641 - حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ وَعَلِيُّ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ، قَالَا: حَدَّثَنَا وَكِيعٌ، عَنْ هِشَامِ بْنِ عُرْوَةَ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ لَهَا، وَكَانَتْ حَائِضًا: «انْقُضِي شَعْرَكِ، وَاغْتَسِلِي» قَالَ: عَلِيٌّ فِي حَدِيثِهِ: «انْقُضِي رَأْسَكِ»

'Undo your head' means: Undo the braids of your hair or plaits and washyour head. The ruling does not apply to a bath from sexual impurity.(Compare previous Ahâdîth 603 & 604).
