Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "None of you should perform ghusl of janabah in standing water." Abu Sa’ib (may Allah have mercy on him) asked: "Abu Hurairah! Then how should he perform ghusl?" He replied: "He should take water with his hands and bathe."
