حدثنا ابو الحسن احمد بن محمد بن إسماعيل بن مهران حدثنا ابي، حدثنا سليم بن منصور بن عمار، حدثنا ابي، عن معروف ابي الخطاب، عن واثلة بن الاسقع قال: لما اسلمت اتيت النبي ﷺ، فقال لي:"اذهب فاغتسل بماء وسدر، والق عنك شعر الكفر"، ومسح رسول الله ﷺ على راسي (1). ذكر عبد الله بن ابي اوفى الاسلمي ﵁-
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Wathilah bin al-Asqa' (may Allah be pleased with him) that when I accepted Islam, I came to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), and he (peace and blessings be upon him) said to me: "Go and take a bath with water and lote-tree leaves (sidr), and shave off from your body the hair of disbelief (from the days of ignorance)," and the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) passed his blessed hand over my head.

(1) إسناده ضعيف بمرّةٍ، منصور بن عمار ومعروف أبو الخطاب ليسا بالقويَّين منكرا الحديث.
Reference / Source: It was narrated by al-Tabarani (al-Kabir 22/ 199, al-Saghir 880), Abu al-Shaykh in "Tabaqat al-Muhaddithin bi-Asbahan" (469), Abu Nu'aym in "al-Hilyah" (9/ 329) and "Akhbar Asbahan" (2/ 37 - 38), and Ibn 'Asakir (62/ 355 and 356), via various routes from Sulaym bin Mansur, with this chain.
وأخرجه الطبراني في "الكبير" 22/ (199)، و "الصغير" (880)، وأبو الشيخ في "طبقات المحدثين بأصبهان" (469)، وأبو نعيم في "الحلية" 9/ 329، و"أخبار أصبهان" 2/ 37 - 38، وابن عساكر 62/ 355 و 356 من طرق عن سليم بن منصور، بهذا الإسناد.
Corroborating chains and supporting reports: A similar narration is reported from Qatadah al-Rahawi in Ibn Abi 'Asim's "al-Ahad wa al-Mathani" (2618) and al-Tabarani's "al-Kabir" (19/ 20), via Qatadah bin al-Fudayl — also said to be al-Fadl bin 'Abd Allah bin Qatadah al-Rahawi — from his father al-Fudayl, from his father's uncle Hisham bin Qatadah, from his father Qatadah al-Rahawi: that he accepted Islam, and the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said to him: "O Qatadah, take a bath …", and he mentioned the like of it.
Grading: This chain is weak.
Technical note / Defect ('illah): The reason for its weakness is that al-Fudayl and his uncle Hisham bin Qatadah are majhul (unknown). Several people narrated from Qatadah bin al-Fudayl, but his being declared thiqah is not reported from anyone other than Ibn Hibban, and Ibn Abi Hatim reported from his father that he said he is merely a "shaykh" (i.e. not strong); therefore he is "majhul al-hal" (of unknown condition).

وروي مثله عن قتادة الرهاوي عند ابن أبي عاصم في "الآحاد والمثاني" (2618)، والطبراني في "الكبير" 19 / (20) من طريق قتادة بن الفُضيل - وقيل: الفضل بن عبد الله بن قتادة الرهاوي - عن أبيه الفضيل، عن عمِّ أبيه هشام بن قتادة، عن أبيه قتادة الرهاوي: أنه أسلم فقال له النبي ﷺ: "يا قتادة، اغتسل … " وذكر مثله. وهذا إسناد ضعيف لجهالة الفضيل وعم أبيه هشام بن قتادة، وقتادة بن الفضيل روى عنه غير واحد ولم يؤثر توثيقه عن غير ابن حبان، وذكر ابن أبي حاتم في الجرح والتعديل 7/ 135 عن أبيه أنه قال فيه: شيخ. قلنا: فهو مجهول الحال.

وعن كليب الجهني: أنه جاء إلى النبي ﷺ فقال: قد أسلمتُ، فقال: "ألقِ عنك شعر الكفر" يقول: احلق. أخرجه أحمد 24/ (15432)، وأبو داود (356)، وإسناده غاية في الضعف كما قال ابن القطان في "بيان الوهم والإيهام" 5/ 43.
Note / Clarification: "Sidr" is the lote tree (nabiq). Its leaves are ground, mixed with water and used for cleaning and washing.
والسِّدْر: شجرة النَّبِق، يُخلَط ورقها بعد طحنه مع الماء ويُستعمَل في التنظيف.
