حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْوَلِيدِ الدِّمَشْقِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو مُسْهِرٍ، عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الْعَزِيزِ، فِي ‏ "‏ غَسَّلَ وَاغْتَسَلَ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ قَالَ قَالَ سَعِيدٌ غَسَّلَ رَأْسَهُ وَغَسَلَ جَسَدَهُ ‏.‏

One should wash one's head and body well (And not that one should make one's wife wash).
