Musnad of Umm Salamah, wife of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him)
Musnad Abi Ya'la 6957 — she said to the Prophet ﷺ: I am a woman
حَدَّثَنَا زُهَيْرٌ ، حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ عُيَيْنَةَ ، عَنْ أَيُّوبَ بْنِ مُوسَى ، عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ رَافِعٍ ، عَنْ أُمِّ سَلَمَةَ ، أَنَّهَا قَالَتْ لِلنَّبِيِّ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - : إِنِّي امْرَأَةٌ أَشُدُّ ضَفْرَ رَأْسِي ، أَفَأَحُلُّهُ لِغُسْلِ الْجَنَابَةِ ؟ قَالَ : إِنَّمَا يَكْفِيكِ أَنْ تَحْثِي عَلَيْهِ ثَلَاثَ حَثَيَاتٍ مِنْ مَاءٍ ، ثُمَّ تُفِيضِي عَلَيْهِ ، فَإِذَا أَنْتِ قَدْ طَهُرْتِ .
It is narrated from Sayyidah Umm Salamah (may Allah be pleased with her) that she said to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him): "I am a woman who braids the hair of my head very tightly; should I undo it for the ritual bath (ghusl) after major impurity (janabah)?" At this the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "It is enough for you to pour three handfuls of water over your head, then pour water over your whole body, and in this way you will be purified."
