ahmad:14188Muḥammad b. Jaʿfar > Shuʿbah > Mikhwal > Muḥammad b. ʿAliyy > Jābir b. ʿAbdullāh

[Machine] The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ used to pour water three times on his head. Shu'bah said, I think it was during the ritual purification after sexual defilement. A man from the Bani Hashim said, "My hair is abundant." Jabir replied, "The Messenger of Allah ﷺ had more hair than you and it was more beautiful."

أحمد:١٤١٨٨حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ عَنْ مِخْوَلٍ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَلِيٍّعَنْ جَابِرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللهِ

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ كَانَ يُفْرِغُ عَلَى رَأْسِهِ ثَلَاثًا قَالَ شُعْبَةُ أَظُنُّهُ فِي الْغُسْلِ مِنَ الْجَنَابَةِ فَقَالَ رَجُلٌ مِنْ بَنِي هَاشِمٍ إِنَّ شَعْرِي كَثِيرٌ فَقَالَ جَابِرٌ كَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ أَكْثَرَ شَعْرًا مِنْكَ وَأَطْيَبَ

[Machine] The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ used to pour water on his head three times when performing ablution. A man from the Banu Hashim tribe said, "My hair is a lot." Jabir replied, "The hair of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ was more abundant and nicer than yours."

أحمد:١٤٩٧٥حَدَّثَنَا سَعِيدُ بْنُ عَامِرٍ قَالَ شُعْبَةُ أَخْبَرَنَا عَنْ مُخَوَّلٍ عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَلِيِّ بْنِ حُسَيْنٍ عَنْ جَابِرٍ

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ كَانَ إِذَا اغْتَسَلَ أَفْرَغَ عَلَى رَأْسِهِ ثَلَاثًا قَالَ فَقَالَ رَجُلٌ مِنْ بَنِي هَاشِمٍ إِنَّ شَعْرِي كَثِيرٌ فَقَالَ جَابِرٌ إِنَّ شَعْرَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ كَانَ أَكْثَرَ مِنْ شَعْرِكَ وَأَطْيَبَ

ahmad:14430Yaḥyá > Jaʿfar from my father > Lī Jābir > Saʾalanī Ibn ʿAmmik al-Ḥasan b. Muḥammad

[Machine] Regarding the ritual purification of major impurity, I said that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to pour water with his hands onto his head three times, then he would say: "I have a lot of hair." So I said, "My son of my brother, the hair of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ was more abundant and nicer than your hair."

أحمد:١٤٤٣٠حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى عَنْ جَعْفَرٍ حَدَّثَنِي أَبِي قَالَ قَالَ لِي جَابِرٌ قَالَ سَأَلَنِي ابْنُ عَمِّكَ الْحَسَنُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ

عَنْ غُسْلِ الْجَنَابَةِ فَقُلْتُ كَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ يَصُبُّ بِيَدَيْهِ عَلَى رَأْسِهِ ثَلَاثًا فَقَالَ إِنِّي كَثِيرُ الشَّعْرِ فَقُلْتُ مَهْ يَا ابْنَ أَخِي كَانَ شَعْرُ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ أَكْثَرَ مِنْ شَعْرِكَ وَأَطْيَبَ

ahmad:15052ʿAbd al-Wahhāb al-Thaqafī > Jaʿfar from his father > Jābir

When the Messenger of Allah ﷺ took a bath because of sexual intercourse, he poured three handfuls of water upon his head. Hasan b. Muhammad said to him (the narrator): My hair is thick. Upon this Jabir observed. I said to him: O son of my brother, the hair of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ was thicker than your hair and these were more fine (than yours). (Using translation from Muslim 329)

كَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ إِذَا اغْتَسَلَ مِنْ جَنَابَةٍ يَصُبُّ عَلَى رَأْسِهِ ثَلَاثَ حَفَنَاتٍ فَقَالَ لَهُ الْحَسَنُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ إِنَّ شَعْرِيكَثِيرٌ قَالَ يَا ابْنَ أَخِي كَانَ شَعَرُ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ أَكْثَرَ مِنْ شَعْرِكَ وَأَطْيَبَ
