256. Narrated Abū Ja'far: Jābir bin 'Abdullāh رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُمَا said to me, "Your cousin (Hasan bin Muḥammad bin Al-Ḥanafiya) came to me and asked about the bath of Janāba. I replied, 'The Prophet ﷺ used to take three handfuls of water, pour them on his head and then pour more water over his body.' Al-Hasan said to me, 'I am a hairy man.' I replied, 'The Prophet ﷺ had more hair than you.'"
256 - حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو نُعَيْمٍ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا مَعْمَرُ بْنُ يَحْيَى بْنِ سَامٍ، حَدَّثَنِي أَبُو جَعْفَرٍ، قَالَ: قَالَ لِي جَابِرُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ وَأَتَانِي ابْنُ عَمِّكَ يُعَرِّضُ بِالحَسَنِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ ابْنِ الحَنَفِيَّةِ. قَالَ: كَيْفَ الغُسْلُ مِنَ الجَنَابَةِ؟ فَقُلْتُ: «كَانَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَأْخُذُ ثَلاَثَةَ أَكُفٍّ وَيُفِيضُهَا عَلَى رَأْسِهِ، ثُمَّ يُفِيضُ عَلَى سَائِرِ جَسَدِهِ» فَقَالَ لِي الحَسَنُ إِنِّي رَجُلٌ كَثِيرُ الشَّعَرِ، فَقُلْتُ: «كَانَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَكْثَرَ مِنْكَ شَعَرًا»
