The Ritual Bath of Jumu’ah, Entering the Bathhouse, Its Etiquette, and Teachings on Cleanliness and Beautification

فَقَدْ رَوَى اَلْحَسَنُ بْنُ مُوسَى بْنِ جَعْفَرٍ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ عَنْ أُمِّهِ وَ أُمِّ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُوسَى عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ قَالَتَا: كُنَّا مَعَ أَبِي اَلْحَسَنِ مُوسَى بْنِ جَعْفَرٍ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ فِي اَلْبَادِيَةِ وَ نَحْنُ نُرِيدُ بَغْدَادَ فَقَالَ لَنَا يَوْمَ اَلْخَمِيسِ «اِغْتَسِلاَ اَلْيَوْمَ لِغَدٍ يَوْمِ اَلْجُمُعَةِ فَإِنَّ اَلْمَاءَ غَداً بِهَا قَلِيلٌ» قَالَتَا فَاغْتَسَلْنَا يَوْمَ اَلْخَمِيسِ لِلْجُمُعَةِ.
Al-Hasan ibn Musa ibn Jafar narrated from his mother and Umm Ahmad bint Musa عليه السلام who said: "We were both with Imam Musa ibn Jafar Al-Kadhim عليه السلام in the desert while we were heading to Baghdad, and on Thursday He عليه السلام said to us, 'Perform ghusl today for tomorrow, Jumu’ah, because water will be scarce tomorrow.' They said: So we performed ghusl on Thursday for Jumu’ah.
