609. Anas bin Mālik narrated that the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: The acceptable Wudū’ is with two Raṭils[1] of water.” (Da’if)
Abū ‘Eisā said: This Ḥadīth is Gharib, we do not know it except as a narration of Sharik with this wording.
Shu’bah reported from ‘Abdullāh
bin ‘Abdullāh bin Jabr, from Anas bin Mālik: “The Prophet ﷺ would perform Wudū with a Makūk[1] and Ghusl with five Makūk.”
[And it has been reported from Sufyān Ath-Thawrī, from ‘Abdullāh bin ‘Eisā, from ‘Abdullāh bin Jabr, from Anas: “The Prophet ﷺ would perform Wudū with a Mudd[2] and he would perform Ghusl with a Sā.” And this is more correct than the Hadīth of Sharīk].
