Q
What can be learned from the interaction between Jabir bin Abdullah and the people regarding personal practices and religious guidance?
A
While I and my father were with Jabir bin `Abdullah, some people asked him about taking a bath. He
replied, “A Sa` of water is sufficient for you.” A man said, “A Sa` is not sufficient for me.” Jabir said,
“A Sa` was sufficient for one who had more hair than you and was better than you (meaning the
Prophet).” And then Jabir (put on) his garment and led the prayer.
