عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ عُقْبَةَ بْنِ الْفَاكِهِ عَنْ جَدِّهِ الْفَاكِهِ بْنِ سَعْدٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ وَكَانَ لَهُ صُحْبَةٌ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ كَانَ يَغْتَسِلُ يَوْمَ الْجُمُعَةِ وَيَوْمَ عَرَفَةَ وَيَوْمَ الْفِطْرِ وَيَوْمَ النَّحْرِ، قَالَ وَكَانَ الْفَاكِهُ بْنُ سَعْدٍ يَأْمُرُ أَهْلَهُ بِالْغُسْلِ فِي هَٰذِهِ الْأَيَّامِ
Sayyiduna Fakih bin Sa’d (may Allah be pleased with him), who was a Companion, narrates that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) used to perform ghusl (ritual bath) on the days of Jumu’ah, ‘Arafah, Eid al-Fitr, and Eid al-Adha. Accordingly, Sayyiduna Fakih (may Allah be pleased with him) would also instruct his family members to perform ghusl on these days.
