English translation

231. It was narrated that Abū Ja'far said: "We argued about Ghusl in the presence of Jābir in 'Abdullāh, and Jābir said: 'One Sā' of water is sufficient for Ghusl from Janābah.' We said: 'One Sā' is not enough and neither is two.' Jābir said: 'It was sufficient for one who was better than you and had more hair.'" (Sahīh)

Arabic text

230 - أَخْبَرَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الْأَحْوَصِ، عَنْ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ، عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ قَالَ: تَمَارَيْنَا فِي الْغُسْلِ عِنْدَ جَابِرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، فَقَالَ جَابِرٌ: «يَكْفِي مِنَ الْغُسْلِ مِنَ الْجَنَابَةِ صَاعٌ مِنْ مَاءٍ». قُلْنَا مَا يَكْفِي صَاعٌ وَلَا صَاعَانِ. قَالَ جَابِرٌ: «قَدْ كَانَ يَكْفِي مَنْ كَانَ خَيْرًا مِنْكُمْ وَأَكْثَرَ شَعْرًا»
