347 - أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ إِسْحَاقَ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا الْحَسَنُ بْنُ مُوسَى، حَدَّثَنَا شَيْبَانُ، عَنْ قَتَادَةَ، عَنِ الْحَسَنِ، عَنْ أُمِّهِ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ قَالَتْ: «كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَتَوَضَّأُ بِالْمُدِّ وَيَغْتَسِلُ بِالصَّاعِ»

Commentary
The Sā' equals four Mudds, (1 Sā' equals 2.03 liters). For performing the purificatory bath (Ghusl), the amount of water has been variously mentioned: sometimes a Sā', or almost a Sā', in some places. Five Ratls or sometimes eight Ratls, etc. The import of these statements is not much variant. The phrase ‘approximately a Sā' also provides evidence to this viewpoint.
