حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ جَعْفَرِ بْنِ زِيَادٍ، حَدَّثَنَا شَرِيكٌ، عَنْ قَيْسِ بْنِ وَهْبٍ، عَنْ رَجُلٍ، مِنْ بَنِي سُوَاءَةَ بْنِ عَامِرٍ عَنْ عَائِشَةَ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم أَنَّهُ كَانَ يَغْسِلُ رَأْسَهُ بِالْخِطْمِيِّ وَهُوَ جُنُبٌ يَجْتَزِئُ بِذَلِكَ وَلاَ يَصُبُّ عَلَيْهِ الْمَاءَ .
A'isha Narrated from:
The Messenger of Allah (May peace be upon him) used to wash his head with marsh-mallow while he was sexually defiled. It was sufficient for him and he did not pour water upon it.
[1] It is a type of substance derived from a plant from the mallow family. The mallow family includes about one thousand kinds of herbs, shrubs, and trees. Hibiscus, hollyhock, and marsh mallow belong to the mallow family. The meaning in this narration is the water that contains this substance in it.Reference : Sunan Abi Dawud 256In-book reference : Book 1, Hadith 256English translation : Book 1, Hadith 256
