Hadith 228
اُردوEn
أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْأَعْلَى ، قال : حَدَّثَنَا خَالِدٌ ، قال : حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ ، عَنْ أَبِي بَكْرِ بْنِ حَفْصٍ ، سَمِعْتُ أَبَا سَلَمَةَ ، يَقُولُ : دَخَلْتُ عَلَى عَائِشَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهَا وَأَخُوهَا مِنَ الرَّضَاعَةِ ، فَسَأَلَهَا عَنْ غُسْلِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ " فَدَعَتْ بِإِنَاءٍ فِيهِ مَاءٌ قَدْرَ صَاعٍ ، فَسَتَرَتْ سِتْرًا فَاغْتَسَلَتْ ، فَأَفْرَغَتْ عَلَى رَأْسِهَا ثَلَاثًا " .
´It was narrated from Abu Bakr bin Hafs:` "I heard Abu Salamah say: 'I entered upon 'Aishah and her foster-brother was with her. He asked her about the Ghusl of the Prophet (ﷺ). She called for a vessel in which was a Sa' of water, then she concealed herself and performed Ghusl and poured water over her head three times.'"

228. Commentary:
➊ Aisha (radi Allahu anha) performed this ritual bath (ghusl) behind a screen and while clothed, solely to demonstrate that it is possible to perform the ritual bath with that amount of water. There was neither any immodesty nor was she visible to him; therefore, there is nothing objectionable in this, contrary to what the deniers of hadith and others attempt to suggest in their reprehensible efforts to cast doubt upon the hadith.
➋ This blessed hadith also shows that, along with verbal instruction, demonstrating through action is more appropriate for teaching.
