عَنْ حُمَيْدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ الْحِمْيَرِيِّ قَالَ: لَقِيتُ رَجُلًا قَدْ صَحِبَ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَرْبَعَ سِنِينَ كَمَا صَحِبَهُ أَبُو هُرَيْرَةَ أَرْبَعَ سِنِينَ، قَالَ: نَهَانَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَنْ يَمْتَشِطَ أَحَدُنَا كُلَّ يَوْمٍ وَأَنْ يَبُولَ فِي مُغْتَسَلِهِ وَأَنْ تَغْتَسِلَ الْمَرْأَةُ بِفَضْلِ الرَّجُلِ وَأَنْ يَغْتَسِلَ الرَّجُلُ بِفَضْلِ الْمَرْأَةِ، وَلْيَغْتَرِفُوا (وَفِي رِوَايَةٍ: وَلْيَغْتَرِفَا) جَمِيعًا
Humaid bin Abdur Rahman Himyari (may Allah have mercy on him) says: I met such a companion who had the honor of the company of the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) for four years, just like Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him). He said: The Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) forbade us from combing our hair every day, or urinating in the bathhouse, or for a wife to perform ghusl (ritual bath) with water left over by her husband, or for a husband to bathe with water left over by his wife. They should both take water together (i.e., bathe together at the same time).
