9. Purification
Sahih Ibn Hibban 1037Hasan sahih
«سَدِّدُوا وَقَارِبُوا وَاعْلَمُوا أَنَّ خَيْرَ أَعْمَالِكُمُ الصَّلَاةُ وَلَا يُحَافِظُ عَلَى الْوُضُوءِ إِلَّا مُؤْمِنٌ»
"The Messenger of Allah said: 'Adhere to righteousness even though you will not be able to do all acts of virtue. Know that the best of your deeds is Salat (prayer) and that no one maintains his ablution except a believer.'" (Using translation from Ibn Mājah 277)
«أَلَا أَدُلُّكُمْ عَلَى مَا يَمْحُو اللَّهُ بِهِ الْخَطَايَا وَيُكَفَّرُ بِهِ الذُّنُوبَ؟ » قَالُوا بَلَى يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ قَالَ «إِسْبَاغُ الْوُضُوءِ عَلَى الْمَكْرُوهَاتِ وَكَثْرَةُ الْخُطَا إِلَى الْمَسَاجِدِ وَانْتِظَارُ الصَّلَاةِ بَعْدَ الصَّلَاةِ فَذَلِكَ الرِّبَاطُ»
✧ Shall I not guide you to that by which Allah erases sins and expiates misdeeds? They said: Yes, O Messenger of Allah. He said: Perfecting ablution in adverse conditions, taking many steps to the mosques, and waiting for prayer after prayer. That is the ribat.
«إِذَا تَوَضَّأَ الْعَبْدُ الْمُسْلِمُ أَوِ الْمُؤْمِنُ فَغَسَلَ وَجْهَهُ خَرَجَتْ مِنْ وَجْهِهِ كُلُّ خَطِيئَةٍ نَظَرَ إِلَيْهَا بِعَيْنَيْهِ مَعَ الْمَاءِ وَمَعَ آخِرِ قَطْرِ الْمَاءِ أَوْ نَحْوَ هَذَا فَإِذَا غَسَلَ يَدَيْهِ خَرَجَتْ مِنْ يَدَيْهِ كُلُّ خَطِيئَةٍ بَطَشَتْهَا يَدَاهُ مَعَ الْمَاءِ أَوْ مَعَ آخِرِ قَطْرِ الْمَاءِ حَتَّى يَخْرُجَ نَقِيًّا مِنَ الذُّنُوبِ»
✧ When a Muslim or believing servant performs ablution and washes his face, every sin that his eyes looked upon leaves his face with the water or with the last drop of water. When he washes his hands, every sin that his hands committed leaves his hands with the water or with the last drop of water, until he emerges cleansed of sins.
Sahih Ibn Hibban 1041No grade recorded
أَنَّ عُثْمَانَ بْنَ عَفَّانَ جَلَسَ عَلَى الْمَقَاعِدِ فَجَاءَهُ الْمُؤَذِّنُ فَآذَنَهُ بِصَلَاةِ الْعَصْرِ فَدَعَا بِمَاءٍ فَتَوَضَّأَ ثُمَّ قَالَ لَأُحَدِّثَنَّكُمْ حَدِيثًا لَوْلَا آيَةٌ فِي كِتَابِ اللَّهِ لَمَّا حَدَّثْتُكُمُوهُ ثُمَّ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ «مَا مِنِ امْرِئٍ يَتَوَضَّأُ فَيُحْسِنُ الْوُضُوءَ ثُمَّ يُصَلِّي الصَّلَاةَ إِلَّا غُفِرَ لَهُ مَا بَيْنَهُ وَبَيْنَ الصَّلَاةِ الْأُخْرَى حَتَّى يُصَلِّيَهَا»
✧ Uthman b. Affan sat on the benches, and the muezzin came and announced the afternoon prayer. He called for water and performed ablution, then said: I will narrate to you a hadith that, were it not for a verse in the Book of Allah, I would not have narrated to you. Then he said: I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say: There is no person who performs ablution and perfects it, then prays a prayer, except that he is forgiven for what is between it and the next prayer until he prays it.
أَنَّهُمْ غَزَوْا غَزْوَةَ السَّلَاسِلِ فَفَاتَهُمُ الْعَدُوُّ فَرَابَطُوا ثُمَّ رَجَعُوا إِلَى مُعَاوِيَةَ وَعِنْدَهُ أَبُو أَيُّوبَ وَعُقْبَةُ بْنُ عَامِرٍ فَقَالَ عَاصِمٌ يَا أَبَا أَيُّوبَ فَاتَنَا الْعَدُوُّ الْعَامَ وَقَدْ
✧ They raided the campaign of al-Salasil, and the enemy slipped away from them, so they stayed on guard, then returned to Mu'awiyah, and with him were Abu Ayyub and Uqbah b. Amir. Asim said: O Abu Ayyub, the enemy slipped away from us this year, and…
«مَنْ أَتَمَّ الْوُضُوءَ كَمَا أَمَرَهُ اللَّهُ جَلَّ وَعَلَا فَالصَّلَوَاتُ الْخَمْسُ كَفَّارَةٌ لِمَا بَيْنَهُنَّ»
✧ Whoever completes ablution as Allah, Mighty and Exalted, commanded him, the five prayers are an expiation for what is between them.
كُنْتُ مَعَ عُثْمَانَ بْنِ عَفَّانَ فَدَعَا بِطَهُورٍ فَقَالَ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ «مَا مِنِ امْرِئٍ مُسْلِمٍ تَحْضُرُهُ الصَّلَاةُ الْمَكْتُوبَةُ فَيُحْسِنُ وُضُوءَهَا وَرُكُوعَهَا وَخُشُوعَهَا إِلَّا كَانَتْ كَفَّارَةً لِمَا قَبْلَهَا مِنَ الذُّنُوبِ مَا لَمْ يَأْتِ كَبِيرَةً وَذَلِكَ الدَّهْرَ كُلَّهُ»
✧ I was with Uthman b. Affan, and he called for water for purification and said: I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say: There is no Muslim person for whom the prescribed prayer arrives, and he perfects its ablution, bowing, and humility, except that it is an expiation for the sins before it, as long as he does not commit a major sin, and that for all time.
«تَبْلُغُ حِلْيَةُ أَهْلِ الْجَنَّةِ مَبْلَغَ الْوُضُوءِ»
✧ The adornment of the people of Paradise reaches as far as the ablution reaches.
أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ دَخَلَ الْمَقْبَرَةَ فَقَالَ «السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكُمْ دَارَ قَوْمٍ مُؤْمِنِينَ وَإِنَّا إِنْ شَاءَ اللَّهُ بِكُمْ لَاحِقُونَ وَدِدْتُ أَنِّي قَدْ رَأَيْتُ إِخْوَانَنَا» قَالُوا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَلَسْنَا إِخْوَانَكَ؟ قَالَ «بَلْ أَصْحَابِي وَإِخْوَانُنَا الَّذِينَ لَمْ يَأْتُوا بَعْدُ وَأَنَا فَرَطُكُمْ عَلَى الْحَوْضِ» قَالُوا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ كَيْفَ تَعْرِفُ مَنْ يَأْتِي بَعْدَكَ مِنْ أُمَّتِكَ؟ فَقَالَ «أَرَأَيْتَ لَوْ كَانَتْ لِرَجُلٍ خَيْلٌ غُرٌّ مُحَجَّلَةٌ فِي خَيْلٍ دُهْمٍ بُهْمٍ أَلَا يَعْرِفُ خَيْلَهُ؟ » قَالُوا بَلَى يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ قَالَ «فَإِنَّهُمْ يَأْتُونَ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ غُرًّا مُحَجَّلِينَ مِنَ الْوُضُوءِ وَأَنَا فَرَطُهُمْ عَلَى الْحَوْضِ فَلَيُذَادَنَّ رِجَالٌ عَنْ حَوْضِي كَمَا يُذَادُ الْبَعِيرُ الضَّالُّ أُنَادِيهِمْ أَلَا هَلُمَّ أَلَا هَلُمَّ فَيُقَالُ إِنَّهُمْ قَدْ بَدَّلُوا بَعْدَكَ فَأَقُولُ فَسُحْقًا فَسُحْقًا فَسُحْقًا»
“Peace be upon you, abode of believing people. We will join you soon, if Allah wills.” Then he said: “Would that we could see our brothers.” They said: “O Messenger of Allah, are we not your brothers?” He said: “You are my Companions. My brothers are those who will come after me. I will reach the Cistern ahead of you.” They said: “O Messenger of Allah, how will you recognize those of your nation who have not yet come?” He said: “If a man has a horse with a blaze on its forehead and white feet, don’t you think that he will recognize it among horses that are deep black in color?” They said: “Of course.” He said: “On the Day of Resurrection they will come with radiant faces, hands, and feet, because of the traces of ablution.” He said: “I will reach the Cistern ahead of you.” Then he said: “Men will be driven away from my Cistern just as stray camels are driven away. And I will call to them: ‘Come here!’ But it will be said: ‘They changed after you were gone, and they kept turning on their heels.’ So I will say: “Be off with you!” (Using translation from Ibn Mājah 4306)
Sahih Ibn Hibban 1047Hasan sahih
أَنَّهُمْ قَالُوا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ كَيْفَ تَعْرِفُ مَنْ لَمْ تَرَ مِنْ أُمَّتِكَ؟ قَالَ «غُرٌّ مُحَجَّلُونَ بُلْقٌ مِنْ آثَارِ الطُّهُورِ»
✧ They said: O Messenger of Allah, how will you recognize those of your community whom you have not seen? He said: They will have white blazes on their foreheads and white marks on their limbs from the traces of purification.
«تَرِدُونَ غُرًّا مُحَجَّلِينَ مِنَ الْوُضُوءِ سِيمَا أُمَّتِي لَيْسَ لِأَحَدٍ غَيْرِهَا»
✧ You will come with white blazes and white marks from ablution, a distinguishing mark of my community that no one else has.
رَأَى أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ يَتَوَضَّأُ فَغَسَلَ وَجْهَهُ وَيَدَيْهِ حَتَّى كَادَ يَبْلُغَ الْمَنْكِبَيْنِ ثُمَّ غَسَلَ رِجْلَيْهِ حَتَّى رَفَعَ إِلَى السَّاقَيْنِ ثُمَّ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ «إِنَّ أُمَّتِي يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ غُرٌّ مُحَجَّلُونَ مِنْ أَثَرِ الْوُضُوءِ» فَمَنِ اسْتَطَاعَ مِنْكُمْ أَنْ يُطِيلَ غُرَّتَهُ فَلْيَفْعَلْ
✧ He saw Abu Hurayrah performing ablution, washing his face and hands until he almost reached the shoulders, then washing his feet up to the shins, then said: I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say: My community on the Day of Resurrection will have white blazes and white marks from the traces of ablution. So whoever among you can extend his blaze, let him do so.
كُنَّا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ خُدَّامَ أَنْفُسِنَا نَتَنَاوَبُ الرِّعْيَةَ رِعْيَةَ إِبِلِنَا فَكُنْتُ عَلَى رِعْيَةِ الْإِبِلِ فَرُحْتُهَا بِعَشِيٍّ فَأَدْرَكْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَخْطُبُ النَّاسَ فَسَمِعْتُهُ يَقُولُ «مَا مِنْكُمْ مِنْ أَحَدٍ يَتَوَضَّأُ فَيُحْسِنُ الْوُضُوءَ ثُمَّ يَقُومُ فَيَرْكَعُ رَكْعَتَيْنِ يُقْبِلُ عَلَيْهِمَا بِقَلْبِهِ وَوَجْهِهِ فَقَدْ أَوْجَبَ» قَالَ فَقُلْتُ مَا أَجْوَدَ هَذِهِ فَقَالَ رَجُلٌ الَّذِي قَبْلَهَا أَجْوَدُ فَنَظَرْتُ فَإِذَا هُوَ عُمَرُ بْنُ الْخَطَّابِ قُلْتُ مَا هُوَ يَا أَبَا حَفْصٍ؟ قَالَ إِنَّهُ قَالَ آنِفًا قَبْلَ أَنْ تَجِيءَ «مَا مِنْ أَحَدٍ يَتَوَضَّأُ فَيُحْسِنُ الْوُضُوءَ ثُمَّ يَقُولُ حِينَ يَفْرُغُ مِنْ وَضُوئِهِ أَشْهَدُ أَنْ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ وَحْدَهُ لَا شَرِيكَ لَهُ وَأَنَّ مُحَمَّدًا عَبْدُهُ وَرَسُولُهُ إِلَّا فُتِحَتْ أَبْوَابُ الْجَنَّةِ الثَّمَانِيَةِ لَهُ يَدْخُلُ مِنْ أَيِّهَا شَاءَ»
✧ We were with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ as servants of ourselves, taking turns grazing our camels. I was on camel-grazing duty, and I brought them back in the evening. I caught up with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ while he was addressing the people, and I heard him say: 'There is none of you who performs ablution and perfects it, then stands and performs two rak'ahs, turning to them with his heart and face, but that it becomes obligatory [for him to enter Paradise].' He said: So I said, 'How excellent is this!' A man said, 'The one before it is more excellent.' I looked, and there was Umar b. al-Khattab. I said, 'What is it, O Abu Hafs?' He said, 'He said just now, before you came: "There is no one who performs ablution and perfects it, then says when he finishes his ablution: 'I bear witness that there is no god but Allah alone, with no partner, and that Muhammad is His servant and Messenger,' but that the eight gates of Paradise are opened for him, and he may enter from whichever of them he wishes."'"
Sahih Ibn Hibban 1051Hasan sahih
«مَنْ بَاتَ طَاهِرًا بَاتَ فِي شِعَارِهِ مَلَكٌ فَلَمْ يَسْتَيْقِظْ إِلَّا قَالَ الْمَلَكُ اللَّهُمَّ اغْفِرْ لِعَبْدِكَ فُلَانٍ فَإِنَّهُ بَاتَ طَاهِرًا»
✧ Whoever spends the night in a state of purity, an angel spends the night in his garment, and he does not awaken except that the angel says: 'O Allah, forgive Your servant so-and-so, for he spent the night in a state of purity.'
لَا أَقُولُ الْيَوْمَ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ مَا لَمْ يَقُلْ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ «مَنْ كَذَبَ عَلَيَّ مُتَعَمِّدًا فَلْيَتَبَوَّأْ بَيْتًا مِنْ جَهَنَّمَ»
✧ I will not say today about the Messenger of Allah ﷺ what he did not say. I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say: 'Whoever deliberately lies about me, let him take his seat in the Fire.'
وَسَمِعْتُ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ يَقُولُ «رَجُلٌ مِنْ أُمَّتِي يَقُومُ مِنَ اللَّيْلِ يُعَالِجُ نَفْسَهُ إِلَى الطَّهُورِ وَعَلَيْكُمْ عُقَدٌ فَإِذَا وَضَّأَ يَدَيْهِ انْحَلَّتْ عُقْدَةٌ فَإِذَا وَضَّأَ وَجْهَهُ انْحَلَّتْ عُقْدَةٌ وَإِذَا مَسَحَ رَأْسَهُ انْحَلَّتْ عُقْدَةٌ وَإِذَا وَضَّأَ رِجْلَيْهِ انْحَلَّتْ عُقْدَةٌ فَيَقُولُ اللَّهُ جَلَّ وَعَلَا لِلَّذِي وَرَاءَ الْحِجَابِ انْظُرُوا إِلَى عَبْدِي هَذَا يُعَالِجُ نَفْسَهُ لَيَسْأَلَنِي مَا سَأَلَنِي عَبْدِي هَذَا فَهُوَ لَهُ مَا سَأَلَنِي عَبْدِي هَذَا فَهُوَ لَهُ»
✧ And I heard the Prophet ﷺ say: 'A man from my community gets up at night, striving against himself to purify himself, while there are knots upon you. When he washes his hands, a knot is undone; when he washes his face, a knot is undone; when he wipes his head, a knot is undone; when he washes his feet, a knot is undone. Then Allah, Mighty and Exalted, says to those behind the veil: "Look at this servant of Mine, striving against himself. Whatever My servant asks Me, it is his; whatever My servant asks Me, it is his."'"
«أَلَا أُخْبِرُكُمْ بِمَا يَمْحُو اللَّهُ بِهِ الْخَطَايَا وَيَرْفَعُ بِهِ الدَّرَجَاتِ؟ إِسْبَاغُ الْوُضُوءُ عَلَى الْمَكَارِهِ وَكَثْرَةُ الْخُطَا إِلَى الْمَسَاجِدِ وَانْتِظَارُ الصَّلَاةِ بَعْدَ الصَّلَاةِ فَذَلِكُمُ الرِّبَاطُ فَذَلِكُمُ الرِّبَاطُ فَذَلِكُمُ الرِّبَاطُ»
✧ Shall I not inform you of that by which Allah erases sins and raises ranks? Perfecting ablution despite difficulties, taking many steps to the mosques, and waiting for prayer after prayer. That is the ribat; that is the ribat; that is the ribat.
كُنْتُ وَافِدَ بَنِي الْمُنْتَفِقِ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَقَدِمْنَا عَلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَلَمْ نُصَادِفْهُ فِي مَنْزِلِهِ وَصَادَفْنَا عَائِشَةَ فَأَمَرَتْ لَنَا بِخَزِيرَةٍ فَصُنِعَتْ وَأَتَتْنَا بِقِنَاعٍ وَالْقِنَاعُ الطَّبَقُ فِيهِ التَّمْرُ فَأَكَلْنَا فَجَاءَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ «هَلْ أَصَبْتُمْ شَيْئًا؟ أَوْ آمُرُ لَكُمْ بِشَيْءٍ؟ » قُلْنَا نَعَمْ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ
✧ I was the envoy of Banu al-Muntafiq to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. We arrived at the Messenger of Allah ﷺ but did not find him in his house; instead, we found Aishah. She ordered a khazirah (a kind of soup) for us, and it was prepared. She brought us a qina' - and the qina' is a tray - with dates on it. We ate. Then the Messenger of Allah ﷺ came and said: 'Have you had anything? Or shall I order something for you?' We said: 'Yes, O Messenger of Allah.'
رَجَعْنَا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ مِنْ مَكَّةَ إِلَى الْمَدِينَةِ حَتَّى إِذَا كُنَّا بِبَعْضِ الطَّرِيقِ تَعَجَّلَ قَوْمٌ عِنْدَ الْعَصْرِ فَتَوَضَّؤُوا وَهُمْ عِجَالٌ قَالَ فَانْتَهَيْنَا إِلَيْهِمْ وَأَعْقَابُهُمْ تَلُوحُ لَمْ يَمَسَّهَا الْمَاءُ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «وَيْلٌ لِلْأَعْقَابِ مِنَ النَّارِ أَسْبِغُوا الْوُضُوءَ»
✧ We returned with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ from Makkah to Madinah. When we were partway, some people hurried at the time of Asr and performed ablution hastily. He said: We reached them while their heels were gleaming, untouched by water. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: 'Woe to the heels from the Fire! Complete the ablution.'
صَلَّى عَلِيُّ بْنُ أَبِي طَالِبٍ رِضْوَانُ اللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ الْفَجْرَ ثُمَّ دَخَلَ الرَّحَبَةَ فَدَخَلْنَا مَعَهُ فَدَعَا بِوَضُوءٍ فَأَتَاهُ الْغُلَامُ بِإِنَاءٍ فِيهِ مَاءٌ وَطَسْتٍ فَأَخَذَ الْإِنَاءَ بِيَمِينِهِ فَأَفْرَغَ عَلَى يَسَارِهِ فَغَسَلَهَا ثَلَاثَ مَرَّاتٍ غَسَلَ كَفَّيْهِ قَبْلَ أَنْ يُدْخِلَهُمَا الْإِنَاءَ ثُمَّ أَدْخَلَ يَدَهُ الْيُمْنَى فِي الْإِنَاءِ فَغَرَفَ مِنْهُ مَاءً فَمَلَأَ فَاهُ فَمَضْمَضَ وَاسْتَنْشَقَ ثَلَاثًا ثُمَّ أَدْخَلَ يَدَهُ فِي الْإِنَاءِ فَغَسَلَ وَجْهَهُ ثَلَاثًا وَذِرَاعَيْهِ ثَلَاثًا ثُمَّ مَسَحَ رَأْسَهُ بِيَدَيْهِ جَمِيعًا مُقَدَّمَهُ وَمُؤَخَّرَهُ ثُمَّ أَدْخَلَ الْيُمْنَى فَأَفْرَغَ عَلَى قَدَمِهِ الْيُمْنَى فَغَسَلَهَا ثُمَّ أَدْخَلَ يَدَهُ فِي الْإِنَاءِ ثُمَّ أَخْرَجَهَا فَغَسَلَ الْأُخْرَى ثُمَّ قَالَ «مَنْ أَحَبَّ أَنْ يَنْظُرَ إِلَى وُضُوءِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَهَذَا وُضُوؤُهُ»
✧ Ali b. Abi Talib, may Allah's pleasure be upon him, prayed Fajr, then entered the Rahbah, and we entered with him. He called for water for ablution, and the servant brought him a vessel containing water and a basin. He took the vessel with his right hand and poured it over his left hand, washing it three times, washing his palms before putting them into the vessel. Then he inserted his right hand into the vessel, scooped water, filled his mouth, and rinsed his mouth and sniffed water into his nostrils three times. Then he inserted his hand into the vessel and washed his face three times and his forearms three times. Then he wiped his head with both hands, front and back. Then he inserted his right hand, poured water over his right foot and washed it. Then he inserted his hand into the vessel, then took it out and washed the other foot. Then he said: 'Whoever loves to look at the ablution of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, this is his ablution.'
صَلَّيْتُ مَعَ عَلِيِّ بْنِ أَبِي طَالِبٍ رِضْوَانُ اللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ الظُّهْرَ ثُمَّ انْطَلَقَ إِلَى مَجْلِسٍ لَهُ كَانَ يَجْلِسُهُ فِي الرَّحَبَةِ فَقَعَدَ وَقَعَدْنَا حَوْلَهُ حَتَّى حَضَرَتِ الْعَصْرُ فَأُتِيَ بِإِنَاءٍ فِيهِ مَاءٌ فَأَخَذَ مِنْهُ كَفًّا فَتَمَضْمَضَ وَاسْتَنْشَقَ وَمَسَحَ وَجْهَهُ وَذِرَاعَيْهِ وَمَسَحَ بِرَأْسِهِ وَمَسَحَ رِجْلَيْهِ ثُمَّ قَامَ فَشَرِبَ فَضْلَ إِنَائِهِ ثُمَّ قَالَ «إِنِّي حُدِّثْتُ أَنَّ رِجَالًا يَكْرَهُونَ أَنْ يَشْرَبَ أَحَدُهُمْ وَهُوَ قَائِمٌ وَإِنِّي رَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَعَلَ كَمَا فَعَلْتُ وَهَذَا وُضُوءُ مَنْ لَمْ يُحْدِثْ»
✧ I prayed Zuhr with Ali b. Abi Talib, may Allah's pleasure be upon him; then he went to a gathering of his in the Rahbah and sat down, and we sat around him until Asr approached. A vessel of water was brought to him, and he took a handful from it, rinsed his mouth, sniffed water, wiped his face and forearms, wiped his head, and wiped his feet. Then he stood up and drank the leftover water from his vessel, then said: 'I have been told that some men dislike for one of them to drink while standing, but I saw the Messenger of Allah ﷺ do as I just did. This is the ablution of one who has not broken his wudu.'"
أَنَّ عُثْمَانَ بْنَ عَفَّانَ رِضْوَانُ اللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ دَعَا بِوَضُوءٍ فَتَوَضَّأَ وَغَسَلَ كَفَّهُ ثَلَاثَ مَرَّاتٍ ثُمَّ مَضْمَضَ وَاسْتَنْشَقَ ثُمَّ غَسَلَ وَجْهَهَ ثَلَاثَ مَرَّاتٍ ثُمَّ غَسَلَ يَدَهُ الْيُمْنَى إِلَى الْمِرْفَقِ ثَلَاثَ مَرَّاتٍ ثُمَّ غَسَلَ يَدَهُ الْيُسْرَى مِثْلَ ذَلِكَ ثُمَّ مَسَحَ بِرَأْسِهِ ثُمَّ غَسَلَ رِجْلَهُ الْيُمْنَى إِلَى الْكَعْبَيْنِ ثَلَاثَ مَرَّاتٍ ثُمَّ غَسَلَ رِجْلَهُ الْيُسْرَى مِثْلَ ذَلِكَ ثُمَّ قَالَ رَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ تَوَضَّأَ نَحْوَ وُضُوئِي هَذَا ثُمَّ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ « تَوَضَّأَ نَحْوَ وُضُوئِي هَذَا ثُمَّ قَامَ فَرَكَعَ رَكْعَتَيْنِ لَا يُحَدِّثُ فِيهِمَا نَفْسَهُ غَفَرَ اللَّهُ لَهُ مَا تَقَدَّمَ مِنْ ذَنْبِهِ»
✧ That Uthman b. Affan, may Allah's pleasure be upon him, called for water for ablution and performed ablution: he washed his palms three times, then rinsed his mouth and sniffed water, then washed his face three times, then washed his right arm up to the elbow three times, then washed his left arm likewise, then wiped his head, then washed his right foot up to the ankles three times, then washed his left foot likewise. Then he said: 'I saw the Messenger of Allah ﷺ perform ablution like my ablution here.' Then the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: 'Whoever performs ablution like my ablution here, then stands and prays two rak'ahs without letting his mind wander in them, his previous sins will be forgiven.'"

