Original Arabic

حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ آدَمَ، حَدَّثَنَا فُضَيْلٌ يَعْنِي ابْنَ مَرْزُوقٍ، عَنْ عَطِيَّةَ، عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيِّ، أَنَّ رَجُلًا سَأَلَهُ عَنْ غَسْلِ الرَّأْسِ،، ، فَقَالَ: يَكْفِيكَ ثَلَاثُ حَفَنَاتٍ، أَوْ ثَلَاثُ أَكُفٍّ، ثُمَّ جَمَعَ يَدَيْهِ ثُمَّ قَالَ: يَا أَبَا سَعِيدٍ، إِنِّي رَجُلٌ كَثِيرُ الشَّعْرِ؟ قَالَ: " فَإِنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ كَانَ أَكْثَرَ شَعْرًا مِنْكَ وَأَطْيَبَ " (١)،

A person asked Abu Saeed Khudri (may Allah be pleased with him) about the ritual bath (ghusl) after sexual impurity. He replied: Pour water over the body three times. The person said: I have a lot of hair on my head. Abu Saeed (may Allah be pleased with him) said: The Prophet (ﷺ) had more and more fragrant hair than you, (yet he would still pour water over his body three times).
