حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو نُعَيْمٍ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا مِسْعَرٌ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي ابْنُ جَبْرٍ، قَالَ سَمِعْتُ أَنَسًا، يَقُولُ كَانَ النَّبِيُّ يَغْسِلُ ـ أَوْ كَانَ يَغْتَسِلُ ـ بِالصَّاعِ إِلَى خَمْسَةِ أَمْدَادٍ، وَيَتَوَضَّأُ بِالْمُدِّ‏.‏

Be mindful about your use of resources in your daily life.

EXPLANATIONS:
According to the hadith narrated by Anas, the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ used to take a bath, known as ghusl in Arabic, with one sa' up to five mudds of water. A sa' is an ancient unit of measurement that is equivalent to four mudds. He also used to perform wudu', or ablution, with one mudd of water. This hadith teaches us that the Prophet ﷺ was mindful about his use of resources and did not waste any excess amounts of water when performing his daily rituals. It also serves as an example for us on how we should be mindful about our own use of resources in our daily lives.
