Arabic hadith text

أَخْبَرَنَا نَصْرُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الأَعْلَى، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا مَعْمَرٌ، عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ، عَنْ عُرْوَةَ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ، أَنَّهَا كَانَتْ تُرَجِّلُ رَأْسَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم وَهِيَ حَائِضٌ وَهُوَ مُعْتَكِفٌ فَيُنَاوِلُهَا رَأْسَهُ وَهِيَ فِي حُجْرَتِهَا ‏.‏

Translation

Nasr ibn 'Ali informed us: 'Abd al-A'la narrated to us: Ma'mar narrated to us, from al-Zuhri, from 'Urwah, from 'A'ishah, that she used to comb the Messenger of Allah's (ﷺ) hair while she was menstruating and he was in retreat for worship (i'tikaf). He would bring his head to her while she was in her room.