تَوَضَّأَ عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ عِنْدَ عَائِشَةَ فَقَالَتْ يَا عَبْدَ الرَّحْمَنِ أَسْبِغِ الْوُضُوءَ فَإِنِّي سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ «وَيْلٌ لِلْعَرَاقِيبِ مِنَ النَّارِ»
✧ Abd al-Rahman performed ablution in the presence of Aishah, and she said: 'O Abd al-Rahman, complete the ablution, for I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say: "Woe to the heels from the Fire."'"
«صَفْقَتَانِ فِي صَفْقَةٍ رِبًا
✧ 'Two transactions in one transaction are usury; acceptance of two opinions in one matter is a cause of error, and a man being the cause of two feuds is a sign of a weak mind.'

✧ When one of you wakes up from his sleep, let him not put his hand into the vessel until he washes it three times, for one of you does not know where his hand spent the night.
«إِذَا اسْتَيْقَظَ أَحَدُكُمْ مِنْ مَنَامِهِ فَلَا يَغْمِسَنَّ يَدَهُ فِي إِنَائِهِ حَتَّى يَغْسِلَهَا ثَلَاثًا فَإِنَّهُ لَا يَدْرِي أَيْنَ بَاتَتْ يَدُهُ»

✧ When one of you wakes up from his sleep, let him not dip his hand into the vessel until he washes it three times, for he does not know where his hand spent the night from him.
«أَكْثَرْتُ عَلَيْكُمْ فِي السِّوَاكِ»
✧ I have emphasized the siwak to you repeatedly.
«السِّوَاكُ مَطْهَرَةٌ لِلْفَمِ مَرْضَاةٌ لِلرَّبِّ»
✧ The siwak is a purification for the mouth and a cause of the Lord's pleasure.
«لَوْلَا أَنْ أَشُقَّ عَلَى أُمَّتِي لَأَمَرْتُهُمْ بِالسِّوَاكِ عِنْدَ كُلِّ صَلَاةٍ»
✧ Were it not that I would burden my community, I would have commanded them to use the siwak at every prayer.

✧ Were it not that I would burden my community, I would have commanded them to use the siwak with the ablution at every prayer.
«عَلَيْكُمْ بِالسِّوَاكِ فَإِنَّهُ مَطْهَرَةٌ لِلْفَمِ مَرْضَاةٌ لِلرَّبِّ ﷻ»
The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: ʿThe siwak is purifying for the mouth and pleasing to the Lord.” (Using translation from Aḥmad 62)

✧ I came to the Prophet ﷺ with me two men from the Ash'aris, one on my right and the other on my left, while the Messenger of Allah ﷺ was using the siwak. Both of them asked for a position of authority. I said, 'By the One who sent you with the truth, they did not inform me of what was in their minds, and I did not realize that they were seeking a position of authority.' It is as if I can see his siwak under his lip, which had receded. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, 'We do not, or we will not, seek help in our work from someone who desires it. But you go.' So he sent him to Yemen, then he sent Mu'adh b. Jabal after him.

Then he poured with his right hand three times over his right foot and washed it with his left hand. Then he poured with his right hand over his left foot three times and washed it with his left hand. Then he inserted his hand into the vessel, scooped with his palm, and drank from it. Then he said, 'This is the purification of the Prophet of Allah ﷺ. Whoever wishes to look at the purification of the Prophet of Allah ﷺ, this is his purification.'

