Musnad Ahmad 14430

Translation

✧ Your cousin al-Hasan b. Muhammad asked me about the major ablution (ghusl al-janabah), so I said: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to pour water with his hands over his head three times. He said: 'But I have a lot of hair.' I said: 'Enough, O son of my brother! The hair of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ was more abundant than your hair and better.'
