وَقَالَتْ: إِنَّهُ قَالَ: اغْسِلْنَهَا ثَلَاثًا، أَوْ خَمْسًا، أَوْ سَبْعًا، أَوْ أَكْثَرَ مِنْ ذَلِكَ إِنْ رَأَيْتُنَّ، قَالَتْ حَفْصَةُ: قَالَتْ أُمُّ عَطِيَّةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهَا: وَجَعَلْنَا رَأْسَهَا ثَلَاثَةَ قُرُونٍ.
صحیح بخاری · Hadith 1259
And Um 'Atiyya (in another narration) added, "The Prophet said, 'Wash her three, five or seven times or more, if you think it necessary.' " Hafsa said that Um 'Atiyya had also said, "We entwined her hair into three braids."
