Did You Say It Wasn’t Sufficient? (Hadith No. 252)
Salam,
Bismillah.
Did you say/wonder after reading the last hadith that 1 sa’ (5 liters) of water isn’t enough for you to take a bath?
Narrated Abu Ja’far:
While I and my father were with Jabir bin ‘Abdullah, some People asked him about taking a bath He replied, “A Sa’ of water is sufficient for you.” A man said, “A Sa’ is not sufficient for me.” Jabir said, “A Sa was sufficient for one who had more hair than you and was better than you (meaning the Prophet).” And then Jabir (put on) his garment and led the prayer.
Okay? :)
Wassalam.
