حَدَّثَنَا دَاوُدُ بْنُ مِهْرَانَ حَدَّثَنَا دَاوُدُ يَعْنِي الْعَطَّارَ عَنِ ابْنِ جُرَيْجٍ عَنْ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ أَبِي يَزِيدَ عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ قَالَ قَالَ رَجُلٌ كَمْ يَكْفِينِي مِنْ الْوُضُوءِ قَالَ مُدٌّ قَالَ كَمْ يَكْفِينِي لِلْغُسْلِ قَالَ صَاعٌ فَقَالَ الرَّجُلُ لَا يَكْفِينِي قَالَ لَا أُمَّ لَكَ قَدْ كَفَى مَنْ هُوَ خَيْرٌ مِنْكَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ
مسند امام احمد بن حنبل · Hadith 2628
It was narrated that Ibn 'Abbas (RA) said: A man said: How much water is enough for wudool He said: A mudd. He said: How much is sufficient for ghusl ? He said: A sa'. The man said; That is not enough for me. He said: May you have no mother! It was enough for one who is better than you, the Messenger of Allah (PBUH).
