Hadith 9
The Book of Purification
Narrated Jabir bin 'Abdullah (RAA):
concerning the man who had a head injury, and then he made Ghusl and died: Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) Peace be upon him said, "It would have been enough for him to perform Tayammum and wrap it with something and wipe over the wrapping and wash the rest of his body." [Reported by Abu Da'ud, but there is a weakness in its chain of narrators]
{ وَعَنْ جَابِرٍ]بْنُ عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ] رَضِيَ اَللَّهُ عَنْهُمَا فِي اَلرَّجُلِ اَلَّذِي شُجَّ, فَاغْتَسَلَ فَمَاتَ -:
إِنَّمَا كَانَ يَكْفِيهِ أَنْ يَتَيَمَّمَ, وَيَعْصِبَ عَلَى جُرْحِهِ خِرْقَةً, ثُمَّ يَمْسَحَ عَلَيْهَا وَيَغْسِلَ سَائِرَ جَسَدِهِ
