أَخْبَرَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الْأَحْوَصِ عَنْ أَبِي إِسْحَقَ عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ قَالَ تَمَارَيْنَا فِي الْغُسْلِ عِنْدَ جَابِرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ فَقَالَ جَابِرٌ يَکْفِي مِنْ الْغُسْلِ مِنْ الْجَنَابَةِ صَاعٌ مِنْ مَائٍ قُلْنَا مَا يَکْفِي صَاعٌ وَلَا صَاعَانِ قَالَ جَابِرٌ قَدْ کَانَ يَکْفِي مَنْ کَانَ خَيْرًا مِنْکُمْ وَأَکْثَرَ شَعْرًا
سنن نسائی · Hadith 233
It was narrated that Abu Ja’far said: “We argued about Ghusl in the presence of Jabir in ‘Abdulláh, and Jabir said: ‘One Sa’ of water is sufficient for Ghusl from Janabah.’ We said: ‘One Sa’ is not enough and neither is two.’ Jabir said: ‘It was sufficient for one who was better than you and had more hair.” (Sahih)
