Arabic (Original)
حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى عَنْ جَعْفَرٍ حَدَّثَنِي أَبِي قَالَ قَالَ لِي جَابِرٌ قَالَ سَأَلَنِي ابْنُ عَمِّكَ الْحَسَنُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ غُسْلِ الْجَنَابَةِ فَقُلْتُ كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَصُبُّ بِيَدَيْهِ عَلَى رَأْسِهِ ثَلَاثًا فَقَالَ إِنِّي كَثِيرُ الشَّعْرِ فَقُلْتُ مَهْ يَا ابْنَ أَخِي كَانَ شَعْرُ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَكْثَرَ مِنْ شَعْرِكَ وَأَطْيَبَ.
English Translation
Yahya told us, from Ja'far: my father told me, who said: Jabir said to me: "Your cousin al-Hasan ibn Muhammad asked me about the ghusl (ritual bath) for major ritual impurity, and I said: 'The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, used to pour water with his own hands over his head three times.' He said: 'But I have thick hair.' So I said: 'Enough, O son of my brother - the hair of the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, was thicker than your hair and more pleasant.'"
