وَحَدَّثَنِي عُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مُعَاذٍ الْعَنْبَرِيُّ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا أَبِي قَالَ، حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، عَنْ أَبِي بَكْرِ بْنِ حَفْصٍ، عَنْ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ، قَالَ دَخَلْتُ عَلَى عَائِشَةَ أَنَا وَأَخُوهَا، مِنَ الرَّضَاعَةِ فَسَأَلَهَا عَنْ غُسْلِ النَّبِيِّ، صلى الله عليه وسلم مِنَ الْجَنَابَةِ فَدَعَتْ بِإِنَاءٍ قَدْرِ الصَّاعِ فَاغْتَسَلَتْ وَبَيْنَنَا وَبَيْنَهَا سِتْرٌ وَأَفْرَغَتْ عَلَى رَأْسِهَا ثَلاَثًا . قَالَ وَكَانَ أَزْوَاجُ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم يَأْخُذْنَ مِنْ رُءُوسِهِنَّ حَتَّى تَكُونَ كَالْوَفْرَةِ .
Abu Salamah bin 'Abdur-Rahman Narrated from:
I along with the foster brother of 'A'isha went to her and he asked about the bath of the Apostle (ﷺ) because of sexual intercourse. She called for a vessel equal to a Sa' and she took a bath. and there was a curtain between us and her. She poured water on her head thrice and he (Abu Salama) said: The wives of the Apostle (ﷺ) collected hair on their heads and these lopped up to ears (and did rot go beyond that).
[1] In An-Nawawî's commentary on Muslim, Al-Qâdî 'Iyâd is quoted as saying: "This Hadîth appears to mean that they saw only her head and the upper part of her body as she demonstrated Ghusl , which is only permissible for Mahram to see. One of them, 'Abdullâh bin Yazîd, was her brother through breastfeeding, and the other one, Abû Salamah, was her sister's son through breastfeeding. He was breastfed by Umm Kulthûm, the daughter of Abû Bakr, both of them were Mahram to her. She set up the screen so that the lower part of her body could not be seen."Reference : Sahih Muslim 320In-book reference : Book 3, Hadith 50USC-MSA web (English) reference : Book 3, Hadith 626
