[Machine] We returned with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ from Mecca to Medina and we reached a water source on the way. A group of people were hurrying to perform ablution while they were in a rush for Asr prayer. We reached them and their heels were white, untouched by water. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Complete your ablution properly. Woe to the heels from the fire, complete your ablution properly."  

رَجَعْنَا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ مِنْ مَكَّةَ إِلَى الْمَدِينَةِ وَانْتَهَيْنَا إِلَى مَاءٍ بِالطَّرِيقِ فَتَعَجَّلَ قَوْمٌ يَتَوَضَّئُونَ وَهُمْ عِجَالٌ عِنْدَ صَلَاةِ الْعَصْرِ فَانْتَهَيْنَا إِلَيْهِمْ وَأَعْقَابُهُمْ بِيضٌ تَلُوحُ لَمْ يَمَسَّهَا الْمَاءُ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ أَسْبِغُوا الْوُضُوءَ وَيْلٌ لِلْأَعْقَابِ مِنَ النَّارِ أَسْبِغُوا الْوُضُوءَ  

[Machine] I heard Abu Huraira (may Allah be pleased with him) while he was passing by us and people were performing ablution from the purification (water source), saying, "Perform ablution thoroughly, for surely the Prophet ﷺ said, 'Woe to the heels (from entering) the Fire!' That is the wording of the hadith of Adam."  

سَمِعْتُ أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ وَكَانَ يَمُرُّ بِنَا وَالنَّاسُ يَتَوَضَّئُونَ مِنَ الْمَطْهَرَةِ فَيَقُولُ أَسْبِغُوا الْوُضُوءَ فَإِنَّ أَبَا الْقَاسِمِ ﷺ قَالَ وَيْلٌ لِلْأَعْقَابِ مِنَ النَّارِ لَفْظُ حَدِيثِ آدَمَ  

[Machine] That the Prophet ﷺ saw a man who did not wash his heels and said, "Woe to the heels from the Fire!"  

أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ رَأَى رَجُلًا لَمْ يَغْسِلْ عَقِبَهُ فَقَالَ وَيْلٌ لِلْأَعْقَابِ مِنَ النَّارِ  

[Machine] She says to her brother, "O Abdur Rahman, perform the ablution thoroughly, for I have heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say, 'Woe to the heels from the Fire on the Day of Resurrection."  

ؓ تَقُولُ لَأَخِيهَا يَا عَبْدَ الرَّحْمَنِ أَسْبِغِ الْوُضُوءَ فَإِنِّي سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ وَيْلٌ لِلْأَعْقَابِ مِنَ النَّارِ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ  

[Machine] I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say, "Woe to the people of the burning wind (Iraq) from the Fire."  

سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ وَيْلٌ لِلْعَرَاقِيبِ مِنَ النَّارِ  

[Machine] "He heard the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ saying, 'Woe unto the ankles and bellies of the feet from the fire.'"  

أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ يَقُولُ وَيْلٌ لِلْأَعْقَابِ وَبُطُونِ الْأَقْدَامِ مِنَ النَّارِ  

'Umar b. Khattab said that a person performed ablution and left a small part equal to the space of a nail (unwashed). The Apostle of Allah ﷺ saw that and said: Go back and perform ablution well. He then went back (performed ablution well) and offered the prayer. (Using translation from Muslim 243)   

أَنَّ رَجُلًا تَوَضَّأَ فَتَرَكَ مَوْضِعَ ظُفُرٍ عَلَى قَدْمِهِ فَأَبْصَرَهُ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ فَقَالَ ارْجِعْ فَأَحْسِنْ وُضُوءَكَ فَرَجَعَ ثُمَّ صَلَّى  

A person came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. He performed ablution and left a small part equal to the space of a nail upon his foot. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said to him : Go back and perform ablution well. Abu Dawud said: This tradition is not known through Jarir b. Hazim. It was transmitted only by Ibn Wahab. Another version adds the wording : “ Go back and perform the ablution well.” (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 173)   

أَنَّ رَجُلًا جَاءَ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَدْ تَوَضَّأَ وَتَرَكَ عَلَى قَدَمِهِ مِثْلَ مَوْضِعِ الظُّفُرِ فَقَالَ لَهُ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ ارْجِعْ فَأَحْسِنْ وُضُوءَكَ  

[Machine] He used to read it like that.  

