حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْمُثَنَّى حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو عَاصِمٍ عَنْ حَنْظَلَةَ عَنْ الْقَاسِمِ عَنْ عَائِشَةَ قَالَتْكَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِذَا اغْتَسَلَ مِنْ الْجَنَابَةِ دَعَا بِشَيْءٍ مِنْ نَحْوِ الْحِلَابِ فَأَخَذَ بِكَفَّيْهِ فَبَدَأَ بِشِقِّ رَأْسِهِ الْأَيْمَنِ ثُمَّ الْأَيْسَرِ ثُمَّ أَخَذَ بِكَفَّيْهِ فَقَالَ بِهِمَا عَلَى رَأْسِهِ
English Translation
Telah menceritakan kepada kami [Muhammad bin Al-Mutsanna] telah menceritakan kepada kami [Abu 'Ashim] dari [Hanzhalah] dari [Al-Qasim] dari [Aisyah] dia berkata; Rasulullah shallallahu 'alaihi wasallam apabila mandi junub, beliau meminta sesuatu (tempat air) sebesar tempat untuk memerah susu. Lalu beliau mengambil air dengan kedua telapak tangannya, beliau memulai dari bagian kanan kepala, kemudian pada bagian sebelah kiri. Sesudah itu, beliau mengambil lagi air dengan kedua telapak tangannya, lalu beliau tuangkan di atas kepalanya.