✧ I know best how the Messenger of Allah ﷺ performed ablution. He performed it once each.
أَنَّهُ رَأَى عُثْمَانَ دَعَا بِوَضُوءٍ فَأَفْرَغَ عَلَى يَدَيْهِ مِنْ إِنَائِهِ فَغَسَلَهُمَا ثَلَاثَ مَرَّاتٍ ثُمَّ أَدْخَلَ يَمِينَهُ فِي الْوُضُوءِ فَتَمَضْمَضَ وَاسْتَنْشَقَ وَاسْتَنْثَرَ وَغَسَلَ وَجْهَهُ ثَلَاثًا وَيَدَيْهِ إِلَى الْمِرْفَقَيْنِ ثَلَاثَ مَرَّاتٍ ثُمَّ مَسَحَ بِرَأْسِهِ ثُمَّ غَسَلَ كُلَّ رِجْلٍ مِنْ رِجْلَيْهِ ثَلَاثَ مَرَّاتٍ ثُمَّ قَالَ «رَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَتَوَضَّأُ نَحْوَ وُضُوئِي هَذَا» ثُمَّ قَالَ «مَنْ تَوَضَّأَ مِثْلَ وُضُوئِي هَذَا ثُمَّ قَامَ فَصَلَّى رَكْعَتَيْنِ لَا يُحَدِّثُ فِيهِمَا نَفْسَهُ غُفِرَ لَهُ مَا تَقَدَّمَ مِنْ ذَنْبِهِ»
✧ That he saw Uthman call for water for ablution and pour it over his hands from his vessel, washing them three times. Then he inserted his right hand into the water, rinsed his mouth, sniffed water, blew it out, washed his face three times, and his arms up to the elbows three times. Then he wiped his head, then washed each of his feet three times. Then he said: 'I saw the Messenger of Allah ﷺ perform ablution like my ablution here.' Then he said: 'Whoever performs ablution like my ablution here, then stands and prays two rak'ahs without letting his mind wander in them, his previous sins will be forgiven.'"
«أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ قَاءَ فَأَفْطَرَ فَلَقِيتُ ثَوْبَانَ فِي مَسْجِدِ دِمَشْقَ فَذَكَرْتُ لَهُ ذَلِكَ فَقَالَ صَدَقَ أَنَا صَبَبْتُ لَهُ وَضُوءًا»
✧ The Prophet ﷺ vomited and broke his fast. I met Thawban in the mosque of Damascus and mentioned that to him. He said, 'He spoke the truth; I poured ablution water for him.'
قُلْتُ لِعَطَاءٍ أَيُّ حِينٍ أَحَبُّ إِلَيْكَ أَنْ أُصَلِّيَ لِلْعَتَمَةِ إِمَّا إِمَامًا وَإِمَّا خَلْوًا؟ فَقَالَ سَمِعْتُ ابْنَ عَبَّاسٍ يَقُولُ اعْتَمَّ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ بِالْعَتَمَةِ حَتَّى رَقَدَ النَّاسُ وَاسْتَيْقَظُوا وَرَقَدُوا وَاسْتَيْقَظُوا فَقَالَ عُمَرُ ؓ الصَّلَاةَ الصَّلَاةَ فَخَرَجَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ كَأَنِّي أَنْظُرُ إِلَيْهِ الْآنَ تَقْطُرُ رَأْسُهُ مَاءً وَاضِعًا يَدَيْهِ عَلَى رَأْسِهِ فَقَالَ «لَوْلَا أَنْ أَشُقَّ عَلَى أُمَّتِي لَأَمَرْتُهُمْ أَنْ يُصَلُّوا هَكَذَا»
✧ I said to ʿAṭāʾ, “Which time do you prefer for me to pray the night prayer (al-ʿatamah), whether as an imam or alone?” He said, “I heard Ibn ʿAbbās say: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ delayed the night prayer until the people slept and woke, then slept and woke. Then ʿUmar ؓ said, ‘The prayer, the prayer.’ The Messenger of Allah ﷺ came out, and it is as if I am looking at him now, water dripping from his head, placing his hands on his head, and said, ‘Were it not that I would make it difficult for my community, I would have commanded them to pray like this.’”
أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ شُغِلَ ذَاتَ لَيْلَةٍ عَنْ صَلَاةِ الْعَتَمَةِ حَتَّى رَقَدْنَا فِي الْمَسْجِدِ ثُمَّ اسْتَيْقَظْنَا ثُمَّ رَقَدْنَا ثُمَّ اسْتَيْقَظْنَا ثُمَّ خَرَجَ فَقَالَ ﷺ «لَيْسَ يَنْتَظِرُ أَحَدٌ مِنْ أَهْلِ الْأَرْضِ الصَّلَاةَ غَيْرُكُمْ»
✧ The Prophet ﷺ was occupied one night from the night prayer until we slept in the mosque, then woke, then slept, then woke. Then he came out and said ﷺ, “No one on earth is waiting for the prayer except you.”
Sahih Ibn Hibban 1100Hasan sahih
أَتَيْتُ صَفْوَانَ بْنَ عَسَّالٍ الْمُرَادِيَّ فَقَالَ لِي مَا حَاجَتُكَ؟ قُلْتُ لَهُ ابْتِغَاءُ الْعِلْمِ قَالَ فَإِنَّ الْمَلَائِكَةَ تَضَعُ أَجْنِحَتَهَا لِطَالِبِ الْعِلْمِ رِضًى بِمَا يَطْلُبُ قُلْتُ حَكَّ فِي نَفْسِي الْمَسْحُ عَلَى الْخُفَّيْنِ بَعْدَ الْغَائِطِ وَالْبَوْلِ وَكُنْتُ امْرَأً مِنْ أَصْحَابِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَأَتَيْتُكَ أَسْأَلُكَ هَلْ سَمِعْتَ مِنْهُ فِي ذَلِكَ شَيْئًا؟ قَالَ «نَعَمْ كَانَ يَأْمُرُنَا إِذَا كُنَّا فِي سَفَرٍ أَوْ مُسَافِرِينَ أَنْ لَا نَنْزِعَ خِفَافَنَا ثَلَاثَةَ أَيَّامٍ وَلَيَالِيهِنَّ إِلَّا مِنْ جَنَابَةٍ لَكِنْ مِنْ غَائِطٍ وَبَوْلٍ وَنَوْمٍ»
✧ I came to Ṣafwān b. ʿAssāl al-Murādī, and he said to me, “What is your need?” I said, “Seeking knowledge.” He said, “Indeed, the angels lower their wings for the seeker of knowledge, pleased with what he seeks.” I said, “I have a doubt in myself about wiping over the leather socks after defecation and urination. I was one of the Companions of the Prophet ﷺ, so I came to ask you: Have you heard anything from him about that?” He said, “Yes. He used to command us, when we were traveling or on a journey, not to remove our leather socks for three days and their nights, except from major ritual impurity—but not from defecation, urination, or sleep.”
أَنَّ عَلِيَّ بْنَ أَبِي طَالِبٍ أَمَرَهُ أَنْ يَسْأَلَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ عَنِ الرَّجُلِ إِذَا دَنَا مِنْ أَهْلِهِ مَاذَا عَلَيْهِ؟ فَإِنْ عِنْدِي ابْنَتَهُ وَأَنَا أَسْتَحْيِي أَنْ أَسْأَلَهُ قَالَ الْمِقْدَادُ فَسَأَلْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ «إِذَا وَجَدَ ذَلِكَ فَلْيَنْضَحْ فَرْجَهُ وَلْيَتَوَضَّأْ وُضُوءَهُ لِلصَّلَاةِ»
✧ ʿAlī b. Abī Ṭālib ordered him to ask the Messenger of Allah ﷺ about a man when he approaches his wife: what is upon him? For his daughter is with me, and I am too shy to ask him. Al-Miqdād said: So I asked the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, and he said, “When he finds that, let him sprinkle his private part and perform ablution as he does for prayer.”
كُنْتُ رَجُلًا مَذَّاءً فَسَأَلْتُ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ فَقَالَ «إِذَا رَأَيْتَ الْمَذْيَ فَاغْسِلْ ذَكَرَكَ وَإِذَا رَأَيْتَ الْمَاءَ فَاغْتَسِلْ»
✧ I was a man who emitted madhy frequently, so I asked the Prophet ﷺ. He said, “When you see madhy, wash your penis; and when you see water (mani), perform ritual bathing.”
كُنْتُ أَلْقَى مِنَ الْمَذْيِ شِدَّةً فَكُنْتُ أُكْثِرُ الِاغْتِسَالَ مِنْهُ فَسَأَلْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ عَنْ ذَلِكَ فَقَالَ «إِنَّمَا يُجْزِئُكَ مِنْهُ الْوُضُوءُ» فَقُلْتُ فَكَيْفَ بِمَا يُصِيبُ ثَوْبِي مِنْهُ؟ قَالَ «يَكْفِيكَ أَنْ تَأْخُذَ كَفًّا مِنْ مَاءٍ فَتَنْضَحَ بِهَا مِنْ ثَوْبِكَ حَيْثُ تَرَى أَنَّهُ أَصَابَهُ»
✧ I used to suffer greatly from madhy, so I would bathe frequently because of it. I asked the Messenger of Allah ﷺ about that, and he said, “Ablution suffices you for it.” I said, “What about what gets on my garment from it?” He said, “It is enough for you to take a handful of water and sprinkle it on your garment wherever you think it has touched.”
كُنْتُ رَجُلًا مَذَّاءً فَسَأَلْتُ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ فَقَالَ «إِذَا رَأَيْتَ الْمَاءَ فَاغْسِلْ ذَكَرَكَ وَتَوَضَّأْ وَإِذَا رَأَيْتَ الْمَنِيَّ فَاغْتَسِلْ»
✧ I was a man who emitted madhy frequently, so I asked the Prophet ﷺ. He said, “When you see water (madhy), wash your penis and perform ablution; and when you see mani, perform ritual bathing.”
أَنَّ عَلِيًّا أَمَرَ عَمَّارًا أَنْ يَسْأَلَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ عَنِ الْمَذْيِ فَقَالَ «يَغْسِلُ مَذَاكِيرَهُ وَيَتَوَضَّأُ»
✧ ʿAlī ordered ʿAmmār to ask the Messenger of Allah ﷺ about madhy, and he said, “He should wash his private parts and perform ablution.”
أَنَّ عَلِيَّ بْنَ أَبِي طَالِبٍ أَمَرَهُ أَنْ يَسْأَلَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ عَنِ الرَّجُلِ إِذَا دَنَا مِنْ أَهْلِهِ فَخَرَجَ مِنْهُ الْمَذْيُ مَاذَا عَلَيْهِ؟ فَإِنْ عِنْدِي ابْنَتَهُ وَأَنَا أَسْتَحْيِي أَنْ أَسْأَلَهُ قَالَ الْمِقْدَادُ فَسَأَلْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ عَنْ ذَلِكَ فَقَالَ «إِذَا وَجَدَ أَحَدُكُمْ ذَلِكَ فَلْيَنْضَحْ فَرْجَهُ وَلْيَتَوَضَّأْ وُضُوءَهُ لِلصَّلَاةِ»
✧ ʿAlī b. Abī Ṭālib ordered him to ask the Messenger of Allah ﷺ about a man when he approaches his wife and madhy comes out from him: what is upon him? For his daughter is with me, and I am too shy to ask him. Al-Miqdād said: So I asked the Messenger of Allah ﷺ about that, and he said, “When one of you finds that, let him sprinkle his private part and perform ablution as he does for prayer.”
كُنْتُ رَجُلًا مَذَّاءً فَجَعَلْتُ أَغْتَسِلُ فِي الشِّتَاءِ حَتَّى تَشَقَّقَ ظَهْرِي فَذَكَرْتُ ذَلِكَ لِلنَّبِيِّ ﷺ أَوْ ذُكِرَ لَهُ فَقَالَ «لَا تَفْعَلْ إِذَا رَأَيْتَ الْمَذْيَ فَاغْسِلْ ذَكَرَكَ وَتَوَضَّأْ وُضُوءَكَ لِلصَّلَاةِ وَإِذَا نَضَحْتَ الْمَاءَ فَاغْتَسِلْ»
✧ I was a man who emitted madhy frequently, so I used to bathe in winter until my back cracked. I mentioned that to the Prophet ﷺ, or it was mentioned to him, and he said, “Do not do that. When you see madhy, wash your penis and perform ablution as you do for prayer; and when you ejaculate water (mani), perform ritual bathing.”
«أَنَّهَا كَانَتْ تَغْتَسِلُ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ فِي الْإِنَاءِ الْوَاحِدِ»
✧ She used to bathe with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ from a single vessel.
كَانَ يُصَلِّي وَهُوَ حَامِلٌ أُمَامَةَ بِنْتَ زَيْنَبَ ابْنَتِهِ فَكَانَ إِذَا قَامَ حَمَلَهَا وَإِذَا سَجَدَ وَضَعَهَا»
✧ He used to pray while carrying Umāmah bt. Zaynab, his daughter. When he stood, he carried her; and when he prostrated, he put her down.
بَيْنَمَا نَحْنُ عَلَى بَابِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ جُلُوسٌ إِذْ خَرَجَ عَلَيْنَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَحْمِلُ أُمَامَةَ بِنْتَ أَبِي الْعَاصِ بْنِ الرَّبِيعِ وَأُمُّهَا زَيْنَبُ بِنْتُ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَهِيَ صَبِيَّةٌ فَصَلَّى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَهِيَ عَلَى عَاتِقِهِ يَضَعُهَا إِذَا رَكَعَ وَيُعِيدُهَا عَلَى عَاتِقِهِ إِذَا قَامَ حَتَّى قَضَى صَلَاتَهُ يَفْعَلُ ذَلِكَ بِهَا
✧ While we were sitting at the door of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ came out to us carrying Umamah bt. Abi al-‘As b. al-Rabi‘, whose mother was Zaynab bt. the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, and she was a young girl. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ prayed while she was on his shoulder: he would put her down when he bowed and put her back on his shoulder when he stood up, until he finished his prayer, doing that with her.
«إِنْ كُنْتُ لَأَغْتَسِلُ أَنَا وَرَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ مِنْ إِنَاءٍ وَاحِدٍ تَخْتَلِفُ أَيْدِينَا فِيهِ وَتَلْتَقِي»
✧ She said: I and the Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to bathe from a single vessel, our hands alternating in it and meeting.
دَخَلْتُ عَلَى مَرْوَانَ بْنِ الْحَكَمِ فَذَكَرْنَا مَا يَكُونُ مِنْهُ الْوُضُوءُ فَقَالَ مَرْوَانُ أَخْبَرَتْنِي بُسْرَةُ بِنْتُ صَفْوَانَ أَنَّهَا سَمِعَتْ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ «إِذَا مَسَّ أَحَدُكُمْ ذَكَرَهُ فَلْيَتَوَضَّأْ»
Abdullah ibn AbuBakr reported that he heard Urwah say: I entered upon Marwan ibn al-Hakam. We mentioned things that render the ablution void. Marwan said: Does it become void by touching the penis? Urwah replied: This I do not know. Marwan said: Busrah daughter of Safwan reported to me that she heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say: He who touches his penis should perform ablution. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 181)
«إِذَا مَسَّ أَحَدُكُمْ ذَكَرَهُ فَلْيَتَوَضَّأْ»
✧ She said: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: “When one of you touches his penis, let him perform wudu’.”
«مَنْ مَسَّ فَرْجَهُ فَلْيَتَوَضَّأْ»
✧ She said: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: “Whoever touches his private part, let him perform wudu’.”
«مَنْ مَسَّ فَرْجَهُ فَلْيُعِدِ الْوُضُوءَ»
✧ She said: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: “Whoever touches his private part, let him repeat the wudu’.”

«مَنْ مَسَّ ذَكَرَهُ فَلْيَتَوَضَّأْ وُضُوءَهُ لِلصَّلَاةِ»
✧ She said: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: “Whoever touches his penis, let him perform wudu’ as he does for prayer.”

