حَدَّثَنَا يَعْقُوبُ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبِي، عَنِ ابْنِ إِسْحَاقَ، حَدَّثَنِي بَشِيرُ (٢) بْنُ أَبِي بَشِيرٍ، مَوْلَى آلِ الزُّبَيْرِ، قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ الْحَسَنَ بْنَ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَلِيِّ بْنِ أَبِي طَالِبٍ، يَسْأَلُ جَابِرَ بْنَ عَبْدِ اللهِ الْأَنْصَارِيَّ أَخَا بَنِي سَلِمَةَ عَنِ الْغُسْلِ مِنَ الْجَنَابَةِ، فَقَالَ جَابِرٌ: " كَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَغْرِفُ عَلَى رَأْسِهِ ثَلَاثَ غَرَفَاتٍ بِيَدَيْهِ، ثُمَّ يُفِيضُ الْمَاءَ عَلَى جِلْدِهِ " قَالَ: فَقَالَ لَهُ الْحَسَنُ: إِنَّ شَعْرَ رَأْسِي كَثِيرٌ، وَأَخْشَى أَنْ لَا تَغْسِلَهُ ثَلَاثُ غَرَفَاتٍ بِيَدَيَّ. فَقَالَ لَهُ جَابِرٌ: رَأْسُ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ كَانَ أَكْثَرَ، وَأَطْيَبَ مِنْ رَأْسِكَ (٣)، ،

English translation

Once, Hasan bin Muhammad asked Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him) about the ritual bath (ghusl): He replied that the Prophet (ﷺ) would pour water over his head with his hands three times, then pour water over the rest of his body. He (Hasan) said, "But my hair is very long?" Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him) replied that the Prophet (ﷺ) had more hair on his blessed head than you in terms of quantity, and in terms of fragrance, his hair was the best of all.
