Mukhtasar Bukhari (Abridged) 188 — Bathing with one sa’ or similar

The Mother of the Believers, Aisha Siddiqa (may Allah be pleased with her), was asked about the manner of the Prophet’s (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) bathing. She called for a vessel containing about one sa’ (of water), and bathed with it, pouring water over her head, and there was a thick curtain between the Mother of the Believers and the questioner.
