Hadith 24339

حَدَّثَنَا حَدَّثَنَا وَكِيعٌ ، حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ ، عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ سَعِيدٍ ، عَنْ عَمْرَةَ ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ ، قَالَت : " كَانَ النَّاسُ عُمَّالَ أَنْفُسِهِمْ ، فَكَانُوا يَرُوحُونَ كَهَيْئَتِهِمْ ، فَقِيلَ لَهُمْ لَوْ اغْتَسَلْتُمْ " .
It is narrated from Hazrat Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) that people used to do their work with their own hands and would come for Jumu'ah in that state, so the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said to them: If only you would perform ghusl (ritual bath).
