Arabic (Original)
حَدَّثَنَا سَعِيدُ بْنُ عَامِرٍ قَالَ شُعْبَةُ أَخْبَرَنَا عَنْ مُخَوَّلٍ عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَلِيِّ بْنِ حُسَيْنٍ عَنْ جَابِرٍ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ كَانَ إِذَا اغْتَسَلَ أَفْرَغَ عَلَى رَأْسِهِ ثَلَاثًا قَالَ فَقَالَ رَجُلٌ مِنْ بَنِي هَاشِمٍ إِنَّ شَعْرِي كَثِيرٌ فَقَالَ جَابِرٌ إِنَّ شَعْرَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ كَانَ أَكْثَرَ مِنْ شَعْرِكَ وَأَطْيَبَ.
English Translation
Sa'id ibn 'Amir told us, he said Shu'ba informed us, from Mukhawwal, from Abu Ja'far Muhammad ibn 'Ali ibn Husayn, from Jabir, that the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, when he performed the ritual bath, would pour water over his head three times. He said: A man from Banu Hashim said, "My hair is thick." Jabir said, "The hair of the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, was thicker than your hair and more pleasant."
