[Machine] The Messenger of Allah, may peace be upon him, said, "A measure of water is sufficient for ablution, and a Sa' is sufficient for sexual impurity." A man said to him, "That is not enough for us, O Jabir." He replied, "It is enough for someone who is better than you and has more hair."

[Machine] On the authority of the Prophet ﷺ , he said, "The amount of water needed for ablution is a handful, and the amount of water needed for purification from sexual impurity is a complete sa'a." A man asked, "What if that is not sufficient for me?" Jabir replied, "It is sufficient for someone who is better than you and has more hair. That is the teaching of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ ."
