بَابُ إِذَا ضَرَبَ الرَّجُلُ فَخِذَ أَخِيهِ وَلَمْ يُرِدْ بِهِ سُوءًاChapter: Striking brother's thigh without ill intent
Hadith 959
حَدَّثَنَا مُوسَى، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا وُهَيْبٌ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا جَعْفَرٌ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ جَابِرٍ قَالَ: كَانَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِذَا كَانَ جُنُبًا، يَصُبُّ عَلَى رَأْسِهِ ثَلاَثَ حَفَنَاتٍ مِنْ مَاءٍ قَالَ الْحَسَنُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ: أَبَا عَبْدِ اللهِ، إِنَّ شَعْرِي أَكْثَرُ مِنْ ذَاكَ، قَالَ: وَضَرَبَ بِيَدِهِ عَلَى فَخِذِ الْحَسَنِ فَقَالَ: يَا ابْنَ أَخِي، كَانَ شَعْرُ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَكْثَرَ مِنْ شَعْرِكَ وَأَطْيَبَ.
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him) that when the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) was in a state of major ritual impurity (janabah), he would pour three handfuls of water over his head. Hasan bin Muhammad ibn Hanafiyyah (may Allah have mercy on him) said: Abu Abdullah! My hair is much more than that (for three handfuls to suffice). The narrator says that Sayyiduna Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him) struck his hand on Hasan’s thigh and said: My nephew! The Prophet’s (peace and blessings be upon him) hair was more and purer than yours.
