Sunan Abu Dawud
Abu DawudHadith #4115: Daif

حَدَّثَنَا زُهَيْرُ بْنُ حَرْبٍ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ، ح وَحَدَّثَنَا مُسَدَّدٌ، حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى، عَنْ سُفْيَانَ، عَنْ حَبِيبِ بْنِ أَبِي ثَابِتٍ، عَنْ وَهْبٍ، مَوْلَى أَبِي أَحْمَدَ عَنْ أُمِّ سَلَمَةَ، أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صلى الله عليه وسلم دَخَلَ عَلَيْهَا وَهِيَ تَخْتَمِرُ فَقَالَ ‏"‏ لَيَّةً لاَ لَيَّتَيْنِ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ قَالَ أَبُو دَاوُدَ مَعْنَى قَوْلِهِ ‏"‏ لَيَّةً لاَ لَيَّتَيْنِ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ يَقُولُ لاَ تَعْتَمَّ مِثْلَ الرَّجُلِ لاَ تُكَرِّرْهُ طَاقًا أَوْ طَاقَيْنِ ‏.‏

English Meaning

Narrated Umm Salamah, Ummul Mu'minin: The Prophet (ﷺ) came to visit her when she was veiled, and said: use one fold and not two. Abu Dawud said: "Use one fold and not two" means: "Do not fold it like the turban of a man. Do not double it up manifolds
