Sunan Abi Da'ud · Hadith 349

حدثنا محمود بن خالد الدمشقي، أخبرنا مروان، حدثنا علي بن حوشب، قال سألت مكحولا عن هذا القول، ‏"‏ غسل واغتسل ‏"‏ ‏.‏ فقال غسل رأسه وغسل جسده ‏.‏

Makhul was asked about the meaning of words ghassala and ightasala (that occur in tradition 345) and he said: one should was one's head and body well (and not than one should makes one's wife wash).
