Abu Zubair says: I asked Sayyiduna Jabir (RA) about ghusl (ritual bath), and he replied: The people of Banu Thaqif came to the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and said: Indeed, it gets cold in our region, so what do you command us regarding ghusl? The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: I pour water over my head three times. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) did not say anything beyond this.
