أَخْبَرَنَا سُلَيْمَانُ بْنُ مَنْصُورٍ عَنْ سُفْيَانَ عَنْ أَيُّوبِ بْنِ مُوسَى عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ رَافِعٍ
عَنْ أُمِّ سَلَمَةَ زَوْجِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَتْ قُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ إِنِّي امْرَأَةٌ شَدِيدَةُ ضَفْرِ رَأْسِي أَفَأَنْقُضُهُ عِنْدَ غَسْلِهِا مِنَ الْجَنَابَةِ؟ قَالَ «إِنَّمَا يَكْفِيكِ أَنْ تَحْفِنِي عَلَى رَأْسِكِ ثَلَاثَ حَفَنَاتٍ مِنْ مَاءٍ ثُمَّ تُفِيضِي عَلَى جَسَدِكِ»

✧ Umm Salamah, the wife of the Prophet ﷺ, said: I said, “O Messenger of Allah, I am a woman who braids my hair tightly. Should I undo it when washing from janabah?” He said, “It is enough for you to pour three handfuls of water on your head, then pour water over your body.”
