[Machine] I came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ with an intimate problem related to saffron. He said, "Wash it, then wash it, then wash it, and do not count." So, I washed it, then I did not go back.  

أحمد:١٧٥٥٣حَدَّثَنَا عَفَّانُ حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادٌ عَنْ عَطَاءِ بْنِ السَّائِبِ عَنْ حَفْصِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللهِ عَنْ يَعْلَى بْنِ مُرَّةَ قَالَ

أَتَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ وَبِي رَدْعٌ مِنْ زَعْفَرَانٍ قَالَ اغْسِلْهُ ثُمَّ اغْسِلْهُ ثُمَّ اغْسِلْهُ ثُمَّ لَا تَعُدْ قَالَ فَغَسَلْتُهُ ثُمَّ لَمْ أَعُدْ
