حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَی بْنُ آدَمَ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا زُهَيْرٌ عَنْ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو جَعْفَرٍ أَنَّهُ کَانَ عِنْدَ جَابِرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ هُوَ وَأَبُوهُ وَعِنْدَهُ قَوْمٌ فَسَأَلُوهُ عَنْ الْغُسْلِ فَقَالَ يَکْفِيکَ صَاعٌ فَقَالَ رَجُلٌ مَا يَکْفِينِي فَقَالَ جَابِرٌ کَانَ يَکْفِي مَنْ هُوَ أَوْفَی مِنْکَ شَعَرًا وَخَيْرٌ مِنْکَ ثُمَّ أَمَّنَا فِي ثَوْبٍ
صحیح بخاری · Hadith 252
Narrated Abu Ja`far: While I and my father were with Jabir bin `Abdullah, some People asked him about taking a bath He replied, "A Sa` of water is sufficient for you." A man said, "A Sa` is not sufficient for me." Jabir said, "A Sa was sufficient for one who had more hair than you and was better than you (meaning the Prophet)." And then Jabir (put on) his garment and led the prayer.