أَنَّهُ كَانَ يَقْرَؤُهَا كَذَلِكَ  

[Machine] The matter returned to washing.  

رَجَعَ الْأَمْرُ إِلَى الْغَسْلِ  

[Machine] The Quran returned to ablution and recited "And your feet up to the ankles" [Al-Ma'idah 6] with its pronunciation.  

رَجَعَ الْقُرْآنُ إِلَى الْغَسْلِ وَقَرَأَ {وَأَرْجُلَكُمْ إِلَى الْكَعْبَيْنِ} [المائدة 6] بِنَصْبِهَا  

[Machine] The Quran returned to the topic of washing and recited "And wash your feet" [Al-Ma'idah: 6] with its accusative case.  

رَجَعَ الْقُرْآنُ إِلَى الْغَسْلِ وَقَرَأَ {وَأَرْجُلَكُمْ} [المائدة 6] بِنَصْبِهَا  

[Machine] That he used to recite it "and your feet" [Al-Ma'idah 6] as an object.  

أَنَّهُ كَانَ يَقْرَؤُهَا {وَأَرْجُلَكُمْ} [المائدة 6] نَصْبًا  

[Machine] Regarding the passage, the translation into English is: "And [O believers], wash your feet." (Surah Al-Ma'idah 5:6)  

عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ عَمْرِو بْنِ غَيْلَانَ {وَأَرْجُلَكُمْ} [المائدة 6] نَصْبًا  

[Machine] I have read from Nafi' ibn Abd al-Rahman ibn Abi Nu'aim al-Qari' this recitation more than once, and he mentioned in it "your heads and your legs" open.  

قَرَأْتُ عَلَى نَافِعِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ أَبِي نُعَيْمٍ الْقَارِئِ هَذِهِ الْقِرَاءَةَ غَيْرَ مَرَّةٍ فَذَكَرَ فِيهَا {بِرُءُوسِكُمْ وَأَرْجُلَكُمْ} مَفْتُوحَةً  

[Machine] And about Al-Kisayi, all of these were attributed to him, and whoever diminished it, it is only for the sake of ease. Al-A'mash said: They used to recite it with a lowering tone and they used to wash it.  

وَعَنِ الْكِسَائِيِّ كُلُّ هَؤُلَاءِ نَصَبُوهَا وَمَنْ خَفَضَهَا فَإِنَّمَا هُوَ لِلْمُجَاوَرَةِ قَالَ الْأَعْمَشُ كَانُوا يَقْرَءُونَهَا بِالْخَفْضِ وَكَانُوا يَغْسِلُونَ  

[Machine] He said, "Wash the feet up to the ankles as you have been commanded, and it has been narrated in the authentic hadith from Amr ibn Absa from the Prophet ﷺ about ablution, then he washes his feet up to the ankles as Allah the Almighty commanded him, and in that there is evidence that Allah the Almighty has commanded their washing."  

أَنَّهُ قَالَ اغْسِلُوا الْقَدْمَيْنِ إِلَى الْكَعْبَيْنِ كَمَا أُمِرْتُمْ وَرُوِّينَا فِي الْحَدِيثِ الصَّحِيحِ عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ عَبَسَةَ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فِي الْوُضُوءِ ثُمَّ يَغْسِلُ قَدْمَيْهِ إِلَى الْكَعْبَيْنِ كَمَا أَمَرَهُ اللهُ تَعَالَى وَفِي ذَلِكَ دَلَالَةٌ عَلَى أَنَّ اللهَ تَعَالَى أَمَرَ بِغَسْلِهِمَا  

[Machine] "Wash your faces, your hands, and your feet. Then wash their fronts, their backs, and the skin between their toes. For indeed, this is closer to Paradise." Anas said: "Allah spoke the truth and Al-Hajjaj (a person) lied." So wipe your heads and your feet up to the ankles." He said: "He recited it by heart." So Anas bin Malik did not deny the recitation; he denied the washing before it. For indeed, we have been narrated from Anas bin Malik from the Prophet ﷺ that it is obligatory to wash."  

