576. It was narrated from Abu Sa'eed that a man asked him about having a bath to cleanse oneself from sexual impurity. He said to pour water three times. The man said: "But I have a lot of hair." He said: "The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ had more hair than you and he was cleaner." (Da'if)
576 - حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ وَعَلِيُّ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ، قَالَا: حَدَّثَنَا وَكِيعٌ، ح وَحَدَّثَنَا أَبُو كُرَيْبٍ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ فُضَيْلٍ جَمِيعًا، عَنْ فُضَيْلِ بْنِ مَرْزُوقٍ، عَنْ عَطِيَّةَ، عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ، أَنَّ رَجُلًا سَأَلَهُ عَنِ الْغُسْلِ مِنَ الْجَنَابَةِ، فَقَالَ: «ثَلَاثًا» فَقَالَ الرَّجُلُ: إِنْ شَعْرِي كَثِيرٌ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «كَانَ أَكْثَرَ شَعْرًا مِنْكَ، وَأَطْيَبَ»

'Atyab' could also mean that the Prophet ﷺ was cleaner and more particular about cleanliness than you (the questioner). Still three handfuls of water was enough for him. Therefore, it should be enough for you as well.
