Abū Bakr (may Allāh be pleased with him) ordered that his wife Asmā Bint ‘Umays (may Allāh be pleased with him) wash him and that his son ‘Abd Al Raḥmān (may Allāh be pleased with him) should help her. He instructed that he should be buried next to Allāh’s Messenger (may Allāh praise him and Peace be upon him). [Siyar Al Khulafā Al Rāshidīn (Biographies of the Rightly Guided Caliphs) p.38]
