(حديث مرفوع) حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو سَعِيدٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا سُلَيْمَانُ بْنُ بِلَالٍ ، عَنْ عَمْرٍو يَعْنِي ابْنَ أَبِي عَمْرٍو ، عَنْ عِكْرِمَةَ ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ ، وَسَأَلَهُ رَجُلٌ عنْ الْغُسْلِ يَوْمَ الْجُمُعَةِ ، أَوَاجِبٌ هُوَ ؟ قَالَ : لَا , وَمَنْ شَاءَ اغْتَسَلَ ، وَسَأُحَدِّثُكُمْ عَنْ بَدْءِ الْغُسْلِ : كَانَ النَّاسُ مُحْتَاجِينَ ، وَكَانُوا يَلْبَسُونَ الصُّوفَ ، وَكَانُوا يَسْقُونَ النَّخْلَ عَلَى ظُهُورِهِمْ ، وَكَانَ مَسْجِدُ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ضَيِّقًا مُتَقَارِبَ السَّقْفِ ، فَرَاحَ النَّاسُ فِي الصُّوفِ فَعَرِقُوا ، وَكَانَ مِنْبَرُ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَصِيرًا ، إِنَّمَا هُوَ ثَلَاثُ دَرَجَاتٍ ، فَعَرِقَ النَّاسُ فِي الصُّوفِ فَثَارَتْ أَرْوَاحُهُمْ ، أَرْوَاحُ الصُّوفِ ، فَتَأَذَّى بَعْضُهُمْ بِبَعْضٍ ، حَتَّى بَلَغَتْ أَرْوَاحُهُمْ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَهُوَ عَلَى الْمِنْبَرِ ، فَقَالَ : " يَا أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ , إِذَا جِئْتُمْ الْجُمُعَةَ ، فَاغْتَسِلُوا ، وَلْيَمَسَّ أَحَدُكُمْ مِنْ أَطْيَبِ طِيبٍ إِنْ كَانَ عِنْدَهُ " .
A man asked Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both), "Is the Friday ghusl (ritual bath) obligatory?" He replied, "No, whoever wishes may perform ghusl (and whoever does not wish, may leave it). I will tell you how the practice of ghusl on Friday began. People used to be poor, wore woolen clothes, and would carry water on their backs to irrigate the gardens. The Prophet’s Mosque was small and its roof was low. When people worked wearing woolen clothes, they would sweat. The pulpit of the Prophet (peace be upon him) was also small and had only three steps. Once, on a Friday, people were sweating in their woolen clothes, and the smell was spreading, causing discomfort to some. The Prophet (peace be upon him), while he was on the pulpit, also sensed the smell. So he said: 'O people! When you come for Friday (prayer), come after performing ghusl, and whoever has the best perfume, let him apply it.'"