اغْسِلُوا وُجُوهَكُمْ وَأَيْدِيَكُمْ وَأَرْجُلَكُمْ فَاغْسِلُوا ظَاهِرَهُمَا وَبَاطِنَهُمَا وَعَرَاقِيبَهُمَا فَإِنَّ ذَلِكَ أَقْرَبُ إِلَى جَنَّتِكُمْ فَقَالَ أَنَسٌ صَدَقَ اللهُ وَكَذَبَ الْحَجَّاجُ فَامْسَحُوا بِرُءُوسِكُمْ وَأَرْجُلِكُمْ إِلَى الْكَعْبَيْنِ قَالَ قَرَأَهَا جَرًّا فَإِنْمَا أَنْكَرَ أَنَسُ بْنُ مَالِكٍ الْقِرَاءَةَ دُونَ الْغَسْلِ فَقَدْ رُوِّينَا عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ مَا دَلَّ عَلَى وُجُوبِ الْغَسْلِ  

[Machine] Regarding the ablution of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ , the hadith mentioned the description of the Prophet's ablution ﷺ . In it, she said, "Then he washed his feet." She said, "And your cousin (Ibn Abbas) came to me, meaning Ibn Abbas, so I informed him. He said, "I find in the book only two washes and two wipes. So if this is correct, it is possible that Ibn Abbas used to read it with "al-khafd" (grammar rule) and that it implies wiping. Then, when he found out that the Prophet ﷺ threatened leaving washing them or leaving something from them, he regarded it as obligatory to wash them and read it with "nasb" (grammar rule). And we have narrated from him that he read it with "nasb".  

عَنْ وُضُوءِ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَذَكَرَ الْحَدِيثَ فِي صِفَةِ وُضُوءِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ وَفِيهِ قَالَتْ ثُمَّ غَسَلَ رِجْلَيْهِ قَالَتْ وَقَدْ أَتَانِي ابْنُ عَمٍّ لَكَ تَعْنِي ابْنَ عَبَّاسٍ فَأَخْبَرْتُهُ فَقَالَ مَا أَجِدُ فِي الْكِتَابِ إِلَّا غَسْلَتَيْنِ وَمَسْحَتَيْنِ فَهَذَا إِنْ صَحَّ فَيُحْتَمَلُ أَنَّ ابْنَ عَبَّاسٍ كَانَ يَرَى الْقِرَاءَةَ بِالْخَفْضِ وَأَنَّهَا تَقْتَضِي الْمَسْحَ ثُمَّ لَمَّا بَلَغَهُ أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ تَوَعَّدَ عَلَى تَرْكِ غَسْلِهِمَا أَوْ تَرْكِ شَيْءٍ مِنْهُمَا ذَهَبَ إِلَى وُجُوبِ غَسْلِهِمَا وَقَرَأَهَا نَصْبًا وَقَدْ رُوِّينَا عَنْهُ أَنَّهُ قَرَأَهَا نَصْبًا  

[Machine] Let me tell you how the Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to perform ablution. He stated, "Then he carefully washed another room, and spread his legs over it, and the sandals were on his right and left feet, like that. Then he wiped the bottom of the two sandals."  

أَنْ أُحَدِّثَكُمْ كَيْفَ كَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ يَتَوَضَّأُ فَذَكَرَ الْحَدِيثَ قَالَ ثُمَّ اغْتَرَفَ غَرْفَةً أُخْرَى فَرَشَّ عَلَى رِجْلِهِ وَفِيهَا النَّعْلُ وَالْيُسْرَى مِثْلَ ذَلِكَ وَمَسَحَ بِأَسْفَلِ النَّعْلَيْنِ  

[Machine] He said, "The Messenger of Allah ﷺ performed ablution. He put his hand into the vessel, rinsed and gargled once, then put his hand in and poured water on his face once, and poured water on his hands twice, then wiped his head once. Then he took a handful of water and spread it over his feet, while he was wearing shoes. Thus, he did so."  

