It was
narrated from Ayyub
“Hafsah narrated to me, from Umm
‘Atiyyah” and it is similar to the Hadith of Muhammad. And in the
narration of Hafsah it says: “Wash her an odd number of times.”
And:
“Wash her face three or five times.” And “Start on her
right, with the
places washed in ablution.” And it says that Umm
‘Atiyyah said: “And
we combed her hair into three braids.”
