أَخْبَرَنَا مَحْمُودُ بْنُ خَالِدٍ عَنْ الْوَلِيدِ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ الْعَلَائِ أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ الْقَاسِمَ بْنَ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ أَبِي بَکْرٍ أَنَّهُمْ ذَکَرُوا غُسْلَ يَوْمِ الْجُمُعَةِ عِنْدَ عَائِشَةَ فَقَالَتْ إِنَّمَا کَانَ النَّاسُ يَسْکُنُونَ الْعَالِيَةَ فَيَحْضُرُونَ الْجُمُعَةَ وَبِهِمْ وَسَخٌ فَإِذَا أَصَابَهُمْ الرَّوْحُ سَطَعَتْ أَرْوَاحُهُمْ فَيَتَأَذَّی بِهَا النَّاسُ فَذُکِرَ ذَلِکَ لِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقَالَ أَوَ لَا يَغْتَسِلُونَ
سنن نسائی · Hadith 1384
‘Abdullah bin Al-’Ala’ narrated that he heard Al-Qasim bin Muhammad bin Abi Bakr (say) that they mentioned Ghusl on Fridays in the presence of ‘Ai and she said: “Some people used to live in Al-’Aliyah’ and they Would come to Jumu ‘ah with dirt on them (because of their work). When a breeze came it would carry their smell to the people which annoyed them. Mention of that was made to the Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم and he said: ‘Why don’t you perform Ghusl?”(Sahih).
