Chapter 5 · Bathing (Ghusl)مَنْ أَفَاضَ عَلَى رَأْسِهِ ثَلاَثًا
One who pours (water) over his head three times
قَالَ لِي جَابِرٌ أَتَانِي ابْنُ عَمِّكَ يُعَرِّضُ بِالْحَسَنِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ ابْنِ الْحَنَفِيَّةِ قَالَ كَيْفَ الْغُسْلُ مِنَ الْجَنَابَةِ فَقُلْتُ كَانَ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم يَأْخُذُ ثَلاَثَةَ أَكُفٍّ وَيُفِيضُهَا عَلَى رَأْسِهِ، ثُمَّ يُفِيضُ عَلَى سَائِرِ جَسَدِهِ. فَقَالَ لِي الْحَسَنُ إِنِّي رَجُلٌ كَثِيرُ الشَّعَرِ. فَقُلْتُ كَانَ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم أَكْثَرَ مِنْكَ شَعَرًا.

حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو نُعَيْمٍ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا مَعْمَرُ بْنُ يَحْيَى بْنِ سَامٍ، حَدَّثَنِي أَبُو جَعْفَرٍ، قَالَ
Translation
Abu Ja'far reported: Jabir said to me, “Your cousin came to me – meaning al-Hasan ibn Muhammad ibn al-Hanafiyyah – and said, ‘How is the ritual bath (ghusl) for janabah?’ I said, ‘The Prophet ﷺ used to take three handfuls (of water) and pour them over his head, then he would pour (water) over the rest of his body.’ Al-Hasan said to me, ‘I am a man with a lot of hair.’ I said, ‘The Prophet ﷺ had more hair than you.’”
Translator’s note: Abu Ja'far is Muhammad ibn Ali ibn al-Husayn (al-Baqir); al-Hasan, like him, was a descendant of Ali. Janabah: the state of major ritual impurity, e.g. after intercourse or ejaculation.

Abu Dscha'far berichtete: Dschabir sagte zu mir: „Dein Vetter kam zu mir – damit meinte er al-Hasan ibn Muhammad ibn al-Hanafiyya – und sagte: ‚Wie ist die Ganzkörperwaschung wegen der Dschanaba?‘ Ich sagte: ‚Der Prophet ﷺ pflegte drei Handvoll (Wasser) zu nehmen und sie über seinen Kopf zu gießen, dann goss er (Wasser) über seinen übrigen Körper.‘ Da sagte al-Hasan zu mir: ‚Ich bin ein Mann mit viel Haar.‘ Ich sagte: ‚Der Prophet ﷺ hatte mehr Haar als du.‘“
Translator’s note: Abu Dscha'far ist Muhammad ibn Ali ibn al-Husain (al-Baqir); al-Hasan war wie er ein Nachkomme Alis. Dschanaba: der Zustand großer ritueller Unreinheit, etwa nach Geschlechtsverkehr oder Samenerguss.
Türkçe
Ebû Ca'fer şöyle rivayet etti: Câbir (r.a.) bana şöyle dedi: “Amcanın oğlu – Hasan b. Muhammed b. Hanefiyye'yi kastediyordu – bana geldi ve ‘Cenâbetten gusül nasıl olur?’ dedi. Ben de ‘Nebî ﷺ üç avuç (su) alır, onları başına döker, sonra bedeninin geri kalanına (su) dökerdi’ dedim. Hasan bana ‘Ben saçı çok bir adamım’ dedi. Ben de ‘Nebî'nin ﷺ saçı seninkinden daha çoktu’ dedim.”
Translator’s note: Ebû Ca'fer, Muhammed b. Ali b. Hüseyin'dir (el-Bâkır); Hasan da onun gibi Hz. Ali'nin soyundandır. Cenâbet: cinsel ilişki veya meni gelmesi gibi sebeplerle oluşan büyük hades hâli.

أَنَّهُ كَانَ عِنْدَ جَابِرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ هُوَ وَأَبُوهُ، وَعِنْدَهُ قَوْمٌ فَسَأَلُوهُ عَنِ الْغُسْلِ،. فَقَالَ يَكْفِيكَ صَاعٌ. فَقَالَ رَجُلٌ مَا يَكْفِينِي. فَقَالَ جَابِرٌ كَانَ يَكْفِي مَنْ هُوَ أَوْفَى مِنْكَ شَعَرًا، وَخَيْرٌ مِنْكَ، ثُمَّ أَمَّنَا فِي ثَوْبٍ.
