Bayhaqi 4109 — Explanation that sprinkling is optional

أنبأ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللهِ الْحَافِظُ، وَأَبُو سَعِيدِ بْنُ أَبِي عَمْرٍو قَالَا: ثنا أَبُو الْعَبَّاسِ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَعْقُوبَ ثنا هَارُونُ بْنُ سُلَيْمَانَ، ثنا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ مَهْدِيٍّ، ثنا بَكَّارُ بْنُ يَحْيَى، عَنْ جَدَّتِهِ، قَالَتْ: دَخَلْتُ عَلَى أُمِّ سَلَمَةَ فَسَأَلَتْهَا امْرَأَةٌ مِنْ قُرَيْشٍ عَنِ الصَّلَاةِ فِي ثَوْبِ الْحَائِضِ فَقَالَتْ أُمُّ سَلَمَةَ: " قَدْ كَانَ يُصِيبُنَا الْحَيْضُ عَلَى عَهْدِ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَتَلْبَثُ إِحْدَانَا أَيَّامَ حَيْضَتِهَا، ثُمَّ تَطْهُرُ فَتَنْظُرُ الثَّوْبَ الَّذِي كَانَتْ تَبِيتُ فِيهِ فَإِنْ أَصَابَهُ دَمٌ غَسَلْنَاهُ وَصَلَّيْنَا فِيهِ وَإِنْ لَمْ يَكُنْ أَصَابَهُ شَيْءٌ تَرَكْنَاهُ وَلَمْ يَمْنَعْنَا ذَلِكَ أَنْ نُصَلِّيَ فِيهِ وَأَمَّا الْمُمْتَشِطَةُ فَكَانَتْ إِحْدَانَا تَكُونُ مُمْتَشِطَةً فَإِذَا اغْتَسَلَتْ لَمْ تَنْقُضْ ذَلِكَ وَلَكِنَّهَا تَحْفِنُ عَلَى رَأْسِهَا ثَلَاثَ حَفَنَاتٍ فَإِذَا رَأَتِ الْبَلَلَ عَلَى أُصُولِ الشَّعْرِ دَلَكَتْهُ، ثُمَّ أَفَاضَتْ عَلَى سَائِرِ جَسَدِهَا ".
The grandmother of Bakkar bin Yahya said: I went to Sayyidah Umm Salamah (may Allah be pleased with her), and a woman of Quraysh asked Sayyidah Umm Salamah (may Allah be pleased with her) a question. She (may Allah be pleased with her) replied: In the time of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), when one of us menstruated, she would spend the days of her menstruation, and when she became pure she would look at her clothes; if blood had got on them she would wash them and pray, and if there was no blood on the clothes, nothing would prevent us from praying. And when we took a ritual bath, we did not undo our hair; we would only pour three handfuls of water on our heads, and when we felt the wetness at the roots of the hair we would rub it, then pour water over the whole body.
