Arabic hadith text

حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ آدَمَ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا زُهَيْرٌ، عَنْ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو جَعْفَرٍ، أَنَّهُ كَانَ عِنْدَ جَابِرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ هُوَ وَأَبُوهُ، وَعِنْدَهُ قَوْمٌ فَسَأَلُوهُ عَنِ الْغُسْلِ،‏.‏ فَقَالَ يَكْفِيكَ صَاعٌ‏.‏ فَقَالَ رَجُلٌ مَا يَكْفِينِي‏.‏ فَقَالَ جَابِرٌ كَانَ يَكْفِي مَنْ هُوَ أَوْفَى مِنْكَ شَعَرًا، وَخَيْرٌ مِنْكَ ، ثُمَّ أَمَّنَا فِي ثَوْبٍ‏.‏

Translation

Abdullah ibn Muhammad narrated to us, saying: Yahya ibn Adam narrated to us, saying: Zuhayr narrated to us, from Abu Ishaq, who said: Abu Jafar narrated to us that he and his father were with Jabir ibn Abdullah, along with some people who asked him about the full bath. He said: “One sa is enough for you.” A man said: “It is not enough for me.” Jabir replied: “It was enough for one with more hair than you and better than you.” Then he led us in prayer wearing a single garment.
