أَخْبَرَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا اللَّيْثُ، عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ، عَنْ عُرْوَةَ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ، أَنَّهَا قَالَتْ كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ يَغْتَسِلُ فِي الْقَدَحِ وَهُوَ الْفَرَقُ وَكُنْتُ أَغْتَسِلُ أَنَا وَهُوَ فِي إِنَاءٍ وَاحِدٍ

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith narrated by 'Aishah tells us that the Prophet Muhammad and his wife used to perform Ghusl together using a single vessel which was the size of sixteen Ratls. This shows us how much importance was given to modesty in Islam as even when performing ritual baths, they would use one vessel instead of two separate ones. It also teaches us about being economical and not wasting resources unnecessarily. Furthermore, it is an example for couples on how they should be modest with each other even in private moments such as taking a bath together.
