    (قلت: إسناده ضعيف؛ شريك سيئ الحفظ، ورجل من بني سواءة لم يسم، فهو مجهول- كما قال المنذري- والحديث بهذا اللفظ باطل، والصواب فيه ما أخرجه أحمد في " المسند " ... بهذا الاسناد عن شيخ من بني سُواءة قال: سألت عائشة قلت: أكان رسول الله صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ إذا أجْنب فغسل رأسه بِغِسْلٍ؛ اجتزأ بذلك، أم يفيض الماء على رأسه؟ قالت: بل كان يفيض على رأسه الماء)

256. A person from the tribe of Suwā’ah bin ‘Āmir narrated from ‘Āishah that the Prophet ﷺ would wash his head with Khītmi while he was in a state of Janābah. That would suffice for him, and he would not pour water over it.(Da'if)

Arabic text

256 - حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ جَعْفَرِ بْنِ زِيَادٍ، حَدَّثَنَا شَرِيكٌ، عَنْ قَيْسِ بْنِ وَهْبٍ، عَنْ رَجُلٍ مِنْ بَنِي سُوَاءَةَ بْنِ عَامِرٍ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، «أَنَّهُ كَانَ يَغْسِلُ رَأْسَهُ بِالْخِطْمِيِّ وَهُوَ جُنُبٌ يَجْتَزِئُ بِذَلِكَ، وَلَا يَصُبُّ عَلَيْهِ الْمَاءَ»
