Arabic (Original)
حَدَّثَنَا حُسَيْنُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ حَدَّثَنَا أَيُّوبُ بْنُ جَابِرٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ يَعْنِي ابْنَ عِصْمَةَ عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ قَالَ كَانَتْ الصَّلَاةُ خَمْسِينَ وَالْغُسْلُ مِنْ الْجَنَابَةِ سَبْعَ مِرَارٍ وَالْغُسْلُ مِنْ الْبَوْلِ سَبْعَ مِرَارٍ فَلَمْ يَزَلْ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَسْأَلُ حَتَّى جُعِلَتْ الصَّلَاةُ خَمْسًا وَالْغُسْلُ مِنْ الْجَنَابَةِ مَرَّةً وَالْغُسْلُ مِنْ الْبَوْلِ مَرَّةً.
English Translation
Husayn ibn Muhammad told us: Ayyub ibn Jabir told us, from Abdullah, meaning Ibn Ismah, from Ibn Umar, who said: The prayer was fifty times a day, and the ritual bath from major impurity was seven times, and the washing from urine was seven times. The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, kept asking for reduction until the prayer was made five, the ritual bath from major impurity once, and the washing from urine once.