أَنَّهُ قَالَ تَوَضَّأَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ فَأَدْخَلَ يَدَهُ فِي الْإِنَاءِ فَاسْتَنْشَقَ وَمَضْمَضَ مَرَّةً وَاحِدَةً ثُمَّ أَدْخَلَ يَدَهُ فَصَبَّ عَلَى وَجْهِهِ مَرَّةً وَاحِدَةً وَصَبَّ عَلَى يَدَيْهِ مَرَّتَيْنِ مَرَّتَيْنِ وَمَسَحَ رَأْسَهُ مَرَّةً ثُمَّ أَخَذَ حَفْنَةً مِنْ مَاءٍ فَرَشَّ عَلَى قَدْمَيْهِ وَهُوَ مُتَنَعِّلٌ فَهَكَذَا  

[Machine] "He said, then he took a container of water and sprinkled it on his left foot, then he said, 'This is how I saw the Messenger of Allah ﷺ performing ablution.' Al-Bukhari narrated it in Sahih from Muhammad ibn Abdul Rahman, from Abu Salamah al-Khuza'i, and he said in the hadith, 'He took a container of water and poured it on his right foot, meaning, until he washed it. Then he took another container and washed his left foot with it, then he said, 'This is how I saw the Messenger of Allah ﷺ performing ablution."'  

أَنْ قَالَ ثُمَّ أَخَذَ غَرْفَةً مِنْ مَاءٍ ثُمَّ رَشَّ عَلَى رِجْلِهِ الْيُسْرَى ثُمَّ قَالَ هَكَذَا رَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَعْنِي يَتَوَضَّأُ وَرَوَاهُ الْبُخَارِيُّ فِي الصَّحِيحِ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحِيمِ عَنْ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ الْخُزَاعِيِّ وَقَالَ فِي الْحَدِيثِ أَخَذَ غَرْفَةً مِنْ مَاءٍ فَرَشَّ عَلَى رِجْلِهِ يَعْنِي الْيُمْنَى حَتَّى غَسَلَهَا ثُمَّ أَخَذَ غَرْفَةً أُخْرَى فَغَسَلَ بِهَا رِجْلَهُ الْيُسْرَى ثُمَّ قَالَ هَكَذَا رَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَتَوَضَّأُ  

[Machine] Then he entered a room, then he washed his right foot, then he entered another room, and he washed his left foot.  

ثُمَّ غَرَفَ غَرْفَةً ثُمَّ غَسَلَ رِجْلَهُ الْيُمْنَى ثُمَّ غَرَفَ غَرْفَةً فَغَسَلَ رِجْلَهُ الْيُسْرَى  

[Machine] said Ibn Abbas: "Shall I not show you the ablution of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ ?" He then washed his hands three times, rinsed his mouth once, sniffed water into his nostrils once, washed his face once, washed his arms up to the elbows three times, wiped his head once, and washed his feet up to the ankles three times. Then he said, "This is the ablution of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ ." We have mentioned narrations before except that of Muhammad ibn Ja'far, and it is in what has passed.  

قَالَ ابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ أَلَا أُرِيكُمْ وُضُوءَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ؟ قَالَ فَغَسَلَ يَدَيْهِ مَرَّةً مَرَّةً وَمَضْمَضَ مَرَّةً وَاسْتَنْشَقَ مَرَّةً وَغَسَلَ وَجْهَهُ مَرَّةً وَذِرَاعَيْهِ مَرَّةً مَرَّةً وَمَسَحَ بِرَأْسِهِ مَرَّةً وَغَسَلَ رِجْلَيْهِ مَرَّةً مَرَّةً ثُمَّ قَالَ هَذَا وُضُوءُ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ وَقَدْ ذَكَرْنَا الرِّوَايَاتِ فِي مَا مَضَى إِلَّا رِوَايَةَ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ جَعْفَرٍ وَهِيَ فِيمَا  

[Machine] Then he took a handful and washed his right foot, and he took another handful and washed his left foot. These narrations have agreed that he washed both of them, and the narration of Ad-Darawardi suggests that he may have washed them in his sandals. Hisham Ibn Sa'd is not a very reliable narrator, so what contradicts the authentic sources cannot be accepted from him. How can he be the one countering the consensus when they are many, and he is just one? Ath-Thawri and Hisham Ibn Sa'd have also narrated from Zaid Ibn Aslam.  

