حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَشَّارٍ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ مَهْدِيٍّ، حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ، عَنِ الأَغَرِّ بْنِ الصَّبَّاحِ، عَنْ خَلِيفَةَ بْنِ حُصَيْنٍ، عَنْ قَيْسِ بْنِ عَاصِمٍ، أَنَّهُ أَسْلَمَ فَأَمَرَهُ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم أَنْ يَغْتَسِلَ بِمَاءٍ وَسِدْرٍ . قَالَ وَفِي الْبَابِ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ . قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ لاَ نَعْرِفُهُ إِلاَّ مِنْ هَذَا الْوَجْهِ . وَالْعَمَلُ عَلَيْهِ عِنْدَ أَهْلِ الْعِلْمِ يَسْتَحِبُّونَ لِلرَّجُلِ إِذَا أَسْلَمَ أَنْ يَغْتَسِلَ وَيَغْسِلَ ثِيَابَهُ .

Muhammad ibn Bashshar told us: Abd al-Rahman ibn Mahdi told us: Sufyan told us, from al-Aghar ibn al-Sabbah, from Khalifah ibn Husayn, from Qays ibn Asim, that when he accepted Islam, the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, instructed him to perform a ritual bath with water and lotus leaves. A report on this subject is also related from Abu Hurayrah. Abu Isa said: This hadith is hasan; we know it only through this route. Scholars acted upon it and considered it recommended for a man who accepts Islam to perform a ritual bath and wash his clothes.
