abudawud:256Muḥammad b. Jaʿfar b. Ziyād > Sharīk > Qays b. Wahb > a man from Banī Suwāʾah b. ʿĀmir > ʿĀʾishah

The Messenger of Allah (May peace be upon him) used to wash his head with marsh-mallow while he was sexually defiled. It was sufficient for him and he did not pour water upon it.  

أبو داود:٢٥٦حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ جَعْفَرِ بْنِ زِيَادٍ حَدَّثَنَا شَرِيكٌ عَنْ قَيْسِ بْنِ وَهْبٍ عَنْ رَجُلٍ مِنْ بَنِي سُوَاءَةَ بْنِ عَامِرٍ عَنْ عَائِشَةَ

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ أَنَّهُ كَانَ يَغْسِلُ رَأْسَهُ بِالْخِطْمِيِّ وَهُوَ جُنُبٌ يَجْتَزِئُ بِذَلِكَ وَلاَ يَصُبُّ عَلَيْهِ الْمَاءَ
