228. It was narrated from Abû Bakr bin Hafṣ: "I heard Abū Salamah say: 'I entered upon 'Āishah and her foster-brother was with her. He asked her about the Ghusl of the Prophet ﷺ. She called for a vessel in which was a Sā' of water, then she concealed herself and performed Ghusl and poured water over her head three times.'" (Saḥīḥ)
٢٢٧ - أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْأَعْلَى قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا خَالِدٌ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ ، عَنْ أَبِي بَكْرِ بْنِ حَفْصٍ: سَمِعْتُ أَبَا سَلَمَةَ يَقُولُ: «دَخَلْتُ عَلَى عَائِشَةَ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهَا، وَأَخُوهَا مِنَ الرَّضَاعَةِ، فَسَأَلَهَا عَنْ غُسْلِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَدَعَتْ بِإِنَاءٍ فِيهِ مَاءٌ قَدْرَ صَاعٍ فَسَتَرَتْ سِتْرًا، فَاغْتَسَلَتْ، فَأَفْرَغَتْ عَلَى رَأْسِهَا ثَلَاثًا».

'Āishah ﷺ performed this bath behind a curtain. This was in order to demonstrate that a purificatory bath is possible with a small amount of water. She neither unveiled herself nor was she seen by anyone. Hence, there is nothing blameworthy in what she did.
