The Book of Friday Prayer, the Two Festivals, the Prayer for Rain, the Eclipse Prayer, and Funerals-08a
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The reader: And Qutaybah ibn Sa'id narrated to us, and Hammad narrated to us from Ayyub from Hafsah from Umm Atiyyah to the same effect, except that he said:
The Shaykh : In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.
This narration contains an addition to what came before, which is the mention of seven, because in the first narration, Yazid ibn Zuray' only mentioned five, whereas this one mentions seven and says: or more than that.
It also contains her statement: we made her head into three braids, meaning that they braided her head into three braids: the right part, the left part, and the middle, and they let it hang behind her, i.e., behind her back. This indicates that it is a recommended practice (sunnah) because they did it during the time of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), and they mentioned it as a proof.
And his saying: that, it seems our reader repeated it once or twice, I do not know if it was due to difficulty? And it is with a kasrah (short i) even in the first context, the context of Yazid ibn Zuray'. And that is because the kaf in the demonstrative pronoun has three dialects, the most eloquent of which is: that it be according to the person addressed, this is the most eloquent, then with a kasrah for the feminine and a fathah (short a) for the masculine, in the singular, then in the singular with a fathah for everyone addressed, so for a group of women we say: that of yours (plural feminine), if we are addressing a group of women, as Allah the Exalted said:[Yusuf 12:32] And if we are addressing two people: we say: that of yours (dual), as Yusuf said to his two companions in prison: , and if we are addressing one woman we say: that of yours (singular feminine), and if we are addressing one man we say: that (singular masculine), and if we are addressing a group of men we say: that of yours (plural masculine), this is the most eloquent.
And it is permissible to use the masculine form absolutely, and it is considered by gender, if you say "that" even if it is for a group of women or a group of men, considering "that" as which of you is being addressed.
And the third: breaking the kaf (kasrah) for women absolutely, and opening it (fathah) for men absolutely, yes.
Three, or five, or seven, or more than that, if you see fit. And Hafsah narrated from Umm Atiyyah: and we made her head into three braids.
ثَلَاثًا أَوْ خَمْسًا أَوْ سَبْعًا، أَوْ أَكْثَرَ مِنْ ذَلِكِ، إِنْ رَأَيْتُنَّ ذَلِكِ فَقَالَتْ حَفْصَةُ، عَنْ أُمِّ عَطِيَّةَ: وَجَعَلْنَا رَأْسَهَا ثَلَاثَةَ قُرُونٍThe Shaykh : In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.

She said, "That is the one about whom you blamed me.
قالت فذلكنَّ الذي لُمْتُنَّني فيهThat is what my Lord taught me.
ذلكما مما علّمني ربيAnd it is permissible to use the masculine form absolutely, and it is considered by gender, if you say "that" even if it is for a group of women or a group of men, considering "that" as which of you is being addressed.