✧ She said: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: “When one of you touches his private part, let him perform wudu’, and the woman is like that.”
«إِذَا أَفْضَى أَحَدُكُمْ بِيَدِهِ إِلَى فَرْجِهِ وَلَيْسَ بَيْنَهُمَا سِتْرٌ وَلَا حِجَابٌ فَلْيَتَوَضَّأْ»
✧ She said: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: “When one of you brings his hand to his private part with no cover or barrier between them, let him perform wudu’.”
خَرَجْنَا وَفْدًا إِلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَجَاءَ رَجُلٌ فَقَالَ يَا نَبِيَّ اللَّهِ مَا تَقُولُ فِي مَسِّ الرَّجُلِ ذَكَرَهُ بَعْدَمَا يَتَوَضَّأُ؟ فَقَالَ «هَلْ هُوَ إِلَّا مُضْغَةٌ أَوْ بَضْعَةٌ مِنْهُ»
✧ He said: We went out as a delegation to the Prophet ﷺ, and a man came and said: “O Prophet of Allah, what do you say about a man touching his penis after he has performed wudu’?” He said: “Is it but a morsel or a piece of him?”
كُنَّا عِنْدَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَأَتَاهُ أَعْرَابِيٌّ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنَّ أَحَدَنَا يَكُونُ فِي الصَّلَاةِ فَيَحْتَكُّ فَتُصِيبُ يَدُهُ ذَكَرَهُ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «وَهَلْ هُوَ إِلَّا بَضْعَةٌ مِنْكَ أَوْ مُضْغَةٌ مِنْكَ»
✧ He said: We were with the Prophet ﷺ when a Bedouin came to him and said: “O Messenger of Allah, one of us may be in prayer and scratch himself, and his hand touches his penis.” The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: “Is it but a piece of you or a morsel of you?”
أَنَّهُ سَأَلَ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ عَنِ الرَّجُلِ يَمَسُّ ذَكَرَهُ وَهُوَ فِي الصَّلَاةِ قَالَ «لَا بَأْسَ بِهِ إِنَّهُ لَبَعْضُ جَسَدِكَ»
✧ He said: I asked the Prophet ﷺ about a man touching his penis while he is in prayer. He said: “There is no harm in it; it is but a part of your body.”
بَنَيْتُ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ مَسْجِدَ الْمَدِينَةِ فَكَانَ يَقُولُ «قَدِّمُوا الْيَمَامِي مِنَ الطِّينِ فَإِنَّهُ مِنْ أَحْسَنِكُمْ لَهُ مَسًّا»
✧ He said: I built the mosque of Madinah with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, and he would say: “Bring the Yamami forward with the clay, for he is the best of you at handling it.”
خَرَجْنَا سِتَّةً وَفْدًا إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ خَمْسَةٌ مِنْ بَنِي حَنِيفَةَ وَرَجُلٌ مِنْ بَنِي ضُبَيْعَةَ بْنِ رَبِيعَةَ حَتَّى قَدِمْنَا عَلَى نَبِيِّ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَبَايَعْنَاهُ وَصَلَّيْنَا مَعَهُ وَأَخْبَرْنَاهُ أَنَّ بِأَرْضِنَا بَيْعَةً لَنَا وَاسْتَوْهَبْنَاهُ مِنْ فَضْلِ طُهُورِهِ فَدَعَا بِمَاءٍ فَتَوَضَّأَ مِنْهُ وَتَمَضْمَضَ وَصَبَّ لَنَا فِي إِدَاوَةٍ ثُمَّ قَالَ «اذْهَبُوا بِهَذَا الْمَاءِ فَإِذَا قَدِمْتُمْ بَلَدَكُمْ فَاكْسِرُوا بِيعَتَكُمْ ثُمَّ انْضَحُوا مَكَانَهَا مِنْ هَذَا الْمَاءِ وَاتَّخِذُوا مَكَانَهَا مَسْجِدًا» فَقُلْنَا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ الْبَلَدُ بَعِيدٌ وَالْمَاءُ يَنْشَفُ قَالَ «فَأَمِدُّوهُ مِنَ الْمَاءِ فَإِنَّهُ لَا يَزِيدُهُ إِلَّا طِيبًا»
✧ We went out as a delegation of six to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ: five from Banu Hanifah and a man from Banu Dubay'ah b. Rabi'ah, until we arrived before the Prophet of Allah ﷺ. We pledged allegiance to him, prayed with him, and told him that in our land there was a church belonging to us. We asked him for a gift from the leftover of his purification water. He called for water, performed wudu' with it, rinsed his mouth, and poured for us into a water skin. Then he said: "Go with this water, and when you reach your town, break your church, then sprinkle its place with this water, and take it as a mosque." We said: "O Messenger of Allah, the town is far and the water will dry up." He said: "Then replenish it with water, for it will only increase it in pleasantness."
أَنَّ رَجُلًا سَأَلَ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ قَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَنَتَوَضَّأُ مِنْ لُحُومِ الْغَنَمِ؟ قَالَ «إِنْ شِئْتَ فَتَوَضَّأْ وَإِنْ شِئْتَ فَلَا تَتَوَضَّأْ» قَالَ أَنَتَوَضَّأُ مِنْ لُحُومِ الْإِبِلِ؟ قَالَ «نَعَمْ» قَالَ أُصَلِّي فِي مَبَارِكِ الْإِبِلِ؟ قَالَ «لَا»

A man from the Muhajirun and a man from the Ansar volunteered, saying, 'We are, O Messenger of Allah.' He ﷺ said, 'Then be at the mouth of the mountain pass.' He said: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ and his companions had descended into a mountain pass of the valley. When the two men went out to the mouth of the pass, the Ansari said to the Muhajiri, 'Which part of the night would you like me to relieve you in, its beginning or its end?' He said, 'Relieve me in its beginning.' He said: So the Muhajiri lay down and slept, and the Ansari stood up to pray. The husband of the woman came, and when he saw the figure of the man, he knew that he was the watchman of the people, so he shot an arrow at him and lodged it in him. He pulled it out and remained standing in prayer. Then he shot another arrow and lodged it in him. He pulled it out and remained standing in prayer. Then he came back for the third time and lodged it in him. He pulled it out and put it down, then bowed and prostrated, then roused his companion and said, 'Sit up, for I have been struck.' He sprang up. When the man saw the two of them, he knew that he had been noticed and fled. When the Muhajiri saw the blood on the Ansari, he said, 'Glory be to Allah! Why did you not rouse me when he first shot you?' He said, 'I was in the middle of a surah that I was reciting and did not like to cut it off until I had completed it. When he continued shooting at me, I bowed and alerted you. By Allah, had I not feared neglecting a frontier that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ commanded me to guard, my soul would have departed before I cut it off or completed it.'
جَاءَتْ أُمُّ سُلَيْمٍ امْرَأَةُ أَبِي طَلْحَةَ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَقَالَتْ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنَّ اللَّهَ لَا يَسْتَحْيِي مِنَ الْحَقِّ هَلْ عَلَى الْمَرْأَةِ غُسْلٌ إِذَا هِيَ احْتَلَمَتْ؟ قَالَ «نَعَمْ إِذَا رَأَتِ الْمَاءَ»
✧ Umm Sulaym, the wife of Abu Talhah, came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and said: 'O Messenger of Allah, Allah is not ashamed of the truth. Is a woman required to perform ghusl if she has a wet dream?' He said: 'Yes, if she sees water.'
أَنَّ أُمَّ سُلَيْمٍ الْأَنْصَارِيَّةَ وَهِيَ أُمُّ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ قَالَتْ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنَّ اللَّهَ لَا يَسْتَحْيِي مِنَ الْحَقِّ هَلْ عَلَى الْمَرْأَةِ مِنْ غُسْلٍ إِذَا رَأَتِ الْمَاءَ فِي النَّوْمِ مَا يَرَى الرَّجُلُ أَتَغْتَسِلُ أَمْ لَا؟ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ «تَغْتَسِلُ» فَقَالَتْ زَوْجُ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَأَقْبَلْتُ عَلَيْهَا فَقُلْتُ أُفٍّ لَكِ وَهَلْ تَرَى ذَلِكَ الْمَرْأَةُ؟ قَالَتْ فَأَقْبَلَ عَلَيْهَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَقَالَ « تَرِبَتْ يَمِينُكِ فَمِنْ أَيْنَ يَكُونُ الشَّبَهُ؟ »
✧ Umm Sulaym al-Ansariyya, the mother of Anas b. Malik, said: O Messenger of Allah, Allah is not shy of the truth. Is bathing obligatory upon a woman when she sees in her sleep what a man sees? Should she bathe or not? The Prophet ﷺ said: “She should bathe.” The wife of the Prophet ﷺ said: I turned to her and said: Uff to you! Does a woman see that? She said: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ turned to her and said: “May your right hand be in the dust! How then does resemblance occur?”

✧ Umm Sulaym, the wife of Abu Talha, came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and said: O Messenger of Allah, Allah is not shy of the truth. Is bathing obligatory upon a woman if she has a nocturnal emission? He said: “Yes, if she sees moisture.”

قُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ الرَّجُلُ يَأْتِي الْمَرْأَةَ فَلَا يُنْزِلُ؟ قَالَ «يَغْسِلُ مَا مَسَّ الْمَرْأَةَ مِنْهُ وَيَتَوَضَّأُ وَيُصَلِّي»
✧ I said: O Messenger of Allah, a man has intercourse with a woman but does not ejaculate. He said: “He should wash what of him touched the woman, perform ablution, and pray.”
قُلْتُ أَرَأَيْتَ أَحَدَنَا إِذَا جَامَعَ الْمَرْأَةَ فَأَكْسَلَ وَلَمْ يُمْنِ؟ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «لِيَغْسِلْ ذَكَرَهُ وَأُنْثَيَيْهِ وَلْيَتَوَضَّأْ ثُمَّ لِيُصَلِّ»
✧ I said: What do you think if one of us has intercourse with a woman and is too weary to ejaculate? The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: “He should wash his penis and testicles, perform ablution, then pray.”
خَرَجْنَا مَعَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ يَوْمًا حَتَّى مَرَّ بِدَارِ رَجُلٍ مِنَ الْأَنْصَارِ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ «أَيْنَ فُلَانٌ؟ » فَدَعَاهُ فَخَرَجَ الرَّجُلُ مُسْتَعْجِلًا يَقْطُرُ رَأْسُهُ مَاءً فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ « لَعَلَّنَا أَعْجَلْنَاكَ عَنْ حَاجَتِكَ» فَقَالَ الرَّجُلُ أَجَلْ وَاللَّهِ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ لَقَدْ أُعْجِلْتُ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ «إِذَا عَجِلَ أَحَدُكُمْ أَوْ أُقْحِطَ فَلَا غُسْلَ عَلَيْهِ إِنَّمَا عَلَيْهِ أَنْ يَتَوَضَّأَ»
✧ We went out with the Prophet ﷺ one day until he passed by the house of a man from the Ansar. The Prophet ﷺ said: “Where is so-and-so?” He called him, and the man came out in a hurry, his head dripping water. The Prophet ﷺ said: “Perhaps we hurried you from your need.” The man said: Yes, by Allah, O Messenger of Allah, I was hurried. The Prophet ﷺ said: “When one of you is hurried or prevented from ejaculating, no bathing is due upon him; he only has to perform ablution.”
أَنَّهُ سَأَلَ عُثْمَانَ بْنَ عَفَّانَ عَنِ الرَّجُلِ يُجَامِعُ فَلَا يُنْزِلُ فَقَالَ «لَيْسَ عَلَيْهِ غُسْلٌ» ثُمَّ قَالَ عُثْمَانُ سَمِعْتُهُ مِنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ
✧ He asked Uthman b. Affan about a man who has intercourse but does not ejaculate. He said: “No bathing is due upon him.” Then Uthman said: I heard it from the Messenger of Allah ﷺ.
«إِنَّمَا كَانَ الْمَاءُ مِنَ الْمَاءِ رُخْصَةً فِي أَوَّلِ الْإِسْلَامِ ثُمَّ نُهِيَ عَنْهَا»
✧ “Water from water was only a dispensation in the early days of Islam, then it was forbidden.”
«إِذَا قَعَدَ بَيْنَ شُعَبِهَا الْأَرْبَعِ ثُمَّ جَهَدَ فَعَلَيْهِ الْغُسْلُ»

✧ That the legal opinion they used to give, «Water is due only from water,» was a dispensation that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ granted at the beginning of the era, or the start of Islam; then he commanded ghusl afterward.
سَأَلْتُ عُرْوَةَ عَنِ الَّذِي يُجَامِعُ وَلَا يُنْزِلُ قَالَ عَلَى النَّاسِ أَنْ يَأْخُذُوا بِالْآخِرِ وَالْآخِرُ مِنْ أَمْرِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ؛ حَدَّثَتْنِي عَائِشَةُ «أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ كَانَ يَفْعَلُ ذَلِكَ وَلَا يَغْتَسِلُ وَذَلِكَ قَبْلَ فَتْحِ مَكَّةَ ثُمَّ اغْتَسَلَ بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ وَأَمَرَ النَّاسَ بِالْغُسْلِ»
✧ I asked ʿUrwah about the one who has intercourse but does not ejaculate. He said: People must follow the most recent practice, and the most recent is from the command of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. ʿĀʾishah told me: «The Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to do that and not perform ghusl, and that was before the conquest of Makkah. Then he performed ghusl after that and commanded the people to perform ghusl.»

