Musnad Ahmad 572 (Book 5, Hadith 11) #34237
Sharing a Vessel for Bathing

SUMMARY: The Prophet Muhammad and his wife used to share the same vessel for bathing.

It was narrated that 'Ali (رضي الله عنه) said: The Messenger of Allah and his wife used to do ghusl from the same vessel.
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو سَعِيدٍ، حَدَّثَنَا إِسْرَائِيلُ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو إِسْحَاقَ، عَنِ الْحَارِثِ، عَنْ عَلِيٍّ، رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ وَأَهْلُهُ يَغْتَسِلُونَ مِنْ إِنَاءٍ وَاحِدٍ‏.‏

Share a single container while taking bath
EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith tells us that the Prophet Muhammad and his wife used to share the same vessel when they performed ghusl, or ritual ablution. This is an example of how close they were as a couple, and how much respect they had for each other. It also shows us that even though it was not common practice at the time, it was acceptable in Islam for couples to share a vessel when performing ghusl. Furthermore, this hadith teaches us about modesty and humility; by sharing one vessel instead of two separate ones, the Prophet Muhammad showed that he did not need any extra luxuries or extravagance in order to perform his religious duties properly.
