Arabic (Original)
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 مِنْ الْجَنَابَةِ فَقَالَ إِنَّمَا يَكْفِيكِ ثَلَاثُ حَفَنَاتٍ تَصُبِّينَهَا عَلَى رَأْسِكِ.
English Translation
Yazid told us: Sufyan al-Thawri told us, from Ayyub b. Musa, from Sa'id b. Abi Sa'id al-Maqburi, from Abdullah b. Rafi', from Umm Salamah, who said: I said, "O Messenger of Allah, I am a woman who braids her hair tightly - should I undo it for the ritual bath after major impurity?" He said: "It is enough for you to pour three handfuls of water over your head."
