[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ performed Zuhr and Asr prayers, two units of prayer for each, in Al-Bat-ha. He then stood in front of him an animal named Anzah and performed ablution. The people began wiping their faces with his ablution water.  

خَرَجَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ بِالْهَاجِرَةِ فَصَلَّى بِالْبَطْحَاءِ الظُّهْرَ وَالْعَصْرَ رَكْعَتَيْنِ رَكْعَتَيْنِ وَنَصَبَ بَيْنَ يَدَيْهِ عَنْزَةً وَتَوَضَّأَ فَجَعَلَ النَّاسُ يَتَمَسَّحُونَ بِوَضُوئِهِ  

Messenger of Allah ﷺ came to visit me while I was sick and unconscious. He performed ablution and sprinkled the remaining water on me and I became conscious and said, "O Messenger of Allah ﷺ! To whom will my inheritance go as I have neither ascendants nor descendants?" Then the Divine verses regarding Fara'id (inheritance) were revealed. (Using translation from Bukhārī 194)   

سَمِعْتُ جَابِرًا يَقُولُ كَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ يَعُودُونِي وَأَنَا مَرِيضٌ لَا أَعْقِلُ فَتَوَضَّأَ وَصَبَّ عَلَيَّ مِنْ وَضُوئِهِ فَعَقَلْتُ فَقُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ لِمَنِ الْمِيرَاثُ إِنَّمَا يَرِثُنِي كَلَالَةً فَنَزَلَتْ آيَةُ الْفَرَائِضِ  

[Machine] About Maymunah, she mentioned the Prophet's ﷺ ablution. She said, "When he finished, he moved aside and washed his feet. I gave him a towel, but he refused and instead shook off the water with his hand."  

عَنْ مَيْمُونَةَ فَذَكَرَتْ غُسْلَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَتْ فَلَمَّا فَرَغَ تَنَحَّى فَغَسَلَ رِجْلَيْهِ فَأَعْطَيْتُهُ مِلْحَفَةً فَأَبَى فَجَعَلَ يَنْفُضُ الْمَاءَ بِيَدِهِ  

[Machine] I saw the Messenger of Allah ﷺ when he performed ablution, he wiped his face with the edge of his garment. Abu Al-Abbas said, "I heard Abu Raja' say, 'Ahmad ibn Hanbal asked me about this hadith, so I wrote it down.' The sheikh (Ahmad ibn Hanbal) said, 'Its chain of narration is not strong, but we have narrated it from Yunus ibn Ubayd that he said, 'It is possible that Muhammad ibn Sirin did not find a handkerchief, so he wiped his face with his garment.' And Abu Saeed ibn Abi Amr informed us that Abu Al-Abbas narrated to us, who is Rabee', who said, 'Al-Shafi'i said, 'If someone asks, "From where did it become impure?" It can be said, "It was before the Messenger of Allah ﷺ performed ablution. And undoubtedly, some impurity may touch his clothes during ablution, and it is not known whether he washed his clothes or changed them. And I do not know if any Muslim did this, but it would be reasonable if the water did not touch impurity, it would not become impure."  

رَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ إِذَا تَوَضَّأَ مَسَحَ وَجْهَهُ بِطَرْفِ ثَوْبِهِ قَالَ أَبُو الْعَبَّاسِ سَمِعْتُ أَبَا رَجَاءٍ يَقُولُ سَأَلَنِي أَحْمَدُ بْنُ حَنْبَلٍ عَنْ هَذَا الْحَدِيثِ فَكَتَبَهُ قَالَ الشَّيْخُ وَإِسْنَادُهُ لَيْسَ بِالْقَوِيِّ وَقَدْ رُوِّينَاهُ عَنْ يُونُسَ بْنِ عُبَيْدٍ أَنَّهُ قَالَ رُبَّمَا لَمْ يَجِدْ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ سِيرِينَ الْمَنْدِيلَ فَيَمْسَحُ وَجْهَهُ بِثَوْبِهِ 1121 وَأَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو سَعِيدِ بْنُ أَبِي عَمْرٍو ثنا أَبُو الْعَبَّاسِ أنا الرَّبِيعُ قَالَ قَالَ الشَّافِعِيُّ فَإِنْ قَالَ قَائِلٌ فَمِنْ أَيْنَ لَمْ يَكُنْ نَجِسًا؟ قِيلَ مِنْ قِبَلِ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ تَوَضَّأَ وَلَا شَكَّ أَنَّ مِنَ الْوُضُوءِ مَا يُصِيبُ ثِيَابَهُ وَلَمْ يُعْلَمْ غَسْلُ ثِيَابِهِ مَنْهُ وَلَا أَبْدَلَهَا وَلَا عَلِمْتُهُ فَعَلَ ذَلِكَ أَحَدٌ مَنَ الْمُسْلِمِينَ وَكَانَ مَعْقُولًا إِذْ لَمْ تَمَسَّ الْمَاءَ نَجَاسَةٌ أَنَّهُ لَا يَنْجُسُ  

[Machine] Indeed, water is pure and cannot be cleansed.  

إِنَّ الْمَاءَ طَهُورٌ وَلَا يُطَهَّرُ
