حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي عَبْدُ الصَّمَدِ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي شُعْبَةُ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ حَفْصٍ، قَالَ سَمِعْتُ أَبَا سَلَمَةَ، يَقُولُ
Translation
Abu Salamah reported: Aishah's brother and I entered upon Aishah, and her brother asked her about the ritual bath (ghusl) of the Prophet ﷺ. She called for a vessel of about one sa', washed herself and poured (water) over her head, while there was a screen between us and her.
Translator’s note: According to the commentators, he was her foster brother. The sa' is a measure of volume equal to four mudds.

Abu Salama berichtete: Ich und der Bruder Aischas traten bei Aischa ein, und ihr Bruder fragte sie nach der Ganzkörperwaschung des Propheten ﷺ. Da ließ sie ein Gefäß von etwa einem Sa' bringen, wusch sich und goss (Wasser) über ihren Kopf, während zwischen uns und ihr ein Vorhang war.
Translator’s note: Nach den Erklärungen war es ihr Milchbruder. Sa' ist ein Hohlmaß von vier Mudd.
Türkçe
Ebû Seleme şöyle rivayet etti: Ben ve Âişe'nin (r.a.) kardeşi Âişe'nin yanına girdik. Kardeşi ona Nebî'nin ﷺ guslünü sordu. Bunun üzerine yaklaşık bir sâ' alan bir kap istedi, yıkandı ve başına (su) döktü. Bizimle onun arasında bir perde vardı.
Translator’s note: Şârihlere göre bu kişi onun süt kardeşidir. Sâ', dört müd alan bir hacim ölçüsüdür.
