Arabic Text

حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَشَّارٍ، حَدَّثَنَا عُثْمَانُ بْنُ عُمَرَ، أَنْبَأَنَا يُونُسُ، عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ، قَالَ قَالَ سَهْلُ بْنُ سَعْدٍ السَّاعِدِيُّ أَنْبَأَنَا أُبَىُّ بْنُ كَعْبٍ، قَالَ إِنَّمَا كَانَتْ رُخْصَةً فِي أَوَّلِ الإِسْلاَمِ ثُمَّ أُمِرْنَا بِالْغُسْلِ بَعْدُ ‏.‏

English Translation

"That was a concession that was granted in the early days of Islam, then we were commanded to have a bathe after that."