✧ The Messenger of Allah ﷺ recited the morning (Duha) prayer and I couldn't find anyone to inform me about it except for Umm Hani bint Abi Talib, who informed me that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ performed it after the day had risen on the day of the conquest. He ordered for a garment to be brought to cover him, then he performed ablution and stood up and performed eight units of prayer. I do not know whether his standing or his bowing or his prostration was longer in duration. All of that was performed consecutively. She said: "I did not see him reciting anything before or after it."
ذَهَبْتُ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ عَامَ الْفَتْحِ فَوَجَدْتُهُ يَغْتَسِلُ وَفَاطِمَةُ ابْنَتُهُ تَسْتُرُهُ بِثَوْبٍ قَالَتْ فَسَلَّمْتُ فَقَالَ «مَنْ هَذِهِ؟ » قُلْتُ أُمُّ هَانِئٍ بِنْتُ أَبِي طَالِبٍ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «مَرْحَبًا يَا أُمَّ هَانِئٍ» فَلَمَّا فَرَغَ مِنْ غُسْلِهِ قَامَ فَصَلَّى ثَمَانَ رَكَعَاتٍ مُلْتَحِفًا فِي ثَوْبٍ وَاحِدٍ ثُمَّ انْصَرَفَ فَقُلْتُ لَهُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ زَعَمَ ابْنُ أُمِّي عَلِيُّ بْنُ أَبِي طَالِبٍ رِضْوَانُ اللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ أَنَّهُ قَاتِلٌ رَجُلًا أَجَرْتُهُ فُلَانُ ابْنُ هُبَيْرَةَ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «قَدْ أَجَرْنَا مَنْ أَجَرْتِ يَا أُمَّ هَانِئٍ» وَذَلِكَ ضُحًى
✧ I went to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ in the year of the conquest, and I found him performing ghusl while Fāṭimah, his daughter, was screening him with a cloth. She said: I greeted him, and he said: «Who is this?» I said: Umm Hāniʾ bt. Abī Ṭālib. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: «Welcome, Umm Hāniʾ.» When he finished his ghusl, he stood and prayed eight rakʿahs wrapped in a single cloth, then he left. I said to him: O Messenger of Allah, the son of my mother ʿAlī b. Abī Ṭālib, ؓ, claims that he will kill a man whom I have granted protection, Fulān b. Hubayrah. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: «We have granted protection to the one you have granted protection, O Umm Hāniʾ.» And that was at mid-morning.
نَزَلَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ بِأَعْلَى مَكَّةَ فَأَتَيْتُهُ فَجَاءَهُ أَبُو ذَرٍّ بِجَفْنَةٍ فِيهَا مَاءٍ قَالَتْ إِنِّي لَأَرَى فِيهَا أَثَرَ الْعَجِينِ قَالَتْ فَسَتَرَهُ أَبُو ذَرٍّ فَاغْتَسَلَ ثُمَّ سَتَرَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ أَبَا ذَرٍّ فَاغْتَسَلَ ثُمَّ صَلَّى النَّبِيُّ ﷺ ثَمَانَ رَكَعَاتٍ وَذَلِكَ فِي الضُّحَى
✧ The Messenger of Allah ﷺ stayed in upper Makkah, and I went to him. Abū Dharr came to him with a bowl containing water. She said: I could see in it traces of dough. She said: Abū Dharr screened him, and he performed ghusl. Then the Prophet ﷺ screened Abū Dharr, and he performed ghusl. Then the Prophet ﷺ prayed eight rakʿahs, and that was at mid-morning.
أَدْنَيْتُ لِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ غُسْلَهُ مِنَ الْجَنَابَةِ قَالَتْ «فَغَسَلَ كَفَّيْهِ مَرَّتَيْنِ أَوْ ثَلَاثًا ثُمَّ أَدْخَلَ كَفَّهُ الْيُمْنَى فِي الْإِنَاءِ فَأَفْرَغَ بِهَا عَلَى فَرْجِهِ فَغَسَلَهُ بِشِمَالِهِ ثُمَّ ضَرَبَ بِشِمَالِهِ الْأَرْضَ فَدَلَكَهَا دَلْكًا شَدِيدًا ثُمَّ تَوَضَّأَ وُضُوءَهُ لِلصَّلَاةِ ثُمَّ أَفْرَغَ عَلَى رَأْسِهِ ثَلَاثَ حَفَنَاتٍ مِلْءَ كَفَّيْهِ ثُمَّ تَنَحَّى غَيْرَ مَقَامِهِ ذَلِكَ فَغَسَلَ رِجْلَيْهِ ثُمَّ أَتَيْتُهُ بِالْمِنْدِيلِ فَرَدَّهُ»
✧ I brought the Messenger of Allah ﷺ water for his ghusl from janābah. She said: He washed his hands twice or three times, then inserted his right hand into the vessel and poured with it over his private part, washing it with his left hand. Then he struck his left hand on the ground and rubbed it vigorously. Then he performed wuḍūʾ as for prayer, then poured over his head three handfuls, filling both hands. Then he moved away from that spot and washed his feet. Then I brought him a cloth, but he returned it.
وَصَفَتْ عَائِشَةُ غُسْلَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ مِنَ الْجَنَابَةِ قَالَتْ «كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَغْسِلُ يَدَيْهِ ثَلَاثًا ثُمَّ يُفِيضُ بِيَدِهِ الْيُمْنَى عَلَى الْيُسْرَى فَيَغْسِلُ فَرْجَهُ وَمَا أَصَابَهُ ثُمَّ يُمَضْمِضُ وَيَسْتَنْشِقُ ثَلَاثًا وَيَغْسِلُ وَجْهَهُ وَيَدَيْهِ ثَلَاثًا ثَلَاثًا ثُمَّ يُفِيضُ عَلَى رَأْسِهِ ثَلَاثًا ثُمَّ يَصُبُّ عَلَيْهِ الْمَاءَ»
✧ A'ishah described the ghusl of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ from janabah. She said: "The Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to wash his hands three times, then pour with his right hand over his left, and wash his private part and what it touched, then rinse his mouth and sniff water three times, and wash his face and hands three times each, then pour over his head three times, then pour water over himself."

✧ I asked A'ishah: Can a woman bathe with her husband from janabah from the same vessel together? She said: "Yes, water is purifying and does not become junub. I used to bathe, I and the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, from the same vessel; I would start and pour over his hand before he dipped them into the water."
«كُنْتُ أَغْتَسِلُ أَنَا وَرَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ مِنْ إِنَاءٍ وَاحِدٍ مِنَ الْجَنَابَةِ نَشْرُعُ فِيهِ جَمِيعًا»

✧ Ayesha narrated, "I and the Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to perform ablution from the same vessel, and it would overflow. He would then say, 'Leave some for me, leave some for me.'"
كَانَ إِذَا اغْتَسَلَ مِنَ الْجَنَابَةِ بَدَأَ فَغَسَلَ يَدَيْهِ ثُمَّ تَوَضَّأَ كَمَا يَتَوَضَّأُ لِلصَّلَاةِ ثُمَّ يُدْخِلُ أَصَابِعَهُ فِي الْمَاءِ فَيُخَلِّلُ بِهَا أُصُولَ شَعْرِهِ ثُمَّ يَصُبُّ عَلَى رَأْسِهِ ثَلَاثَ غَرَفَاتٍ بِيَدِهِ ثُمَّ يُفِيضُ الْمَاءَ عَلَى سَائِرِ جَسَدِهِ»
✧ When he bathed from janabah, he would begin by washing his hands, then perform wudu' as he would for prayer, then insert his fingers into the water and comb through the roots of his hair with them, then pour three handfuls of water over his head with his hand, then pour water over the rest of his body.
«كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَغْتَسِلُ فِي حِلَابٍ مِثْلَ هَذِهِ وَأَشَارَ أَبُو عَاصِمٍ بِكَفَّيْهِ يَصُبُّ عَلَى شِقِّ الْأَيْمَنِ ثُمَّ يَأْخُذُ بِكَفَّيْهِ يَصُبُّ عَلَى سَائِرِ جَسَدِهِ»
✧ "The Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to bathe in a vessel like this"—and Abu 'Asim gestured with his two hands—"pouring on the right side, then taking with his two hands and pouring over the rest of his body."
إِنِّي امْرَأَةٌ أَشُدُّ ضَفْرَ رَأْسِي أَفَأَحُلُّهُ لِغُسْلِ الْجَنَابَةِ؟ فَقَالَ ﷺ «إِنَّمَا يَكْفِيكِ أَنْ تَحْثِي عَلَى رَأْسِكِ ثَلَاثَ حَثَيَاتٍ مِنْ مَاءٍ ثُمَّ تُفِيضِي عَلَيْكِ الْمَاءَ فَإِذَا أَنْتِ قَدْ طَهُرْتِ»
✧ I am a woman who ties the braids of my hair tightly; should I undo it for the ghusl of janabah? He ﷺ said: "It is sufficient for you to throw three handfuls of water on your head, then pour water over yourself, and then you will have become pure."

كَانَ النَّاسُ يَنْتَابُونَ الْجُمُعَةَ مِنْ مَنَازِلِهِمْ مِنَ الْعَوَالِي فَيَأْتُونَ فِي الْعَبَاءِ وَيُصِيبُهُمُ الْغُبَارُ وَالْعَرَقُ فَيَخْرُجُ مِنْهُمُ الرِّيحُ فَأَتَى رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ إِنْسَانٌ مِنْهُمْ وَهُوَ عِنْدِي فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «لَوْ أَنَّكُمْ تَطَهَّرْتُمْ لِيَوْمِكُمْ هَذَا»
✧ The people used to come to Jumu'ah from their dwellings in the ʿAwālī, and they would come in woolen cloaks, and dust and sweat would afflict them, and an odor would emanate from them.

They tied him to one of the pillars of the mosque. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ came out to him and said: 'What do you have, O Thumāmah?' He replied: 'I have good, O Muḥammad. If you kill me, you kill one with blood; if you show favor, you show favor to one who is grateful; and if you want wealth, ask and you will be given whatever you wish.' The Messenger of Allah ﷺ left him until the next day, then said to him: 'What do you have, O Thumāmah?' He replied: 'What I told you: if you show favor, you show favor to one who is grateful; if you kill, you kill one with blood; and if you want wealth, ask and you will be given whatever you wish.' The Messenger of Allah ﷺ left him until the day after the next, then said to him: 'What do you have, O Thumāmah?' He replied: 'I have what I told you: if you show favor, you show favor to one who is grateful; if you kill, you kill one with blood; and if you want wealth, ask and you will be given whatever you wish.' Then the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: 'Release Thumāmah.' He went to some palm trees near the mosque, bathed, then entered the mosque and said: 'I bear witness that there is no god but Allah and that Muḥammad is the Messenger of Allah. O Muḥammad, by Allah, there was no face on earth more hateful to me than your face, but now your face has become the most beloved of all faces to me. By Allah, there was no religion more hateful to me than your religion, but now your religion has become the most beloved of all religions to me. By Allah, there was no town more hateful to me than your town, but now your town has become the most beloved of all towns to me. Your cavalry captured me while I was intending ʿUmrah, so what do you think?' The Messenger of Allah ﷺ gave him good news and ordered him to perform ʿUmrah. When he arrived in Makkah, someone said to him: 'Have you apostatized?' He replied: 'No, but I have embraced Islam with Muḥammad, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. By Allah, not a grain of wheat will come to you from al-Yamāmah until the Messenger of Allah ﷺ permits it.'

✧ Thumāmah al-Ḥanafī was taken captive. The Prophet ﷺ used to visit him and say: 'What do you have, O Thumāmah?' He would say: 'If you kill, you kill one with blood [i.e., a person of consequence]; if you show favor, you show favor to one who is grateful; and if you want wealth, you will be given whatever you wish.' He said: The companions of the Prophet ﷺ loved ransom and said: 'What do we gain by killing this man?'

✧ A man asked the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, "O Messenger of Allah, we ride the sea and carry with us a little water. If we perform wudu' with it, we will become thirsty. May we perform wudu' with seawater?" He said, "Its water is purifying and its dead animals are lawful."

✧ The Messenger of Allah ﷺ met me while I was in a state of major ritual impurity.

«جَاءَنِي النَّبِيُّ ﷺ يَعُودُنِي وَأَنَا مَرِيضٌ لَا أَعْقِلُ فَتَوَضَّأَ وَصَبَّ مِنْ وَضُوئِهِ عَلَيَّ» فَعَقَلْتُ فَقُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ لِمَنِ الْمِيرَاثُ؟ فَإِنَّمَا يَرِثُنِي كَلَالَةً فَنَزَلَتْ آيَةُ الْفَرَائِضِ
✧ The Prophet ﷺ came to visit me while I was ill and unconscious. He performed ablution and poured some of his ablution water over me, and I regained consciousness. I said: "O Messenger of Allah, to whom does the inheritance go? For only distant relatives inherit from me." Then the verse of obligatory shares was revealed.
أَتَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ بِلَبَنٍ وَهُوَ بِالنَّقِيعِ غَيْرِ مُخَمَّرٍ فَقَالَ «أَلَا خَمَّرْتَهُ وَلَوْ تَعْرِضُ عَلَيْهِ عُودًا»
✧ I brought milk to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ while he was at al-Naqi', uncovered. He said, 'Why did you not cover it, even by placing a stick across it?'
«أَغْلِقُوا الْأَبْوَابَ وَأَوْكُوا السِّقَاءَ وَخَمِّرُوا الْإِنَاءَ وَأَطْفِئُوا الْمِصْبَاحَ فَإِنَّ الشَّيْطَانَ لَا يَفْتَحُ غَلَقًا وَلَا يَحُلُّ وِكَاءً وَلَا يَكْشِفُ إِنَاءً وَإِنَّ الْفُوَيْسِقَةَ تُضْرِمُ عَلَى النَّاسِ بَيْتَهُمْ»
✧ Shut the doors, tie the waterskins, cover the vessels, and extinguish the lamps, for the devil does not open a locked door, nor untie a waterskin, nor uncover a vessel. And the little transgressor (the mouse) may set fire to people's houses.
«أَغْلِقْ بَابَكَ وَاذْكُرِ اسْمَ اللَّهِ فَإِنَّ الشَّيْطَانَ لَا يَفْتَحُ بَابًا مُغْلَقًا وَأَطْفِئْ مِصْبَاحَكَ وَاذْكُرِ اسْمَ اللَّهِ وَأَوْكِ سِقَاءَكَ وَاذْكُرِ اسْمَ اللَّهِ وَخَمِّرْ إِنَاءَكَ وَاذْكُرِ اسْمَ اللَّهِ وَلَوْ بِعُودٍ يُعْرَضُ عَلَيْهِ»
✧ Shut your door and mention Allah's name, for the devil does not open a shut door. Extinguish your lamp and mention Allah's name. Tie your waterskin and mention Allah's name. Cover your vessel and mention Allah's name, even with a stick placed across it.
«أَمَرَنَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ بِأَرْبَعٍ وَنَهَانَا عَنْ خَمْسٍ إِذَا رَقَدْتَ فَأَغْلِقْ بَابَكَ وَأَوْكِ سِقَاءَكَ وَخَمِّرْ إِنَاءَكَ وَأَطْفِئْ مِصْبَاحَكَ فَإِنَّ الشَّيْطَانَ لَا يَفْتَحُ بَابًا وَلَا يَحُلُّ وِكَاءً وَلَا يَكْشِفُ غِطَاءً وَإِنَّ الْفَأْرَةَ الْفُوَيْسِقَةَ تُحْرِقُ عَلَى أَهْلِ الْبَيْتِ بَيْتَهُمْ وَلَا تَأْكُلْ بِشِمَالِكَ وَلَا تَشْرَبْ بِشِمَالِكَ وَلَا تَمْشِ فِي نَعْلٍ وَاحِدَةٍ وَلَا تَشْتَمِلِ الصَّمَّاءَ وَلَا تَحْتَبِ فِي الإزار مُفْضِيًا»
✧ The Messenger of Allah ﷺ commanded us four things and forbade us five: When you go to sleep, shut your door, tie your waterskin, cover your vessel, and extinguish your lamp, for the devil does not open a door, nor untie a waterskin, nor uncover a cover. And the mouse, the little transgressor, may burn the people of a house in their house. And do not eat with your left hand, do not drink with your left hand, do not walk in a single sandal, do not wrap yourself in al-samma' (a way of wearing cloth that leaves no opening for the arms), and do not sit with your knees up while wrapped in a single garment, exposing your private parts.
Sahih Ibn Hibban 1274Hasan sahih
«أَوْكُوا الْأَسْقِيَةَ وَغَلِّقُوا الْأَبْوَابَ إِذَا رَقَدْتُمْ بِاللَّيْلِ وَخَمِّرُوا الطَّعَامَ وَالشَّرَابَ فَإِنَّ الشَّيْطَانَ يَأْتِي فَإِنْ لَمْ يَجِدِ الْبَابَ مُغْلَقًا دَخَلَ وَإِنْ لَمْ يَجِدِ السِّقَاءَ مُوكًى شَرِبَ مِنْهُ وَإِنْ وَجَدَ الْبَابَ مُغْلَقًا وَالسِّقَاءَ مُوكًى لَمْ يَحْلِلْ وِكَاءً وَلَمْ يَفْتَحْ بَابًا مُغْلَقًا وَإِنْ لَمْ يَجِدْ أَحَدُكُمْ لِإِنَائِهِ الَّذِي فِيهِ شَرَابُهُ مَا يُخَمِّرُهُ فَلْيَعْرِضْ عَلَيْهِ عُودًا»
✧ Tie the waterskins, shut the doors when you sleep at night, and cover food and drink, for the devil comes. If he does not find the door shut, he enters; if he does not find the waterskin tied, he drinks from it; but if he finds the door shut and the waterskin tied, he does not untie a waterskin and does not open a shut door. If one of you cannot find something to cover his vessel that contains his drink, let him place a stick across it.
قَالَ لَنَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «غَلَّقُوا أَبْوَابَكُمْ وَأَوْكُوا أَسْقِيَتَكُمْ وَخَمِّرُوا آنِيَتَكُمْ وَأَطْفِئُوا سُرُجَكُمْ فَإِنَّ الشَّيْطَانَ لَا يَفْتَحُ غَلَقًا وَلَا يَحُلُّ وِكَاءً وَلَا يَكْشِفُ غِطَاءً وَإِنَّ الْفُوَيْسِقَةَ رُبَّمَا أَضْرَمَتْ عَلَى أَهْلِ الْبَيْتِ بَيْتَهُمْ وَكُفُّوا فَوَاشِيَكُمْ وَأَهْلِيكُمْ عِنْدَ غُرُوبِ الشَّمْسِ إِلَى أَنْ تَذْهَبَ فَجْوَةُ الْعِشَاءِ»
✧ The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said to us: Shut your doors, tie your waterskins, cover your vessels, extinguish your lamps, for the devil does not open a lock, does not untie a waterskin, and does not uncover a cover. The little transgressor (the mouse) may sometimes set fire to the people of a house in their house. And restrain your livestock and your family at sunset until the darkness of 'Isha' has passed.
Sahih Ibn Hibban 1276No grade recorded
«كُفُوا فَوَاشِيَكُمْ حَتَّى تَذْهَبَ فَزْعَةُ الْعِشَاءِ فَإِنَّهَا سَاعَةٌ يَخْتِرَقُ () فِيهَا الشَّيْطَانُ»
✧ Restrain your livestock until the fright of 'Isha' passes, for it is an hour in which the devil penetrates.

