575. It was narrated that Jubair bin Mut'im said: " (The Companions) disputed in the presence of the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ about having a bath to cleanse oneself from sexual impurity. The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: 'As for me, I pour three handfuls of water on my head.'" (Sahih)
575 - حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الْأَحْوَصِ، عَنْ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ، عَنْ سُلَيْمَانَ بْنِ صُرَدٍ، عَنْ جُبَيْرِ بْنِ مُطْعِمٍ، قَالَ: تَمَارَوْا فِي الْغُسْلِ مِنَ الْجَنَابَةِ عِنْدَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «أَمَّا أَنَا، فَأُفِيضُ عَلَى رَأْسِي ثَلَاثَ أَكُفٍّ»

a. 'Disputed' here means started talking about the subject and everybody narrated how he had a bath after sexual impurity. b. The Hadith discusses only one of the issues connected with the bath after being sexually impure. Maybe, the Prophet ﷺ had discussed the entire procedure, but the narrator chose to mention only the most important one. It is also possible that the Prophet ﷺ did not mention other points because the Companions had rightly stated them, and he just mentioned what was missing in their narrations. And Allāh knows best.
