238. ‘Abdur-Rahmān bin Hurmuz Al-A’raj said: “Nā’im the freed slave of Umm Salamah narrated to me that Umm Salamah was asked: ‘Can a woman perform Ghusl with a man?’ She said: ‘Yes, if she is well-mannered.’[1] I remember the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ and I performing Ghusl from a single wash tub. We would pour water on our hands until they were clean then pour water over them.” Al-A’raj said: “Not mentioning the private area nor paying attention to it.” (Sahih)
237 - أَخْبَرَنَا سُوَيْدُ بْنُ نَصْرٍ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ، عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ يَزِيدَ قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ عَبْدَ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنَ هُرْمُزَ الْأَعْرَجَ يَقُولُ: حَدَّثَنِي نَاعِمٌ مَوْلَى أُمِّ سَلَمَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهَا، أَنَّ أُمَّ سَلَمَةَ سُئِلَتْ أَتَغْتَسِلُ الْمَرْأَةُ مَعَ الرَّجُلِ؟ قَالَتْ: «نَعَمْ. إِذَا كَانَتْ كَيِّسَةً رَأَيْتُنِي وَرَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ نَغْتَسِلُ مِنْ مِرْكَنٍ وَاحِدٍ نُفِيضُ عَلَى أَيْدِينَا حَتَّى نُنْقِيَهُمَا، ثُمَّ نُفِيضَ عَلَيْهَا الْمَاءَ» قَالَ الْأَعْرَجُ: لَا تَذْكُرُ فَرْجًا وَلَا تَبَالَهُ

[1] Ka’ysah: “Well-mannered when using the water with the man.” (An-Nihāyah) And the comments by Al-A’raj after the narration refer to its meaning.
A'arj is in fact offering an explanation of Umm Salamah's statement about well-mannered.
