Hadith 26677

حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ ، قَالَ : حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ الثَّوْرِيُّ ، عَنْ أَيُّوبَ بْنِ مُوسَى ، عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ الْمَقْبُرِيِّ ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ رَافِعٍ ، عَنْ أُمِّ سَلَمَةَ ، قَالَتْ : قُلْتُ : يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ، إِنِّي امْرَأَةٌ أَشُدُّ ضَفْرَ رَأْسِي ، أَفَأَنْقُضُهُ عِنْدَ الْغُسْلِ مِنَ الْجَنَابَةِ ؟ فَقَالَ : " إِنَّمَا يَكْفِيكِ ثَلَاثُ حَفَنَاتٍ تَصُبِّينَهَا عَلَى رَأْسِكِ " .
It is narrated from Hazrat Umm Salamah (may Allah be pleased with her) that she said to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), "O Messenger of Allah, I am a woman whose hair is long and I have to tie it in plaits (so is it necessary to undo them when performing ghusl?)" The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "It is sufficient for you to pour water over it three times thoroughly."
