English translation

316. (There is another chain) 'Āishah narrated that Asmā' asked the Prophet ﷺ..., and its meaning is similar, but he said: "...a musk laden pad (Firṣah).'" She asked: “How should I cleanse myself with it?” He said: “Subḥan Allāh! Cleanse yourself with it!” and covered himself with a garment. This narration also has the addition: “And she (Asmā') asked him about the Ghusl from Janābah. He ﷺ said: ‘You should take water, and purify yourself the best and most complete purification, then you should pour water over your head, and rub it (back and forth) until it reaches the roots of your hair. Then you should pour water over yourself.’” Āishah said: “How great were the women of the Anṣār, for shyness would not prevent them from asking questions about the religion, and understanding it.” (Ṣaḥīḥ)

Arabic text

316 - حَدَّثَنَا عُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مُعَاذٍ الْعَنْبَرِيُّ، أَخْبَرَنِي أَبِي، عَنْ شُعْبَةَ، عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ يَعْنِي ابْنَ مُهَاجِرٍ، عَنْ صَفِيَّةَ بِنْتِ شَيْبَةَ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ، أَنَّ أَسْمَاءَ سَأَلَتِ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بِمَعْنَاهُ قَالَ: «فِرْصَةً مُمَسَّكَةً». قَالَتْ: كَيْفَ أَتَطَهَّرُ بِهَا قَالَ: «سُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ تَطَهَّرِي بِهَا وَاسْتَتِرِي بِثَوْبٍ»، وَزَادَ وَسَأَلَتْهُ عَنْ الْغُسْلِ مِنَ الجَنَابَةِ فَقَالَ: «تَأْخُذِينَ مَاءَكِ فَتَطَّهَّرِينَ أَحْسَنَ الطُّهُورِ وَأَبْلَغَهُ، ثُمَّ تَصُبِّينَ عَلَى رَأْسِكِ الْمَاءَ، ثُمَّ تَدْلُكِينَهُ حَتَّى يَبْلُغَ شُؤُونَ رَأْسِكِ، ثُمَّ تُفِيضِينَ عَلَيْكِ الْمَاءَ» قَالَ: وَقَالَتْ عَائِشَةُ: «نِعْمَ النِّسَاءُ نِسَاءُ الْأَنْصَارِ لَمْ يَكُنْ يَمْنَعُهُنَّ الْحَيَاءُ أَنْ يَسْأَلْنَ عَنِ الدِّينِ، وَأَنْ يَتَفَقَّهْنَ فِيهِ»
