Arabic hadith text

أَخْبَرَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادٌ، عَنْ أَيُّوبَ، عَنْ حَفْصَةَ، عَنْ أُمِّ عَطِيَّةَ، نَحْوَهُ غَيْرَ أَنَّهُ قَالَ ‏"‏ ثَلاَثًا أَوْ خَمْسًا أَوْ سَبْعًا أَوْ أَكْثَرَ مِنْ ذَلِكِ إِنْ رَأَيْتُنَّ ذَلِكِ ‏"‏ ‏.‏

Translation

Qutaybah narrated to us, saying: Hammad narrated to us, from Ayyub, from Hafsah, from Umm ‘Atiyyah, with a report similar to the preceding one, except that he said: ‘Three, five, or seven times, or more than that if you think it appropriate.’
