Ayyub said that Hafsah also narrated to me like the hadith of Muhammad bin Sirin. In Hafsah’s narration, it was mentioned to wash an odd number of times, and there was this detail: three, five, or seven times (to wash), and it was also stated to begin washing the body from the right side and from the limbs of ablution. It was also in this narration that Umm ‘Atiyyah (may Allah be pleased with her) said: We combed her hair and divided it into three braids.

Narrated Um 'Atiyya: Allah's Apostle , concerning his (dead) daughter's bath, said, "Start with the right side, and the parts which are washed in ablution."
