting forerunner for you.” She said: So I wept, as you saw. When he saw my grief, he whispered to me a second time, and said: “O Faatimah, does it not please you to be the leader of the believing women, or the leader of the women of this ummah?” She said: So I smiled as you saw me.
Narrated by al-Bukhaari (5928) and Muslim (2450).
6.
Part of the great care thathe (peace and blessings ofAllaah be upon him) showed in raising his daughters was that he hastened to arrange their marriages to those whomhe thought were of good character or strong religious commitment. He married Zaynab (may Allaah be pleased with her) to Abu’l-‘Aas ibn al-Rabee’ al-Qurashi (may Allaah be pleased with him), who was the son of her maternal aunt Haalah bint Khuwaylid, and he married Ruqayyah to ‘Uthmaan ibn ‘Affaan (may Allaah be pleased with him). When Ruqayyah died, he gave Umm Kulthoom to him in marriage.
And he married Faatimah (may Allaah be pleased with her) to ‘Ali ibn Abi Taalib (may Allaah be pleased with him).
7.
He enjoined them to observe hijab and wear covering clothing.
That was in response to the command of Allaah (interpretation of the meaning):
“O Prophet! Tell your wives and your daughtersand the women of the believers to draw their cloaks (veils) all over theirbodies (i.e. screen themselves completely except the eyes or one eye to see the way). That will be better, that they should be known (as free respectable women) so asnot to be annoyed. And Allaah is Ever Oft‑Forgiving, Most Merciful”
[al-Ahzaab 33:59]
8.
He solved problems between them and their husbands, and he intervened to bring abouta reconciliation.
It was narrated that Sahl ibn Sa’d said: The Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) cameto the house of Faatimah and he did not find ‘Ali in the house. He said: “Where is the son of your uncle?” She said: There was something between me and him, and he got angry with me and went out; he did not take a napin my house. :->

Biography of the Prophet
3] How the Prophet (peaceand blessings of Allaah be upon him) took care of his daughters when they were alive and until after they died
3]
Can you please advise me how did the PROPHET treat his daughters when there were in the age of 0to 17 years. Is there anything then the obvious that as a fathers is not allowed to bahave with their daughter. Makedua for me and my family.
Praise be to Allaah.
Firstly:
It is very difficult to know how the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) treated his daughters during this period of their lives, because the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) married Khadeejah (may Allaah be pleased with her) when he was 25 years old, and the Revelation came to him when he was 40, then Khadeejah (may Allaah be pleased with her) died approximately ten years after his mission began.
The daughters of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) – Zaynab, Ruqayyah, Umm Kulthoom and Faatimah (may Allaah be pleased with them) – were all born to Khadeejah, which means that most of them reached this age (17) in Makkah. Faatimah (may Allaah be pleased with her) was the youngest of them, and according to what Ibn ‘Abd al-Barr (may Allaah have mercy on him) thought most likely in al-Isti’aab (4/178), she was born shortly before his mission began. The Muslims in Makkah were a persecuted minority and at that time they were not able to narrate any details of the life of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him), especially since he was married onlyto Khadeejah (may Allaah be pleased with her) at that point, and she died a few years before the Hijrah.
But we can speak about how the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) treated his daughters in general during this stage of their lives and others.
Secondly:
There is no doubt that theProphet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) is the best example for the Muslims, and his life (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) is the best example of how rulers should deal with their people, how husbands should deal with their wives, how fathers shoulddeal with their children and grandchildren, how daa’iyahs should deal with those whom they are calling to Islam, how scholars should deal with seekers of knowledge, how commanders should deal with their troops, and so on in all aspects of religious and worldly affairs. Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning):
“Indeed in the Messenger of Allaah (Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم) you have a good example to follow for him who hopes for (the Meeting with) Allaah and the Last Day, and remembers Allaah much”
[al-Ahzaab 33:21]
Ibn Katheer (may Allaah have mercy on him) said:
This verse represents the important principle of following the example of the Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) in word and deed and attitude. Hence Allaah enjoined the people to follow the example of theProphet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) on the day of al-Ahzaab, in patience, forbearance, steadfastness, striving hard and waiting for relieffrom his Lord, may He be glorified and exalted. May blessings and peace be upon him always, until Judgement Day.
Tafseer al-Qur’aan il-‘Azeem (6/391).
With regard to the way inwhich the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) dealt with his daughters, he was very compassionate and wise. He had four daughters, all of whom were born to Khadeejah (may Allaah be pleased with her). They were: Zaynab, Ruqayyah, Umm Kulthoom and Faatimah. All of them lived until Islam came, and they became Muslim, and all of them died before him except for Faatimah, who lived for six months after he died.
Compassion and wisdom can be seen in many aspects of the way in which the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) treated them. For example:
1 – He called them to Islam in the best manner, out of compassion towards them.
It was narrated that Abu Hurayrah (may Allaah be pleased with him) said: When the words “And warn your tribe (O Muhammad) of near kindred” [al-Shu’ara’ 26:214] were revealed to him, the Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “O peopleof Quraysh (or words to that effect)! Ransom yourselves, I cannot avail you anything before Allaah. O Banu ‘Abd Manaaf, I cannot avail youanything before Allaah. O ‘Abbaas ibn ‘Abd al-Muttalib, I cannot avail you anything before Allaah. O Safiyah, (paternal) aunt of the Messenger of Allaah, I cannot avail you anythingbefore Allaah. O Faatimah,daughter of the Messenger of Allaah, ask me for whatever you want of my wealth, I cannot avail you anythingbefore Allaah.” Narrated by al-Bukhaari (2602) andMuslim (206).
Ibn Ishaaq said: As for his daughters, they all lived until Islam came, and theybecame Muslim, :->