حَدَّثَتْنِي مَيْمُونَةُ زَوْجُ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ أَنَّ شَاةً لَهُمْ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ «هَلَّا دَبَغْتُمْ إِهَابَهَا فَاسْتَمْتَعْتُمْ بِهِ»
✧ Maymunah, the wife of the Prophet ﷺ, narrated to me that a sheep of theirs [died], and the Prophet ﷺ said: "Why did you not tan its hide and make use of it?"
أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَجَدَ شَاةً مَيْتَةً أُعْطِيَتْهَا مَوْلَاةٌ لِمَيْمُونَةَ مِنَ الصَّدَقَةِ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «هَلَّا انْتَفَعْتُمْ بِجِلْدِهَا؟ » قَالُوا إِنَّهَا مَيْتَةٌ قَالَ «إِنَّمَا حُرِّمَ أَكْلُهَا»
✧ The Messenger of Allah ﷺ found a dead sheep that had been given to a freed slave woman of Maymunah from the sadaqah. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: "Why did you not benefit from its skin?" They said: "It is dead." He said: "Only its eating is forbidden."
مَرَّ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ بِشَاةٍ مِنَ الصَّدَقَةِ مَيْتَةٍ أُعْطِيَتْهَا مَوْلَاةٌ لِمَيْمُونَةَ فَقَالَ «أَلَا أَخَذُوا إِهَابَهَا فَدَبَغُوهَا فَانْتَفَعُوا بِهَا؟ » فَقَالُوا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنَّهَا مَيْتَةٌ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ «إِنَّمَا حُرِّمَ أَكْلُهَا»
✧ The Messenger of Allah ﷺ passed by a dead sheep from the sadaqah that had been given to a freed slave woman of Maymunah. He said: "Would they not take its hide, tan it, and benefit from it?" They said: "O Messenger of Allah, it is dead." The Prophet ﷺ said: "Only its eating is forbidden."
«أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ أَمَرَ أَنْ يُسْتَمْتَعَ بِجُلُودِ الْمَيْتَةِ إِذَا دُبِغَتْ»
✧ The Messenger of Allah ﷺ commanded that the skins of dead animals be used when they are tanned.
«أَيُّمَا إِهَابٍ دُبِغَ فَقَدْ طَهُرَ»
✧ Any hide that is tanned has become pure.
«أَيُّمَا إِهَابٍ دُبِغَ فَقَدْ طَهُرَ»
✧ Any hide that is tanned has become pure.
مَرَّ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ بِشَاةٍ مَيْتَةٍ فَقَالَ «أَلَا أَخَذُوا إِهَابَهَا فَدَبَغُوهُ فَانْتَفَعُوا بِهِ؟ » فَقَالُوا إِنَّهَا مَيْتَةٌ فَقَالَ «إِنَّمَا حُرِّمَ أَكْلُهَا»
✧ The Prophet ﷺ passed by a dead sheep and said: "Would they not take its hide, tan it, and benefit from it?" They said: "It is dead." He said: "Only its eating is forbidden."
«دِبَاغُ جُلُودِ الْمَيْتَةِ طَهُورُهَا»
✧ The tanning of the skins of dead animals is their purification.
كَانَ لِي غَنْمٌ بِأُحُدٍ فَوَقَعَ فِيهَا الْمَوْتُ فَدَخَلْتُ عَلَى مَيْمُونَةَ فَذَكَرْتُ ذَلِكَ لَهَا فَقَالَتْ لِي مَيْمُونَةُ لَوْ أَخَذْتِ جُلُودَهَا فَانْتَفَعْتِ بِهَا؟ قَالَتْ فَقُلْتُ وَيَحِلُّ ذَلِكَ؟ قَالَتْ نَعَمْ مَرَّ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ عَلَى رِجَالٍ مِنْ قُرَيْشٍ يَجُرُّونَ شَاةً لَهُمْ مِثْلَ الْحِمَارِ فَقَالَ لَهُمْ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «لَوْ أَخَذْتُمْ إِهَابَهَا» قَالُوا إِنَّهَا مَيْتَةٌ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «يُطَهِّرُهَا الْمَاءُ وَالْقَرَظُ»
✧ I had sheep at Uhud, and death fell upon them. I entered upon Maymunah and mentioned that to her, and Maymunah said to me: "If you took their skins and benefited from them?" I said: "Is that lawful?" She said: "Yes. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ passed by some men of Quraysh who were dragging a sheep of theirs like a donkey, and the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said to them: 'If you took its hide.' They said: 'It is dead.' The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: 'Water and qaraz (acacia pods) purify it.'"
كَتَبَ إِلَيْنَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَبْلَ مَوْتِهِ بِشَهْرٍ «أَنْ لَا تَنْتَفِعُوا مِنَ الْمَيْتَةِ بِإِهَابٍ وَلَا عَصَبٍ»
✧ The Messenger of Allah ﷺ wrote to us one month before his death: 'Do not benefit from the dead animal's hide or sinew.'
«كُنْتُ أَضَعُ الْإِنَاءَ عَلَى فِي وَأَنَا حَائِضٌ ثُمَّ أُنَاوِلُهُ لِلنَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَيَضَعُ فَاهُ عَلَى مَوْضِعِ فِيَّ وَآخُذُ الْعَرْقَ وَأَنَا حَائِضٌ ثُمَّ أُنَاوِلُهُ فَيَضَعُ فَاهُ عَلَى مَوْضِعِ فِيَّ»
✧ I used to place the vessel to my mouth while I was menstruating, then hand it to the Prophet ﷺ, and he would put his mouth on the place where my mouth had been. And I would take a bone with meat on it while I was menstruating, then hand it to him, and he would put his mouth on the place where my mouth had been.
«إِذَا وَلَغَ الْكَلْبُ فِي إِنَاءِ أَحَدِكُمْ فَاغْسِلُوهُ سَبْعَ مَرَّاتٍ»
✧ When a dog laps from the vessel of one of you, then wash it seven times.
«طَهُورُ إِنَاءِ أَحَدِكُمْ إِذَا وَلَغَ فِيهِ الْكَلْبُ أَنْ يُغْسَلَ سَبْعَ مَرَّاتٍ»
✧ The purification of the vessel of one of you, when a dog laps from it, is to wash it seven times.
«إِذَا وَلَغَ الْكَلْبُ فِي إِنَاءِ أَحَدِكُمْ فَلْيُهْرِقْهُ ثُمَّ لِيَغْسِلْهُ سَبْعَ مَرَّاتٍ»
✧ When a dog laps from the vessel of one of you, let him pour it out, then wash it seven times.
«طَهُورُ إِنَاءِ أَحَدِكُمْ إِذَا وَلَغَ فِيهِ الْكَلْبُ أَنْ يَغْسِلَهُ سَبْعَ مَرَّاتٍ أُولَاهُنَّ بِالتُّرَابِ»
✧ The purification of the vessel of one of you, when a dog laps from it, is to wash it seven times, the first of them with dust.
«إِذَا وَلَغَ الْكَلْبُ فِي الْإِنَاءِ فَاغْسِلُوهُ سَبْعَ مَرَّاتٍ وَعَفِّرُوا الثَّامِنَةَ بِالتُّرَابِ»
✧ When a dog laps from the vessel, then wash it seven times and rub it the eighth time with dust.
Sahih Ibn Hibban 1299Hasan sahih
أَنَّ أَبَا قَتَادَةَ دَخَلَ عَلَيْهَا فَسَكَبَتْ لَهُ وُضُوءًا فَجَاءَتْ هِرَّةٌ تَشْرَبُ فَأَصْغَى أَبُو قَتَادَةَ الْإِنَاءَ فَشَرِبَتْ قَالَتْ كَبْشَةُ فَرَآنِي أَنْظُرُ إِلَيْهِ فَقَالَ أَتَعْجَبِينَ يَا ابْنَةَ أَخِي؟ فَقُلْتُ نَعَمْ فَقَالَ إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ «إِنَّهَا لَيْسَتْ بِنَجَسٍ إِنَّمَا هِيَ مِنَ الطَّوَّافِينَ عَلَيْكُمْ وَالطَّوَّافَاتِ»
Kabshah, daughter of Ka'b ibn Malik and wife of Ibn AbuQatadah, reported: AbuQatadah visited (me) and I poured out water for him for ablution. A cat came and drank some of it and he tilted the vessel for it until it drank some of it. Kabshah said: He saw me looking at him; he asked me: Are you surprised, my niece? I said: Yes. He then reported the Messenger of Allah ﷺ as saying: It is not unclean; it is one of those (males or females) who go round among you. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 75)

✧ "What prevented you, O so-and-so, from praying with the people?" He said, "O Messenger of Allah, I was afflicted by major ritual impurity and there is no water." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Use clean earth, for it suffices you." Then the Messenger of Allah ﷺ traveled on, and the people complained to him of thirst. He said: So he dismounted and summoned so-and-so—Abu Raja' used to name him but 'Awf forgot it—and summoned 'Ali, and said, "Go and search for water for us." They met a woman between two water skins, or two flat leather water bags, full of water on a camel of hers. They said to her, "Where is water?" She said, "My last sighting of water was yesterday at this hour, and our men have gone out to seek water." He said: So they said to her, "Come with us, then." She said, "To where?" They said, "To the Messenger of Allah ﷺ." She said, "This one who is called the Sabian?" They said, "He is the one you mean; so come with us, then." They brought her to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and related the story to him. He said: So they made her dismount from her camel, and the Messenger of Allah ﷺ called for a vessel, into which he poured from the mouths of the two water skins, or the two flat leather water bags. He tied their mouths and loosened the spouts, and it was announced among the people: "Draw water and give water." He said: So he gave drink to whom he wished, and drew water for whom he wished. The last of that was that the one who had been afflicted by major ritual impurity was given a vessel of water, and he said, "Go and pour it over yourself." He said: And she was standing watching what was being done with her water. He said: By Allah, when it was lifted from her, it seemed to us that it was more full than when it was first started with. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Gather food for her." He said: So they gathered for her from pressed dates, flour, and barley meal until they had gathered much food for her. They placed it in a cloth and mounted her on her camel, and put the cloth before her. He said: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said to her, "Do you know that, by Allah, we did not diminish anything from your water? But it was Allah who gave us to drink." He said: So she came to her people, having been detained from them. They said, "What detained you, O so-and-so?" She said, "The wonder: two men met me and took me to this one who is called the Sabian, and he did such and such with me. By Allah, he is either the greatest sorcerer between this and this, or he is truly the Messenger of Allah ﷺ." He said: After that, the Muslims used to raid the polytheists around her, but they would not strike the small group of tents in which she was. She said to her people, "By Allah, these people are deliberately leaving you alone. Would you accept Islam?" They obeyed her and entered Islam.

✧ "We were on a journey with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ until we reached the late hours of the night and then encountered that incident. There is no better incident for a traveler than that. None of us woke up except due to the intense heat of the sun that had risen. Fulan and Fulan awoke, and Abu Rajaa' used to call them by that name, but they were known as 'Awf. Then Umar ibn Al-Khattab (may Allah be pleased with him) woke up, and the Messenger of Allah ﷺ would not be awakened until he himself woke up, for we did not know what would happen to him in his sleep. So when Umar woke up and saw what had happened to the people, he raised his voice with takbeer (saying Allahu Akbar) continuously. He continued to do so until the Messenger of Allah ﷺ woke up with his voice. When the Messenger of Allah ﷺ woke up, those affected complained to him and he said, 'It is of no harm, so continue on.' He then continued on, and went a short distance before descending. He called for wudu (ablution) and performed it. Then the call to prayer was made, and he led the people in prayer. When he finished his prayer, he noticed a man who had separated himself and did not pray with the rest of the people. He asked him, 'What prevented you, O so-and-so, from praying with the people?' The man said, 'O Messenger of Allah, I was in a state of janaba (sexual impurity) and had no water.' The Messenger of Allah ﷺ told him, 'Go to the desert, for it will be sufficient for you.' Then the Messenger of Allah ﷺ continued on. The people complained to him of thirst, so he descended and called upon Fulan, whom Abu Rajaa' used to call, and he forgot his name, and Ali ibn Abi Talib (may Allah be pleased with him) and said, 'Go and bring water.' They set off and met a woman between two hills or valleys with a water container on the back of her camel. They asked her, 'Where is the water?' She replied, 'I made a vow with this water yesterday at this hour, and now we have run out.' They said to her, 'Go to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ.' She asked, 'Is this the one they call As-Saabi?' They replied, 'Yes, it is.' So she set off with them and they brought her to the Prophet ﷺ. He called for a container and poured the water from the mouths of the two hills or valleys into it. Then he placed their mouths back and released the 'Azaliyyah water (rainwater that has gathered in a valley) and called out to the people, 'Come and drink.' He then gave water to whoever he wished. This incident concluded with him giving the one affected by janaba a container of water and saying, 'Go and pour it over yourself.' He said, 'By Allah, it felt as if the liquid was being taken away from me while I was pouring it over my body.' The Messenger of Allah ﷺ then said, 'Gather some food for her.' So they gathered dates, figs, barley, and wheat for her until they had collected a large amount of food. They placed it in a cloth and carried it on her camel. They placed the cloth containing the food in front of her and the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said to her, 'You know, by Allah, that we did not take any of your water. Rather, it is Allah who provided it for us.'"

