1459. It was narrated from Ayyub who said: "Hafsah narrated to me, from Umm 'Atiyyah" and it is similar to the Hadith of Muhammad. And in the narration of Hafsah it says: "Wash her an odd number of times." And: "Wash her three or five times." And "Start on her right, with the places washed in ablution." And it says that Umm 'Atiyyah said: "And we combed her hair into three braids." (Sahih)
1459 - حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْوَهَّابِ الثَّقَفِيُّ، عَنْ أَيُّوبَ قَالَ: حَدَّثَتْنِي حَفْصَةُ، عَنْ أُمِّ عَطِيَّةَ، بِمِثْلِ حَدِيثِ مُحَمَّدٍ، وَكَانَ فِي حَدِيثِ حَفْصَةَ «اغْسِلْنَهَا وِتْرًا» وَكَانَ فِيهِ «اغْسِلْنَهَا ثَلَاثًا، أَوْ خَمْسًا» وَكَانَ فِيهِ «ابْدَءُوا بِمَيَامِنِهَا، وَمَوَاضِعِ الْوُضُوءِ مِنْهَا» وَكَانَ فِيهِ: أَنَّ أُمَّ عَطِيَّةَ قَالَتْ: «وَمَشَطْنَاهَا ثَلَاثَةَ قُرُونٍ»

When washing the body, the right side should be washed first and then the left side; the limbs of the body washed for ablution should be washed before commencing to wash the rest of the body. The right hand, right forearm and right foot have priority over the left ones. The hair of a female may be combed and should be divided into three plaits, and arranged behind her head.
