Arabic (Original)
حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ مَهْدِيٍّ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا زَائِدَةُ عَنْ صَدَقَةَ رَجُلٍ مِنْ أَهْلِ الْكُوفَةِ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا جُمَيْعُ بْنُ عُمَيْرٍ أَحَدُ بَنِي تَيْمِ اللَّهِ ابْنِ ثَعْلَبَةَ قَالَ دَخَلْتُ مَعَ أُمِّي وَخَالَتِي عَلَى عَائِشَةَ فَسَأَلَتْ إِحْدَاهُمَا كَيْفَ كُنْتُنَّ تَصْنَعْنَ عِنْدَ الْغُسْلِ فَقَالَتْ عَائِشَةُ كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَتَوَضَّأُ وُضُوءَهُ لِلصَّلَاةِ ثُمَّ يُفِيضُ عَلَى رَأْسِهِ ثَلَاثَ مَرَّاتٍ وَنَحْنُ نُفِيضُ عَلَى رُءُوسِنَا خَمْسًا مِنْ أَجْلِ الضَّفْرِ.
English Translation
Abd al-Rahman ibn Mahdi narrated to us, he said: Za'idah narrated to us from Sadaqah, a man from the people of Kufa, who said: Jumay' ibn Umayr, one of the tribe of Taym Allah ibn Tha'labah, narrated to us, he said: I entered with my mother and my aunt upon Aisha, and one of them asked, 'How did you women use to do at the time of washing?' Aisha said: 'The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, used to perform his ablution as for prayer, then pour water over his head three times, while we pour over our heads five times because of the braids.'
