238. It was reported from Mālik, from Ibn Shihāb (Az-Zuhri), from 'Urwah, from 'Āishah; that the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ would perform Ghisl for Janābah from a container which contained a Faraq of water. (Sahih)
Abū Dāwud said: Ma'mar said in this Hadīth (which he reported) from Az-Zuhri: "She said: 'I would perform Ghisl with the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ from a container which contained a Faraq of water.'"
Abū Dāwud said: I heard Ahmad bin Ḥanbal say that a Faraq is sixteen Raṭls.[1] And I heard him say that the Ṣā[2] of Ibn Abī Dhi'b was five and one third Raṭls. So I asked him (his opinion about) those who say it is eight Raṭls, and he replied: "This has not been
preserved.”[1]
And I heard Ahmad bin Hanbal say: “Whoever gives for the Sadaqat Al-Fitr, five and one third Raṭls using this Raṭl of ours, then he has given enough.” He was asked: “Aṣ-Ṣaiḥānī[2] is very heavy!” So he said, “Aṣ-Ṣaiḥānī is better?” He said: “I don’t know.”

Commentary
This quantity of water, according to some Aḥādīth, was used by the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ and, according to other Aḥādīth, used by both the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ, and ‘Āishah, and, according to still others, the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ used to perform Ghusl with one Ṣā or one and a quarter Ṣā of water. These different Aḥādīth are easy to reconcile since they refer to different situations.
