The Importance of Proper Ghusl

SUMMARY: This hadith is about the importance of performing ghusl (ritual bath) properly and thoroughly.

It was narrated from Zadhan that 'Ali (رضي الله عنه) said: I heard the Prophet say: "Whoever leaves a space the size of a hair on his side when doing ghusl for janabah and does not make water reach it, Allah will punish him with such and such of fire'. 'Ali (رضي الله عنه) said: From that time I disliked my head (ie, hair).
حَدَّثَنَا عَفَّانُ، حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ، أَخْبَرَنَا عَطَاءُ بْنُ السَّائِبِ، عَنْ زَاذَانَ، أَنَّ عَلِيَّ بْنَ أَبِي طَالِبٍ، رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ النَّبِيَّ يَقُولُ مَنْ تَرَكَ مَوْضِعَ شَعَرَةٍ مِنْ جَسَدِهِ مِنْ جَنَابَةٍ لَمْ يُصِبْهَا الْمَاءُ فُعِلَ بِهِ كَذَا وَكَذَا مِنْ النَّارِ قَالَ عَلِيٌّ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ فَمِنْ ثَمَّ عَادَيْتُ رَأْسِي‏.‏

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith emphasizes the importance of performing ghusl properly when one is in a state of janabah. It was narrated from Zadhan that 'Ali ibn Abi Talib said that he heard the Prophet Muhammad say that whoever leaves a space the size of a hair on his side when doing ghusl for janabah and does not make water reach it, Allah will punish him with such and such fire. From then on, 'Ali disliked his head or hair because he was afraid to leave any part unclean during his ritual bath. This hadith teaches us to be thorough in our ablutions so as to avoid punishment from Allah for leaving any part unclean during our ritual baths.
