Sunan Ibn Majah 467 (Book 1, Hadith 201) #29819
Refusing Offers of Assistance

SUMMARY: The Prophet Muhammad refused to use a piece of cloth offered by his aunt Maimunah when he was taking a bath.

Ibn 'Abbas narrated that his maternal aunt Maimunah said: "I brought a piece of cloth (for drying) to the Messenger of Allah when he performed a bath to cleanse himself from sexual impurity. He refused it and began to shake off water".
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ، وَعَلِيُّ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ، قَالاَ حَدَّثَنَا وَكِيعٌ، حَدَّثَنَا الأَعْمَشُ، عَنْ سَالِمِ بْنِ أَبِي الْجَعْدِ، عَنْ كُرَيْبٍ، حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ، عَنْ خَالَتِهِ، مَيْمُونَةَ قَالَتْ أَتَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ـ ـ بِثَوْبٍ حِينَ اغْتَسَلَ مِنَ الْجَنَابَةِ فَرَدَّهُ وَجَعَلَ يَنْفُضُ الْمَاءَ
