حَدَّثَنَا مُوسَى، قَالَ‏:‏ حَدَّثَنَا وُهَيْبٌ، قَالَ‏:‏ حَدَّثَنَا جَعْفَرٌ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ جَابِرٍ قَالَ‏:‏ كَانَ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم إِذَا كَانَ جُنُبًا، يَصُبُّ عَلَى رَأْسِهِ ثَلاَثَ حَفَنَاتٍ مِنْ مَاءٍ قَالَ الْحَسَنُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ‏:‏ أَبَا عَبْدِ اللهِ، إِنَّ شَعْرِي أَكْثَرُ مِنْ ذَاكَ، قَالَ‏:‏ وَضَرَبَ بِيَدِهِ عَلَى فَخِذِ الْحَسَنِ فَقَالَ‏:‏ يَا ابْنَ أَخِي، كَانَ شَعْرُ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم أَكْثَرَ مِنْ شَعْرِكَ وَأَطْيَبَ‏.‏

Musa related to us, saying: Wuhayb related to us, saying: Ja‘far related to us, from his father, from Jabir, who said: When the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, was in a state of major ritual impurity, he would pour three handfuls of water over his head. Al-Hasan ibn Muhammad said: “Abu ‘Abdullah, my hair is more abundant than that.” He struck al-Hasan’s thigh with his hand and said: “My nephew, the Prophet’s hair was more abundant than yours, and more beautiful.”
