1755. 'Āishah said: "I and the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ would perform Ghusl using (water from) the same vessel. He had hair reaching above his shoulders and below his earlobes." (Ḥasan) This Hadīth is Ḥasan Ṣaḥīḥ Gharīb from this route. [Abū 'Eisā said:] It has been reported from other routes that 'Āishah said: "I and the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ would perform Ghusl using (water from) the same vessel." And the following statement is not mentioned in it: "He had hair reaching above his shoulders [and below his earlobes]." It was only mentioned by 'Abdur-Raḥmān bin Abī Az-Zinād, and he is trustworthy, a Hāfiz, [and Mālik bin Anas stated that he was trustworthy and ordered recording (Aḥādīth) from him].

١٧٥٥ - حَدَّثَنَا ‌هَنَّادٌ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا ‌عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ أَبِي الزِّنَادِ ، عَنْ ‌هِشَامِ بْنِ عُرْوَةَ، عَنْ ‌أَبِيهِ ، عَنْ ‌عَائِشَةَ قَالَتْ: «كُنْتُ أَغْتَسِلُ أَنَا وَرَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ مِنْ إِنَاءٍ وَاحِدٍ،» وَكَانَ لَهُ شَعَرٌ فَوْقَ الْجُمَّةِ، وَدُونَ الْوَفْرَةِ هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ صَحِيحٌ غَرِيبٌ مِنْ هَذَا الْوَجْهِ. وَقَدْ رُوِيَ مِنْ غَيْرِ وَجْهٍ عَنْ عَائِشَةَ أَنَّهَا قَالَتْ: كُنْتُ أَغْتَسِلُ أَنَا وَرَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ مِنْ إِنَاءٍ وَاحِدٍ، وَلَمْ يَذْكُرُوا فِيهِ هَذَا الْحَرْفَ: وَكَانَ لَهُ شَعَرٌ فَوْقَ الْجُمَّةِ وَدُونَ الْوَفْرَةِ. وَإِنَّمَا ذَكَرَهُ عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ أَبِي الزِّنَادِ وَهُوَ ثِقَةٌ حَافِظٌ كَانَ مَالِكُ بْنُ أَنَسٍ يُوَثِّقُهُ وَيَأْمُرُ بِالْكِتَابَةِ عَنْهُ.

Commentary

Long hair is of three types; (i) Jummah: that reaches the shoulders; (ii) Wafrah: that reaches the earlobes; and (iii) Limmah: of medial length (between Jummah and Wafrah) that dangles between the earlobes and the shoulders.
