bayhaqi:857Muḥammad b. ʿAbdullāh al-Ḥāfiẓ > Abū al-ʿAbbās Muḥammad b. Yaʿqūb > Muḥammad b. Isḥāq > Jaʿfar b. ʿAwn > Usāmah b. Zayd > Saʿīd b. Abū Saʿīd al-Maqburī > Um Salamah

[Machine] A woman from the Ansar came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ while I was with him and said, "Verily, I am a woman with very tight curly hair. How should I wash myself after sexual impurity (janabah)?" He said, "Pour three handfuls of water over your head, then press out the remnants of each handful, and then pour water over your body." Usamah bin Zaid narrated that in the narration of Ibn Wahb, it was said that Sa`id heard it from Umm Salamah, and that was because of her tight hair.  

البيهقي:٨٥٧وَأَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللهِ الْحَافِظُ ثنا أَبُو الْعَبَّاسِ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَعْقُوبَ ثنا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ إِسْحَاقَ ثنا جَعْفَرُ بْنُ عَوْنٍ أنا أُسَامَةُ بْنُ زَيْدٍ عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ الْمَقْبُرِيُّ عَنْ أُمِّ سَلَمَةَ قَالَتْ

جَاءَتِ امْرَأَةٌ مِنَ الْأَنْصَارِ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ وَأَنَا عِنْدَهُ فَقَالَتْ إِنِّي امْرَأَةٌ أَشَدُّ ضَفْرَ رَأْسِي فَكَيْفَ أَصْنَعُ حِينَ أَغْتَسِلُ مِنَ الْجَنَابَةِ؟ فَقَالَ احْفِنِي عَلَى رَأْسِكِ ثَلَاثَ حَفَنَاتٍ ثُمَّ اغْمِزِي أَثَرَ كُلِّ حَفْنَةٍ وَقَصَّرَ بِإِسْنَادِهِ أُسَامَةُ بْنُ زَيْدٍ فِي رِوَايَةِ ابْنُ وَهْبٍ عَنْهُ أَنَّ سَعِيدًا سَمِعَهُ مِنْ أُمِّ سَلَمَةَ وَذَلِكَ

[Machine] He heard Umm Salamah, the wife of the Prophet ﷺ, say, "A woman came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and said, 'O Messenger of Allah, I am a woman with tightly braided hair, so what should I do when I want to perform ghusl?' He said, 'Unbraid your hair on your head three times, then pour water over it with each handful. Then, run your fingers through your hair after each handful of water. This will be sufficient for you.' The narration of Ayub ibn Musa is more authentic than the narration of Usamah ibn Zaid, and in its chain of narration is what is not in the chain of narration of Usamah ibn Zaid."
