وَقَالَتْ : إِنَّهُ قَالَ : اغْسِلْنَهَا ثَلَاثًا , أَوْ خَمْسًا , أَوْ سَبْعًا , أَوْ أَكْثَرَ مِنْ ذَلِكَ إِنْ رَأَيْتُنَّ ، قَالَتْ حَفْصَةُ : قَالَتْ أُمُّ عَطِيَّةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهَا : وَجَعَلْنَا رَأْسَهَا ثَلَاثَةَ قُرُونٍ .
And Um 'Atiyya (in another narration) added, "The Prophet said, 'Wash her three, five or seven times or more, if you think it necessary.' " Hafsa said that Um 'Atiyya had also said, "We entwined her hair into three braids."
