The Prophet's Water Usage for Ablution and Bathing

SUMMARY: The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) took a bath with five Makkuks of water and performed ablution with one Makkuk.

Anas reported that the Messenger of Allah (may peace he upon him) took a bath with five Makkuks of water and performed ablution with one Makkuk. Ibn Muthanna has used the words five Makakiyya, and Ibn Mu'adh narrated it from 'Abdullah b. 'Abdullah and he made no mention of Ibn Jabr.
حَدَّثَنَا عُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مُعَاذٍ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبِي ح، وَحَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْمُثَنَّى، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ، - يَعْنِي ابْنَ مَهْدِيٍّ - قَالاَ حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ جَبْرٍ، قَالَ سَمِعْتُ أَنَسًا، يَقُولُ كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ يَغْتَسِلُ بِخَمْسِ مَكَاكِيكَ وَيَتَوَضَّأُ بِمَكُّوكٍ ‏.‏ وَقَالَ ابْنُ الْمُثَنَّى بِخَمْسِ مَكَاكِيَّ ‏.‏ وَقَالَ ابْنُ مُعَاذٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ وَلَمْ يَذْكُرِ ابْنَ جَبْرٍ

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about the water usage of the beloved prophet Muhammad ﷺ for ablution and bathing. It is reported by Anas ibn Malik that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ took a bath with five Makkuks of water and performed ablution with one Makkuk. A makkuk is an Arabic unit of measurement which equals to approximately four liters. This hadith teaches us that even though we are allowed to use as much water as we need for our ablutions or baths, it is important to be mindful about how much we use so that we don't waste it unnecessarily. We should also remember that our beloved prophet ﷺ was very conscious about his own usage of water in order to set an example for us all.
