Narrated Aishah, Ummul Muminin: Jumay ibn Umayr, one of the sons of Banu Taym Allah ibn Thalabah, said: Accompanied by my mother and aunt I entered upon Aishah. One of them asked her: How did you do while taking a bath? Aishah replied: The Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم performed ablution (in the beginning) as he did for prayer. He then poured (water) upon his head three times. But we poured water upon our heads five times due to plaits.
