Arabic (Original)
حَدَّثَنَا عَفَّانُ حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادٌ عَنْ عَطَاءِ بْنِ السَّائِبِ عَنْ حَفْصِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ عَنْ يَعْلَى بْنِ مُرَّةَ قَالَ أَتَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَبِي رَدْعٌ مِنْ زَعْفَرَانٍ قَالَ اغْسِلْهُ ثُمَّ اغْسِلْهُ ثُمَّ اغْسِلْهُ ثُمَّ لَا تَعُدْ قَالَ فَغَسَلْتُهُ ثُمَّ لَمْ أَعُدْ.
English Translation
Affan told us, Hammad told us, from Ata' ibn al-Sa'ib, from Hafs ibn Abdullah, from Ya'la ibn Murrah, who said: I came to the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, with a trace of saffron on me. He said, 'Wash it, then wash it, then wash it, then do not do it again.' He said: So I washed it and never did it again.
