252. Narrated Abū Ja'far: While I and my father were with Jābir bin 'Abdullāh رضي الله عنها some people were with him and they asked him about taking a bath. He replied, "A Ṣā' of water is sufficient for you." A man said, "A Ṣā' is not sufficient for me." Jābir said, "A Ṣā' was sufficient for one who had more hair than you and was better than you (meaning the Prophet ﷺ)." And then Jābir (put on) his garment and led Aṣ-Ṣalāt (prayer).
252 - حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ آدَمَ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا زُهَيْرٌ، عَنْ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو جَعْفَرٍ، أَنَّهُ كَانَ عِنْدَ جَابِرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ هُوَ وَأَبُوهُ وَعِنْدَهُ قَوْمٌ فَسَأَلُوهُ عَنِ الغُسْلِ، فَقَالَ: «يَكْفِيكَ صَاعٌ»، فَقَالَ رَجُلٌ: مَا يَكْفِينِي، فَقَالَ جَابِرٌ: «كَانَ يَكْفِي مَنْ هُوَ أَوْفَى مِنْكَ شَعَرًا، وَخَيْرٌ مِنْكَ» ثُمَّ أَمَّنَا فِي ثَوْبٍ
