أَخْبَرَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو عَوَانَةَ عَنْ قَتَادَةَ عَنْ مُعَاذَةَ عَنْ عَائِشَةَ أَنَّهَا قَالَتْ
مُرْنَ أَزْوَاجَكُنَّ أَنْ يَسْتَطِيبُوا بِالْمَاءِ فَإِنِّي أَسْتَحْيِيهِمْ مِنْهُ إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ كَانَ يَفْعَلُهُ

What scholars said about it
In their own words, as Hadith Unlocked records them. They are shown, not summarised into a grade.
- Aḥmad b. Ḥanbal
لم يصح في الاستنجاء بالماء حديث وحديث عائشة لا يصح
machine translationNo hadith has been authentically reported concerning cleaning oneself with water after relieving oneself (istinjāʾ), and the hadith of ʿĀʾishah is not authentic.
in سنن النسائي, p. 46 - Aḥmad b. Ḥanbal
لم يصح في الاستنجاء بالماء حديث قيل فحديث عائشة قال لا يصح لأن غير قتادة لم يرفعه
machine translationNo hadith has been authentically reported concerning istinjāʾ with water. It was said: What about the hadith of ʿĀʾishah? He said: It is not authentic, because no one other than Qatādah raised it to the Prophet (marfūʿ).
in سنن النسائي, p. 46 - إبراهيم الحربي
هذا الحديث اختلف فيه أصحاب معاذة فرفعه قتادة وليس منتشرا عنه وأوقفه يزيد الرشك واتفق على ذلك أصحابه إلا ابن شوذب فإنه رفعه والوهم في ذلك منه أو من ضمرة والصواب ما أجمع عليه شعبة وابن علية وحماد بن زيد وعبد الوارث وجعفر بن سليمان ورواه أبو قلابة أيضا فأوقفه ولم أسمعه عنه إلا من حديث أيوب ولم يختلف أصحاب أيوب إلا ابن طهمان فإنه رفعه ورواه عاصم الأحول فأوقفه إلا أن أبا زيد قد رفعه عنه وعاصم أحفظ من أبي زيد إن شاء الله ورواه إسحاق بن سويد وعائشة ابنة عرار فأوقفاه
machine translationThe companions of Muʿādhah differed concerning this hadith. Qatādah raised it (as a statement of the Prophet ﷺ), but it is not widespread from him. Yazīd al-Rishk made it stopped (mawqūf, a statement of the Companion), and his companions agreed upon that, except Ibn Shawdhab, who raised it; the error in that is from him or from Ḍamrah. The correct position is what Shuʿbah, Ibn ʿUlayyah, Ḥammād b. Zayd, ʿAbd al-Wārith and Jaʿfar b. Sulaymān agreed upon. Abū Qilābah also narrated it and made it mawqūf, and I did not hear it from him except through the hadith of Ayyūb. The companions of Ayyūb did not differ, except Ibn Ṭahmān, who raised it. ʿĀṣim al-Aḥwal narrated it and made it mawqūf, except that Abū Zayd raised it from him, and ʿĀṣim is a better memorizer than Abū Zayd, God willing. Isḥāq b. Suwayd and ʿĀʾishah bint ʿIrār also narrated it and made it mawqūf.
in سنن النسائي, p. 46 - Yaḥyá b. Maʿīn
انقطاع ما بين قتادة ومعاذة
