اُردوEn
عَنْ قَتَادَةَ قَالَ أَخَذَ ابْنُ سِيرِينَ غُسْلَهُ عَنْ أُمِّ عَطِيَّةَ قَالَتْ: غَسَّلْنَا ابْنَةَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَأَمَرَنَا أَنْ نَغْسِلَهَا بِالسِّدْرِ ثَلَاثًا فَإِنْ أَنْجَزْتْ، وَإِلَّا فَخَمْسًا، فَإِنْ أَنْجَزْتْ وَإِلَّا فَأَكْثَرَ مِنْ ذَلِكَ، قَالَتْ: فَرَأَيْنَا أَنَّ أَكْثَرَ مِنْ ذَلِكَ سَبْعٌ
Qatadah says: Ibn Sirin learned the method of bathing from Sayyidah Umm ‘Atiyyah (may Allah be pleased with her). She says: We intended to bathe the daughter of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), and he (peace and blessings be upon him) instructed us to bathe her three times with water mixed with lote tree leaves. If cleanliness is achieved, then fine; otherwise, bathe her five times. If cleanliness is achieved, then fine; otherwise, bathe her more times. Sayyidah Umm ‘Atiyyah (may Allah be pleased with her) says: We think that by more than five times, seven times is meant.
