A man asked him: "How much water should I pour over my head when I m sexually impure?" He said: "the messenger of Allah used to pour three handfuls of water over his head." The man said: "My hair is long." He said: "The Messenger of Allah had more hair than you and he was cleaner."  

ابن ماجة:٥٧٨حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو خَالِدٍ الأَحْمَرُ عَنِ ابْنِ عَجْلاَنَ عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ

عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ سَأَلَهُ رَجُلٌ كَمْ أُفِيضُ عَلَى رَأْسِي وَأَنَا جُنُبٌ قَالَ كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَحْثُو عَلَى رَأْسِهِ ثَلاَثَ حَثَيَاتٍ قَالَ الرَّجُلُ إِنَّ شَعْرِي طَوِيلٌ قَالَ كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ أَكْثَرَ شَعَرًا مِنْكَ وَأَطْيَبَ
