Arabic (Original)
حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ آدَمَ حَدَّثَنَا فُضَيْلٌ يَعْنِي ابْنَ مَرْزُوقٍ عَنْ عَطِيَّةَ عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيِّ أَنَّ رَجُلًا سَأَلَهُ عَنْ غَسْلِ الرَّأْسِ فَقَالَ يَكْفِيكَ ثَلَاثُ حَفَنَاتٍ أَوْ ثَلَاثُ أَكُفٍّ ثُمَّ جَمَعَ يَدَيْهِ ثُمَّ قَالَ يَا أَبَا سَعِيدٍ إِنِّي رَجُلٌ كَثِيرُ الشَّعْرِ قَالَ فَإِنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ كَانَ أَكْثَرَ شَعْرًا مِنْكَ وَأَطْيَبَ.
English Translation
Yahya ibn Adam narrated to us: Fudayl — that is, Ibn Marzuq — narrated to us, from 'Atiyyah, from Abu Sa'id al-Khudri, that a man asked him about washing the head. He said: "Three double-handfuls or three handfuls suffice you," then he joined his two hands together and said, "O Abu Sa'id, I am a man with much hair." He said: "The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, had more hair than you, and it was more fragrant."
