226 - أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عُبَيْدٍ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ زَكَرِيَّا بْنِ أَبِي زَائِدَةَ، عَنْ مُوسَى الْجُهَنِيِّ قَالَ: أُتِيَ مُجَاهِدٌ بِقَدَحٍ حَزَرْتُهُ ثَمَانِيَةَ أَرْطَالٍ فَقَالَ: حَدَّثَتْنِي عَائِشَةُ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهَا: «أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ كَانَ يَغْتَسِلُ بِمِثْلِ هَذَا»
