Hadith 69
Hadith.69 - Abu Al-Hasan Imam Musa ibn Jafar Al-Kadhim (as) said: "For ghusl (ritual washing), a saa' of water is required, and for wudu (ablution), a mud of water is sufficient. The saa' of The Prophet (sw) is five amdad (measures), and the mud weighs two hundred and eighty dirhams. One dirham is six danaq (small units), and one danaq weighs six grains. The grain should be from medium-quality barley, not from the small or large types”.
