Arabic hadith text
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْمُثَنَّى، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الأَعْلَى، حَدَّثَنَا هِشَامٌ، عَنْ حَفْصَةَ بِنْتِ سِيرِينَ، عَنْ أُمِّ عَطِيَّةَ، قَالَتْ وَضَفَّرْنَا رَأْسَهَا ثَلاَثَةَ قُرُونٍ ثُمَّ أَلْقَيْنَاهَا خَلْفَهَا مُقَدَّمَ رَأْسِهَا وَقَرْنَيْهَا .
Translation
A report from Umm Atiyyah through Hafsah says: We braided her hair into three plaits, then placed them behind her, one at the front of the head and two at its sides.