✧ I was sitting with 'Abdullah and Abu Musa, and Abu Musa said, "O Abu 'Abd al-Rahman, a man becomes junub and does not find water—should he pray?" He said, "No." He said, "Do you not remember what 'Ammar said to 'Umar: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ sent me and you, and I became junub, so I rolled in the dust, then came to the Prophet ﷺ and mentioned that to him. He said, 'It would have sufficed you to do like this,' and he struck the ground with his hand, then wiped his face and palms." He said, "I did not see 'Umar satisfied with that." He said, "What do you do with this verse: {And if you do not find water, then perform tayammum with clean earth}?" He said, "Indeed, if we granted them this concession, one of them would, when he found the water cold, perform tayammum with clean earth." Ya'la added: Al-A'mash said: I said to Shaqiq, "This was only because of that."
قَالَ أَبُو مُوسَى لِعَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ مَسْعُودٍ لَوْ أَنَّ جُنُبًا لَمْ يَجِدِ الْمَاءَ شَهْرًا لَمْ يُصَلِّ؟ قَالَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ لَا قَالَ أَبُو مُوسَى أَمَا تَذْكُرُ حِينَ قَالَ عَمَّارُ بْنُ يَاسِرٍ لِعُمَرَ يَا أَمِيرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ أَلَا تَتَّقِي اللَّهَ أَلَا تَذْكُرُ حِينَ بَعَثَنِي وَإِيَّاكَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ فِي الْإِبِلِ فَأَصَابَتْنِي جَنَابَةٌ فَتَمَعَّكْتُ فِي التُّرَابِ فَلَمَّا رَجَعْتُ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ أَخْبَرْتُهُ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «إِنَّمَا كَانَ يَكْفِيكَ أَنْ تَقُولَ هَكَذَا وَضَرَبَ بِيَدِهِ إِلَى الْأَرْضِ وَمَسَحَ وَجْهَهُ وَكَفَّيْهِ» قَالَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ لَا جَرَمَ مَا رَأَيْتُ عُمَرَ قَنَعَ بِذَلِكَ قَالَ أَبُو مُوسَى فَكَيْفَ بِهَذِهِ الْآيَةِ فِي سُورَةِ النِّسَاءِ {فَلَمْ تَجِدُوا مَاءً فَتَيَمَّمُوا} صَعِيدًا طَيِّبًا فَقَالَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ «إِنَّا لَوْ رَخَّصْنَا لَهُمْ فِي ذَلِكَ يُوشِكُ إِذَا بَرَدَ عَلَى جِلْدِ أَحَدِهِمُ الْمَاءُ أَنْ يَتَيَمَّمَ»
✧ Abu Musa said to 'Abdullah b. Mas'ud, "If a person who is junub does not find water for a month, should he not pray?" 'Abdullah said, "No." Abu Musa said, "Do you not remember when 'Ammar b. Yasir said to 'Umar, 'O Commander of the Believers, will you not fear Allah? Do you not remember when the Messenger of Allah ﷺ sent me and you on the camels, and I became junub, so I rolled in the dust? When I returned to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and told him, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, 'It would have sufficed you to do like this,' and he struck the ground with his hand, then wiped his face and palms." 'Abdullah said, "No indeed, I did not see 'Umar satisfied with that." Abu Musa said, "Then what about this verse in Surat al-Nisa': {And if you do not find water, then perform tayammum} with clean earth?" 'Abdullah said, "Indeed, if we granted them this concession, it would soon happen that when the water is cold on one of their skin, he would perform tayammum."

✧ A man came to 'Umar b. al-Khattab and said, "I became junub and did not find water." 'Umar said, "Do not pray." 'Ammar said, "Do you not remember, O Commander of the Believers, when I and you were in a military detachment, and we became junub and did not find water? As for you, you did not pray; as for me, I rolled in the dust and prayed. When we came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, I mentioned that to him, and he said, 'It would have sufficed you,' and the Prophet ﷺ struck the ground with his hand, then blew into them, and wiped his face and palms with them."

✧ I was with ʿAbd Allāh and Abū Mūsā. Abū Mūsā said, “O Abū ʿAbd al-Raḥmān, a man becomes junub and does not find water—does he pray?” He said, “Do you hear what ʿAmmār b. Yāsir said to ʿUmar: ‘The Messenger of Allah ﷺ sent us, me and you. I became junub and rolled in the dust, then I came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and told him. He said, “This is enough for you,” and he wiped his face and his palms once.’” He said, “I did not see ʿUmar accept that.” He said, “How do you apply this verse? ‘If you do not find water, then perform tayammum with clean earth.’” He said, “If we made it easy for them in this matter, one of them, when he found cold water, would wipe with dust.” Al-Aʿmash said: I said to Shaqīq, “He disliked it only for this reason.”

«تَيَمَّمْنَا مَعَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ إِلَى الْمَنَاكِبِ»
✧ We performed tayammum with the Prophet ﷺ up to the shoulders.

✧ Some sheep from the zakāt gathered with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. He said, “O Abū Dharr, go out to them.” I went out to them to al-Rabadha. I would become junub and remain for five or six days. I came to the Prophet ﷺ, and he said, “Abū Dharr.” I remained silent. Then he said, “Abū Dharr, may your mother be bereaved of you.” I told him. He called for a black slave girl who brought a vessel of water. She screened me and I screened myself with the riding camel, and I washed. It was as if a mountain had been lifted from me. He said ﷺ, “Clean earth is the ablution of a Muslim, even up to ten years. When you find water, apply it to your skin, for that is better.”

✧ Some sheep from the zakāt gathered with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. He said, “Go out, O Abū Dharr.” I went out with them to al-Rabadha. Five or six days would pass over me while I was junub, and I found unease in myself. I came to the Prophet ﷺ while he was leaning his back against the room. When he saw me, he said, “What is wrong with you, O Abū Dharr?” I sat down. He said, “What is wrong with you, O Abū Dharr? May your mother be bereaved of you.” I said, “O Messenger of Allah, I am junub.” He commanded a black slave girl, and she came with a vessel containing water. I screened myself with the camel and a cloth and washed. It was as if a mountain had been lifted from me. He said, “Come close. Clean earth is the ablution of a Muslim, even if for ten years. When he finds water, let him apply water to his skin.”
«الصَّعِيدُ الطَّيِّبُ وَضُوءُ الْمُسْلِمِ وَإِنْ لَمْ يَجِدِ الْمَاءَ عَشْرَ سِنِينَ»
"The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: 'Clean earth is the Wudu' of the Muslim, even if he does not find water for ten years.'" (Using translation from Nasāʾī 322)

✧ A man became junub in winter and asked, and he was ordered to wash, and he died. That was mentioned to the Prophet ﷺ, and he said, “What is wrong with them? They killed him; may Allah kill them, three times. Allah has made clean earth, or tayammum, a purifier.”

✧ "And indeed, a severe cold inflicted them that they had never seen before. So he went out to perform the morning prayer and said, 'By Allah, I had a wet dream last night, so I washed my private parts and performed ablution for prayer.' Then he led them in prayer. When he arrived to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ asked his companions, 'How did you find 'Umar and his companions?' They praised him and said, 'O Messenger of Allah, he led us in prayer while he was in a state of sexual impurity.' So the Messenger of Allah ﷺ sent for 'Umar and asked him, and he informed him about that and the severe cold he had encountered. 'Umar said, 'O Messenger of Allah, indeed Allah says, "And do not kill yourselves."' The Messenger of Allah ﷺ smiled at 'Umar."

✧ We went out with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ on one of his journeys until we were at al-Baydāʾ or Dhāt al-Jaysh. A necklace of mine broke. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ stopped to search for it, and the people stopped with him, and they were not at a water source, nor did they have water with them. Some people came to Abū Bakr al-Ṣiddīq and said, “Do you not see what ʿĀʾishah has done? She has made the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and the people stop, and they have no water and no water with them.” Abū Bakr reproached me and said what Allah willed him to say, and he began poking my side with his hand. The only thing that kept me from moving was the place of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ remained until morning without water, and Allah revealed the verse of tayammum, and they performed tayammum.

"We went out with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ on one of his journeys, and when we were in Al-Baida' or Dhat Al-Jaish, a necklace of mine broke and fell. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ stayed there looking for it and the people stayed with him. There was no water near them, and they did not have water with them. The people came to Abu Bakr, may Allah be pleased with him, and said: 'Do you see what 'Aishah has done? She has made the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and the people stop and they are not near any water and they do not have water with them.' Abu Bakr, may Allah be pleased with him, came while the Messenger of Allah ﷺ was resting his head on my thigh and had gone to sleep. He said: 'You have detained the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and the people, and they are not near any water and they do not have any water with them.'" 'Aishah said: "Abu Bakr rebuked me and said whatever Allah willed he would say. He started poking me on my hip, and the only thing that prevented me from moving was the fact that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ was resting on my thigh. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ slept until morning when he woke up without any water. Then Allah, the Mighty and Sublime revealed the verse of Tayammum. Usaid bin Hudair said: 'This is not the first time we have been blessed because of you, O family of Abu Bakr!'"

The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said to her: "This is not menstruation, but rather it is a vein, so perform ghusl and then pray." Aishah said: "Umm Habibah used to perform ghusl for every prayer. She would sit in a washtub, and the redness of the blood would rise above the water, then she would pray."
أَنَّ أُمَّ حَبِيبَةَ بِنْتَ جَحْشٍ كَانَتْ تَحْتَ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ عَوْفٍ اسْتُحِيضَتْ سَبْعَ سِنِينَ فَاسْتَفْتَتْ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ فِي ذَلِكَ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «إِنَّ هَذِهِ لَيْسَتْ بِحَيْضَةٍ وَلَكِنْ هَذَا عِرْقٌ فَاغْتَسِلِي وَصَلِّي» قَالَتْ عَائِشَةُ «فَكَانَتْ تَغْتَسِلُ عِنْدَ كُلِّ صَلَاةٍ فِي مِرْكَنِ حُجْرَةِ أُخْتِهَا زَيْنَبَ بِنْتِ جَحْشٍ حَتَّى يَعْلُوَ حُمْرَةُ الدَّمِ الْمَاءَ»

أَنَّ فَاطِمَةَ بِنْتَ أَبِي حُبَيْشٍ أَتَتِ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ فَقَالَتْ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنِّي أُسْتَحَاضُ الشَّهْرَ وَالشَّهْرَيْنِ؟ قَالَ «لَيْسَ ذَاكَ بِحَيْضٍ وَلَكِنَّهُ عِرْقٌ فَإِذَا أَقْبَلَ الْحَيْضُ فَدَعِي الصَّلَاةَ عَدَدَ أَيَّامِكِ الَّتِي كُنْتِ تَحِيضِينَ فِيهِ فَإِذَا أَدْبَرَتْ فَاغْتَسِلِي وَتَوَضَّئِي لِكُلِّ صَلَاةٍ»
✧ Fatimah bt. Abi Hubaysh came to the Prophet ﷺ and said: "O Messenger of Allah, I experience istihadah for a month or two months?" He said: "That is not menstruation, but rather it is a vein. When menstruation comes, abandon prayer for the number of days you used to menstruate in it. When it departs, perform ghusl and perform wudu for every prayer."
سُئِلَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ عَنِ الْمُسْتَحَاضَةِ فَقَالَ «تَدَعُ الصَّلَاةَ أَيَّامَهَا ثُمَّ تَغْتَسِلُ غُسْلًا وَاحِدًا ثُمَّ تَتَوَضَّأُ عِنْدَ كُلِّ صَلَاةٍ»

✧ The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said to the servant girl: "Hand me the khumrah," intending to spread it out and pray on it. I said: "She is menstruating." He said: "Her menstruation is not in her hand."
«نَاوِلِينِي الْخُمْرَةَ مِنَ الْمَسْجِدِ» قُلْتُ إِنِّي حَائِضٌ قَالَ «إِنَّ حَيْضَتَكِ لَيْسَتْ فِي يَدِكِ»
✧ "Hand me the khumrah from the mosque." I said: "I am menstruating." He said: "Your menstruation is not in your hand."

✧ I was certainly brought a vessel while I was menstruating, and I would drink from it. Then he would take it and place his mouth on the spot where my mouth had been and drink. And I would gnaw on a bone while I was menstruating, and he would take it and place his mouth on the spot where my mouth had been.
«إِنْ كُنْتُ لَآتِي النَّبِيَّ ﷺ بِالْإِنَاءِ فَآخُذُهُ فَأَشْرَبُ مِنْهُ فَيَأْخُذُ فَيَضَعُ فَاهُ مَوْضِعَ فِيَّ فَيَشْرَبُ وَإِنْ كُنْتُ لَآخُذُ الْعَرْقَ مِنَ اللَّحْمِ فَآكُلُهُ فَيَضَعُ فَاهُ عَلَى مَوْضِعِ فِيَّ فَيَأْكُلُهُ وَأَنَا حَائِضٌ»

✧ The Jews, when a woman among them menstruated, they would turn her out of the houses, and they would not eat with her, nor drink with her, nor have intercourse with her in the houses. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ was asked about that, and Allah, mighty and sublime, revealed: 'They ask you about menstruation. Say: It is harm, so keep away from wives during menstruation' [al-Baqarah 2:222]. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: 'Do everything except intercourse.' The Jews said: 'We do not see this man leaving anything of our affair but he contradicts us.' Usayd b. Hudayr and 'Abbad b. Bishr came and said: 'O Messenger of Allah, the Jews say such and such. Shall we not have intercourse with them during menstruation?' He said: The face of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ changed so much that I thought he had become angry with them. They left, and a gift of milk came to him. He sent after them, and we thought that he had not been angry with them, and he gave them to drink.
بَيْنَمَا أَنَا مُضْطَجِعَةٌ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ فِي الْخَمِيلَةِ إِذْ حِضْتُ فَانْسَلَلْتُ فَأَخَذْتُ ثِيَابَ حِيضَتِي فَقَالَ لِي رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «أَنَفِسْتِ؟ » قُلْتُ نَعَمْ فَدَعَانِي فَاضْطَجَعْتُ مَعَهُ فِي الْخَمِيلَةِ

✧ When the Messenger of Allah ﷺ met a man from his companions, he would touch him and supplicate for him. He said: I saw him one day early in the morning, and I turned away from him. Then I came to him when the day had risen high, and he said: 'I saw you, and you turned away from me.' I said: 'I was in a state of major ritual impurity, and I feared that you would touch me.' The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: 'A Muslim does not become impure.'

