Sunan Nasai 1884 — Undoing the Hair of the Deceased
أَخْبَرَنَا يُوسُفُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ ، قَالَ : حَدَّثَنَا حَجَّاجٌ ، عَنِ ابْنِ جُرَيْجٍ ، قَالَ أَيُّوبُ : سَمِعْتُ حَفْصَةَ ، تَقُولُ : حَدَّثَتْنَا أُمُّ عَطِيَّةَ ، " أَنَّهُنَّ جَعَلْنَ رَأْسَ ابْنَةَ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ثَلَاثَةَ قُرُونٍ قُلْتُ : نَقَضْنَهُ وَجَعَلْنَهُ ثَلَاثَةَ قُرُونٍ ؟ قَالَتْ : نَعَمْ " .
´It was narrated from Ayyub:` "I heard Hafsah saying: 'Umm 'Atiyyah said: They tied the hair of the daughter of the Prophet in three braids."' 'I said: Did they undo it, then make three braids? She said: 'Yes."'
Explanation & Benefits
Hafiz Muhammad Ameen
1884. Commentary: The Hanafis are of the opinion that instead of making braids (mandhiyaan), the hair should be divided into two parts, and then both should be placed on the chest, one on the right and one on the left. However, in some hadiths, mention is made of three braids.
