[Machine] Jabir came to the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ and said, "Our land is cold, so how can you command us to perform ablution?" The Prophet ﷺ replied, "As for me, I pour water over my head three times and I do not do more than that."  

أحمد:١٤٧٥٢حَدَّثَنَا مُوسَى حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ لَهِيعَةَ عَنْ أَبِي الزُّبَيْرِ قَالَ سَأَلْتُ جَابِرًا عَنِ الْغُسْلِ؟ قَالَ

جَابِرٌ أَتَتْ ثَقِيفٌ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ فَقَالَتْ إِنَّ أَرْضَنَا أَرْضٌ بَارِدَةٌ فَكَيْفَ تَأْمُرُنَا بِالْغُسْلِ؟ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ أَمَّا أَنَا فَأَصُبُّ عَلَى رَأْسِي ثَلَاثَ مَرَّاتٍ وَلَمْ يَقُلْغَيْرَ ذَلِكَ