✧ The Messenger of Allah ﷺ threw the pebble at the Jamrah on the Day of Sacrifice, then he commanded that the sacrificial camels be slaughtered, and they were slaughtered. The barber was sitting with him. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ arranged his hair with his hand on that day, then he grasped the side of his right part on his hair. Then he said to the barber: 'Shave.' So he shaved. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ divided his hair that day among those present from the people: the hair and the two hairs. Then he grasped with his hand the side of his left part on his hair.

✧ A group of Bedouins from 'Urayna came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and found the climate of Madinah unsuitable. So he ordered them to drink from the milk and urine of camels, and they drank until they became well. Then they killed the shepherds and drove off the camels. The Prophet of Allah ﷺ sent after them, and they were brought back. He cut off their hands and feet and branded their eyes.
«أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ أَمَرَ الْعُرَنِيِّينَ أَنْ يَشْرَبُوا مِنْ أَبْوَالِ الْإِبِلِ وَأَلْبَانِهَا»

✧ The delegation from 'Urayna came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and found the climate of Madinah unsuitable. So the Messenger of Allah ﷺ sent them to his milch camels and said, "Drink from their milk and urine." They drank until they were cured and gained weight. Then they killed the shepherd of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, drove off the herd, and apostatized. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ sent in their pursuit, and they were brought back. He cut off their hands and feet, branded their eyes, and left them in the hot sun.
قُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنَّ بِأَرْضِنَا أَعْنَابًا نَعْتَصِرُهَا وَنَشْرَبُ مِنْهَا قَالَ «لَا تَشْرَبْ» قُلْتُ أَفَنَشْفِي بِهَا الْمَرْضَى؟ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ « إِنَّمَا ذَلِكَ دَاءٌ وَلَيْسَ بِشِفَاءٍ»
✧ I said, "O Messenger of Allah, our land has grapes that we press and drink from." He said, "Do not drink." I said, "Can we treat the sick with it?" The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "That is only a disease, not a cure."

✧ Suwayd b. Tariq asked the Messenger of Allah ﷺ about wine and said, "We make it." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ forbade him from that. He said, "O Messenger of Allah, it is a medicine." He ﷺ said, "It is not a medicine, but a disease."
اشْتَكَتِ ابْنَةٌ لِي فَنَبَذْتُ لَهَا فِي كُوزٍ فَدَخَلَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ وَهُوَ يَغْلِي فَقَالَ «مَا هَذَا؟ » فَقَالَتْ إِنَّ ابْنَتِي اشْتَكَتْ فَنَبَذْنَا لَهَا هَذَا فَقَالَ ﷺ «إِنَّ اللَّهَ لَمْ يَجْعَلْ شِفَاءَكُمْ فِي حَرَامٍ»

دَخَلَ أَعْرَابِيٌّ الْمَسْجِدَ وَرَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ جَالِسٌ فَقَالَ اللَّهُمَّ اغْفِرْ لِي وَلِمُحَمَّدٍ وَلَا تَغْفِرْ لِأَحَدٍ مَعَنَا فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «لَقَدِ احْتَظَرْتَ وَاسِعًا» ثُمَّ تَنَحَّى الْأَعْرَابِيُّ فَبَالَ فِي نَاحِيَةِ الْمَسْجِدِ فَقَالَ الْأَعْرَابِيُّ بَعْدَ أَنْ فَقِهَ فِي الْإِسْلَامِ إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ لَهُ «إِنَّ هَذَا الْمَسْجِدَ إِنَّمَا هُوَ لِذِكْرِ اللَّهِ وَالصَّلَاةِ وَلَا يُبَالُ فِيهِ» ثُمَّ دَعَا بِسَجْلٍ مِنْ مَاءٍ فَأَفْرَغَهُ عَلَيْهِ
✧ A Bedouin entered the mosque while the Messenger of Allah ﷺ was sitting. He said, "O Allah, forgive me and Muhammad, and do not forgive anyone else with us."

After the Bedouin gained understanding of Islam, he said that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ told him, "This mosque is only for remembering Allah and prayer, and one should not urinate in it." Then he called for a pail of water and poured it over the urine.

كَانَ أَبُو مُوسَى يُشَدِّدُ فِي الْبَوْلِ وَيَقُولُ إِنَّ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ كَانَ إِذَا أَصَابَ جِلْدَ أَحَدِهِمْ بَوْلٌ قَرَضَهُ بِالْمِقْرَاضِ فَقَالَ حُذَيْفَةُ «لَوَدِدْتُ أَنَّ صَاحِبَكُمْ لَا يُشَدِّدُ هَذَا التَّشْدِيدَ لَقَدْ رَأَيْتُنِي أَنَا وَرَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ نَتَمَاشَى فَأَتَى سُبَاطَةَ قَوْمٍ خَلْفَ حَائِطٍ فَقَامَ كَمَا يَقُومُ أَحَدُكُمْ فَبَالَ قَالَ فَاسْتَتَرْتُ مِنْهُ فَأَشَارَ إِلَيَّ فَجِئْتُ فَقُمْتُ عِنْدَ عَقِبِهِ حَتَّى فَرَغَ»
✧ Abu Musa was strict about urine and said, "When urine touched the skin of any of the Children of Israel, they would cut it off with scissors." Hudhayfah said, "I wish your companion would not be so strict. I saw myself walking with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ when he came to a people's rubbish dump behind a wall and stood as one of you would stand and urinated. I hid from him, but he gestured to me, so I came and stood at his heels until he finished."
«مَنْ حَدَّثَكَ أَنَّ نَبِيَّ اللَّهِ ﷺ كَانَ يَبُولُ قَائِمًا فَكَذِّبْهُ أَنَا رَأَيْتُهُ يَبُولُ قَاعِدًا»
✧ "Whoever tells you that the Prophet of Allah ﷺ urinated standing, do not believe him. I saw him urinating sitting."
«إِنِّي أَنَا لَكُمْ مِثْلُ الْوَالِدِ أُعَلِّمُكُمْ إِذَا أَتَيْتُمُ الْغَائِطَ فَلَا تَسْتَقْبِلُوا الْقِبْلَةَ وَلَا تَسْتَدْبِرُوهَا وَلَا يَسْتَنْجِ أَحَدُكُمْ بِيَمِينِهِ» وَكَانَ يَأْمُرُ بِثَلَاثَةِ أَحْجَارٍ وَيَنْهَى عَنِ الرَّوْثَةِ وَالرِّمَّةِ
✧ "I am to you like a father, teaching you. When you go to relieve yourselves, do not face the qiblah or turn your backs to it, and none of you should cleanse himself with his right hand." He used to command using three stones and forbid using dung and bones.
سَأَلْتُ عَلْقَمَةَ هَلْ كَانَ ابْنُ مَسْعُودٍ شَهِدَ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ لَيْلَةَ الْجِنِّ فَقَالَ عَلْقَمَةُ أَنَا سَأَلْتُ ابْنَ مَسْعُودٍ فَقُلْتُ هَلْ شَهِدَ أَحَدٌ مِنْكُمْ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ لَيْلَةَ الْجِنِّ؟ فَقَالَ لَا وَلَكِنَّا كُنَّا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ ذَاتَ لَيْلَةٍ فَفَقَدْنَاهُ فَالْتَمَسْنَاهُ فِي الْأَوْدِيَةِ وَالشِّعَابِ فَقُلْنَا اسْتُطِيرَ أَوِ اغْتِيلَ قَالَ فَبِتْنَا بِشَرِّ لَيْلَةٍ بَاتَ بِهَا قَوْمٌ فَلَمَّا أَصْبَحْنَا إِذَا هُوَ جَاءَ مِنْ قِبَلِ حِرَاءَ قَالَ فَقُلْنَا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ فَقَدْنَاكَ فَطَلَبْنَاكَ فَلَمْ نَجِدْكَ فَبِتْنَا بِشَرِّ لَيْلَةٍ بَاتَ بِهَا قَوْمٌ فَقَالَ «أَتَانِي دَاعِي الْجِنِّ فَذَهَبْتُ مَعَهُ فَقَرَأْتُ عَلَيْهِمُ الْقُرْآنَ» قَالَ فَانْطَلَقَ بِنَا فَأَرَانَا نِيرَانَهُمْ وَسَأَلُوهُ الزَّادَ فَقَالَ «لَكُمْ كُلُّ عَظْمٍ ذُكِرَ اسْمُ اللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ يَقَعُ فِي أَيْدِيكُمْ أَوْفَرَ مَا يَكُونُ لَحْمًا وَكُلُّ بَعْرٍ عَلَفًا لِدَوَابِّكُمْ» فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «فَلَا تَسْتَنْجُوا بِالْعَظْمِ وَلَا بِالْبَعْرِ فَإِنَّهُ زَادُ إِخْوَانِكُمْ مِنَ الْجِنِّ»
✧ I asked 'Alqamah, "Did Ibn Mas'ud attend the Night of the Jinn with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ?" 'Alqamah said, "I asked Ibn Mas'ud, 'Did any of you attend the Night of the Jinn with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ?' He said, 'No, but we were with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ one night and lost him. We searched for him in the valleys and mountain passes and said, "He has been taken up or assassinated." He said, "We spent the worst night any people ever spent." When morning came, he came from the direction of Hira'. We said, "O Messenger of Allah, we lost you and searched for you but did not find you, so we spent the worst night any people ever spent." He said, "A caller from the jinn came to me, and I went with him and recited the Qur'an to them." He said, "He took us and showed us their fires. They asked him for provision, so he said, 'You will have every bone upon which the name of Allah has been mentioned, falling into your hands with as much meat as possible, and every piece of dung as fodder for your animals.'" The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "So do not cleanse yourselves with bones or dung, for they are the provision of your brothers among the jinn.""
«نَهَى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ أَنْ يَمَسَّ الرَّجُلُ ذَكَرَهُ بِيَمِينِهِ»
✧ "The Messenger of Allah ﷺ forbade a man to touch his private part with his right hand."
«إِذَا بَالَ أَحَدُكُمْ فَلَا يَمْسَحْ ذَكَرَهُ بِيَمِينِهِ وَلَا يَسْتَنْجِي بِيَمِينِهِ»
✧ He heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ saying: "When any one of you wakes up from sleep, let him not touch his private parts with his right hand, nor clean himself with his right hand."
نَهَى عَنِ الِاسْتِنْجَاءِ بِالْيَمِينِ»
✧ "The Messenger of Allah ﷺ forbade using the right hand for istinja."
«إِذَا تَوَضَّأْتَ فَاسْتَنْثِرْ وَإِذَا اسْتَجْمَرْتَ فَأَوْتِرْ»
✧ When you perform wudu', then draw water into your nose and expel it, and when you cleanse yourself with stones, then make it an odd number.
«إِذَا اسْتَجْمَرَ أَحَدُكُمْ فَلْيُوتِرْ فَإِنَّ اللَّهَ تَعَالَى وِتْرٌ يُحِبُّ الْوِتْرَ أَمَا تَرَى السَّمَاوَاتِ سَبْعًا وَالْأَيَّامَ سَبْعًا وَالطَّوَافَ؟ » وَذَكَرَ أَشْيَاءَ
✧ About the Prophet ﷺ said, "When one of you wakes up, let him observe Witr prayer, for indeed Allah Mighty and Majestic is odd-numbered and He loves odd-numbered." He also mentioned the seven heavens, seven days, and the Tawaf (circumambulation of the Kaaba). And he mentioned some other things.
«مَنْ تَوَضَّأَ فَلْيَسْتَنْثِرْ وَمَنِ اسْتَجْمَرَ فَلْيُوتِرْ»
✧ Whoever performs wudu' should draw water into his nose and expel it, and whoever cleanses himself with stones should make it an odd number.
«إِذَا تَوَضَّأَ أَحَدُكُمْ فَلْيَجْعَلِ الْمَاءَ فِي أَنْفِهِ ثُمَّ لِيَنْثِرْ وَمَنِ اسْتَجْمَرَ فَلْيُوتِرْ»
✧ When one of you performs wudu', let him place water in his nose, then expel it, and whoever cleanses himself with stones, let him make it an odd number.
«إِنَّمَا أَنَا لَكُمْ مِثْلُ الْوَالِدِ فَإِذَا ذَهَبَ أَحَدُكُمْ إِلَى الْغَائِطِ فَلَا يَسْتَقْبِلِ الْقِبْلَةَ وَلَا يَسْتَدْبِرْهَا وَلَا يَسْتَطِبْ بِيَمِينِهِ» وَكَانَ يَأْمُرُ بِثَلَاثَةِ أَحْجَارٍ وَيَنْهَى عَنِ الرَّوْثِ وَالرِّمَّةِ
✧ Indeed, I am to you like a parent. When one of you goes to relieve himself, he should not face the qiblah nor turn his back to it, and he should not cleanse himself with his right hand." And he commanded using three stones and forbade using dung and bones.
«مَا رَأَيْتُ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ صَائِمًا الْعَشْرَ قَطُّ وَلَا خَرَجَ مِنَ الْخَلَاءِ إِلَّا مَسَّ مَاءً»
✧ I never saw the Prophet ﷺ fasting during the ten days, and he never came out from the privy except that he touched water.
«كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ إِذَا خَرَجَ مِنْ حَاجَتِهِ أَجِيءُ أَنَا وَغُلَامٌ مِنَ الْأَنْصَارِ بِإِدَاوَةٍ مِنْ مَاءٍ فَيَسْتَنْجِي بِهِ»
✧ When the Messenger of Allah ﷺ came out from his need, I and a boy from the Ansar would bring a vessel of water, and he would cleanse himself with it.
مُرْنَ أَزْوَاجَكُنَّ أَنْ يَسْتَطِيبُوا بِالْمَاءِ فَإِنِّي أَسْتَحْيِيهِمْ مِنْهُ «إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ كَانَ يَفْعَلُهُ»
✧ Command your husbands to cleanse themselves with water, for I am too shy to tell them. Indeed, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to do that.
كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ إِذَا خَرَجَ مِنَ الْخَلَاءِ قَالَ «غُفْرَانَكَ»
✧ When the Messenger of Allah ﷺ came out from the privy, he would say, "Your forgiveness."
«بِتُّ عِنْدَ خَالَتِي مَيْمُونَةَ فَرَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَامَ فَبَالَ ثُمَّ غَسَلَ وَجْهَهُ ثُمَّ نَامَ»
✧ I spent the night with my maternal aunt Maymunah, and I saw the Messenger of Allah ﷺ get up, urinate, then wash his face, then sleep.
«دَخَلَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ الْخَلَاءَ فَأَتَيْتُهُ بِمَاءٍ فِي تَوْرٍ أَوْ رَكْوَةٍ فَاسْتَنْجَى بِهِ وَمَسَحَ يَدَهُ الْيُسْرَى عَلَى الْأَرْضِ فَغَسَلَهَا ثُمَّ أَتَيْتُهُ بِإِنَاءٍ فَتَوَضَّأَ»
✧ "The Messenger of Allah ﷺ entered the privy, and I brought him water in a small vessel or a leather bucket. He performed istinja' with it, wiped his left hand on the ground, and washed it. Then I brought him a container and he performed wudu'."
