[Machine] Zuhair in his speech criticized people for following their own opinions and not adhering to what is agreed upon and not specified. He said, "Hurry up and bring it to me." It was brought to him and he said, "Oh enemy of yourself, have you reached a point where you give opinions to the people in the mosque of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ ?" He said, "I did not do that, but my companions told me that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said so." He asked, "Who are your companions?" He replied, "Ubayy ibn Ka'b, Abu Ayyub, and Rifaa'ah ibn Rafa'ah." So I turned to what this young boy was saying, and Zuhair said in his speech, "This boy does not say what I say." I said, "We used to do it in the time of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ ." He asked, "Did you ask the Messenger of Allah ﷺ about it?" He said, "We used to do it during his time and we did not wash ourselves." He gathered the people and clapped, and the people agreed that water is only made of water, except for two men: Ali ibn Abi Talib and Mu'adh ibn Jabal. They said, "When circumcision is surpassed, then washing is necessary." Ali said, "O Commander of the Believers, if the people knew about this, they would think that these are the wives of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ ." So he sent to Hafsah, and she said, "I do not have knowledge about it." He sent to Aisha, and she said, "When circumcision is surpassed, then washing is necessary." Umar then became angry and said, "I am not informed that anyone does it and does not wash except I will punish him severely."