ثُمَّ أَخَذَ حَفْنَةً فَغَسَلَ بِهَا رِجْلَهُ الْيُمْنَى وَأَخَذَ حَفْنَةً فَغَسَلَ رِجْلَهُ الْيُسْرَى فَهَذِهِ الرِّوَايَاتُ اتَّفَقَتْ عَلَى أَنَّهُ غَسَلَهُمَا وَحَدِيثُ الدَّرَاوَرْدِيِّ يَحْتَمِلُ أَنْ يَكُونَ مُوَافِقًا بِأَنْ يَكُونَ غَسَلَهُمَا فِي النَّعْلِ وَهِشَامُ بْنُ سَعْدٍ لَيْسَ بِالْحَافِظِ جِدًّا فَلَا يُقْبَلُ مِنْهُ مَا يُخَالِفُ فِيهِ الثِّقَاتِ الْأَثْبَاتَ كَيْفَ وَهُمْ عَدَدٌ وَهُوَ وَاحِدٌ؟ ‍ وَقَدْ رَوَى الثَّوْرِيُّ وَهِشَامُ بْنُ سَعْدٍ عَنْ زَيْدِ بْنِ أَسْلَمَ  

[Machine] "Can I tell you how the Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to perform ablution? He called for a vessel containing water, mentioned his intention for ablution, then took a handful of water and poured it on his right foot while wearing a shoe. He then wiped his hand over the top and underneath his foot. He repeated the same actions with his left hand. This is the most authentic narration reported from the Prophet ﷺ regarding this matter according to the narration of the majority."  

أَنْ أُحَدِّثَكُمْ كَمَا كَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ يَتَوَضَّأُ؟ قَالَ فَدَعَا بِإِنَاءٍ فِيهِ مَاءٌ ثُمَّ ذَكَرَ وُضُوءَهُ وَقَالَ فِيهِ ثُمَّ قَبَضَ قَبْضَةً مِنْ مَاءٍ فَرَشَّ عَلَى رِجْلِهِ الْيُمْنَى وَفِيهَا النَّعْلُ ثُمَّ مَسَحَ بِيَدِهِ مِنْ فَوْقِ الْقَدَمِ وَمِنْ تَحْتِ الْقَدَمِ ثُمَّ فَعَلَ بِالْيُسْرَى مِثْلَ ذَلِكَ هَذَا أَصَحُّ حَدِيثٍ رُوِيَ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فِي هَذَا إِلَى مَا يُوَافِقُ رِوَايَةَ الْجَمَاعَةِ  

[Machine] Ibn Abbas said to me, "Shall I not show you the Prophet's ﷺ ablution?" So, he performed ablution once, then washed his feet while his sandals were still on. This indicates that he washed his feet with the sandals on. Allah knows best.  

قَالَ لِي ابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ أَلَا أُرِيكَ وُضُوءَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ؟ فَتَوَضَّأَ مَرَّةً ثُمَّ غَسَلَ رِجْلَيْهِ وَعَلَيْهِ نَعْلُهُ فَهَذَا يَدُلُّ عَلَى أَنَّهُ غَسَلَ رِجْلَيْهِ فِي النَّعْلَيْنِ وَاللهُ أَعْلَمُ  

[Machine] It was narrated that the Prophet ﷺ wiped over the top of his feet, and it was also narrated that he wiped their backs. One of the two had a reliable chain of narration, and even if it was reported in isolation, it would still be considered sound. The one who went against it had a weaker chain of narration. As for the other narration, it is not considered reliable by the people of knowledge in hadith. If it were reported independently, it would not be considered as valid. The Shaykh stated that the first hadith referred to the narration of Ad-Daraqutni and others from Zaid, while the other narration refers to the hadith of Abd Al-Khair from Ali regarding wiping over the top of the feet. We have already explained that he meant it if the tops of the socks were clean, and it is mentioned in the chapter on wiping over the socks, with its reasons. It has also been narrated from Ali in another context that supports the first hadith.  

أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ مَسَحَ عَلَى ظُهُورِ قَدْمَيْهِ وَرُوِيَ أَنَّهُ رَشَّ ظُهُورَهُمَا وَأَحَدُ الْحَدِيثَيْنِ مِنْ وَجْهٍ صَالِحِ الْإِسْنَادِ وَلَوْ كَانَ مُنْفَرِدًا ثَبَتَ وَالَّذِي خَالَفَهُ أَكْثَرُ وَأَثْبَتُ مِنْهُ وَأَمَّا الْحَدِيثُ الْآخَرُ فَلَيْسَ مِمَّا يُثْبِتُ أَهْلُ الْعِلْمِ بِالْحَدِيثِ لَوِ انْفَرَدَ قَالَ الشَّيْخُ إِنَّمَا عَنَى بِالْحَدِيثِ الْأَوَّلِ حَدِيثَ الدَّرَاوَرْدِيِّ وَغَيْرِهِ عَنْ زَيْدٍ وَعَنِيَ بِالْحَدِيثِ الْآخَرِ وَاللهُ أَعْلَمُ حَدِيثَ عَبْدِ خَيْرٍ عَنْ عَلِيٍّ فِي الْمَسْحِ عَلَى ظُهُورِ الْقَدْمَيْنِ وَقَدْ بَيَّنَا أَنَّهُ أَرَادَ إِنْ صَحَّ ظَهْرَ الْخُفَّيْنِ وَهُوَ مَذْكُورٌ فِي بَابِ الْمَسْحِ عَلَى الْخُفِّ بِعِلَلِهِ وَقَدْ رُوِيَ عَنْ عَلِيٍّ مِنْ وَجْهٍ آخَرَ فِي مَعْنَى الْحَدِيثِ الْأَوَّلِ  

ʿAli entered upon me in In house and called for water for wudoo’. I brought him a wooden vessel that held a mudd or thereabouts and put it in front of him. He had urinated and he said: O Ibn ‘Abbas, shall I not do wudoo’ for you as the Messenger of Allah ﷺ did wudoo’? I said: Yes, may my father and mother be sacrificed for you. He said: A vessel was placed before him and he washed his hands, then he rinsed his mouth, and took water into his nose and blew it out. Then he took water in his hands and splashed it onto his face, putting his thumbs at the top of his ears. He did that three times. Then he took a handful of water in his right hand and poured it over his forehead, then he let it drip on his face. Then he washed his right hand up to the elbow three times, then his other hand likewise. Then he wiped his head and the backs of his ears. Then he scooped up water with two hands and poured it onto his feet, with sandals on his feet, then he turned his foot over (to wash it). then he did the same with the other foot, I said: With his sandals on? He said: With his sandals on. I said: With his sandals on? He said: With his sandals on. I said: With his sandals on? He said: With his sandals on. (Using translation from Aḥmad 625)   

دَخَلَ عَلِيٌّ عَلَيَّ بَيْتِي فَدَعَا بِوَضُوءٍ فَجِئْنَا بِقَعْبٍ يَأْخُذُ الْمُدَّ أَوْ قَرَيْبَهُ حَتَّى وُضِعَ بَيْنَ يَدَيْهِ وَقَدْ بَالَ فَقَالَ يَا ابْنَ عَبَّاسٍ أَلَا أَتَوَضَّأُ لَكَ وُضُوءَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ؟ قُلْتُ بَلَى فِدَاكَ أَبِي وَأُمِّي قَالَ فَوُضِعَ لَهُ إِنَاءٌ فَغَسَلَ يَدَيْهِ ثُمَّ مَضْمَضَ وَاسْتَنْشَقَ وَاسْتَنْثَرَ ثُمَّ أَخَذَ بِيَدَيْهِ حَفْنَةً مِنْ مَاءٍ جَمِيعًا فَصَكَّ بِهِمَا وَجْهَهُ وَأَلْقَمَ إِبْهَامَيْهِ مَا أَقْبَلَ مِنْ أُذُنَيْهِ قَالَ ثُمَّ عَادَ بِمِثْلِ ذَلِكَ ثَلَاثًا ثُمَّ أَخَذَ كَفًّا مِنْ مَاءٍ بِيَدِهِ الْيُمْنَى فَأَفْرَغَهَا عَلَى نَاصِيَتِهِ ثُمَّ أَرْسَلَهَا تَسِيلُ عَلَى وَجْهِهِ ثُمَّ غَسَلَ يَدَهُ الْيُمْنَى إِلَى الْمِرْفَقِ ثَلَاثًا ثُمَّ يَدَهُ الْأُخْرَى مِثْلَ ذَلِكَ ثُمَّ مَسَحَ رَأْسَهُ وَأُذُنَيْهِ مِنْ ظُهُورِهِمَا ثُمَّ أَخَذَ بِكَفَّيْهِ مِنَ الْمَاءِ فَصَكَّ بِهِمَا عَلَى قَدَمِهِ وَفِيهَا النَّعْلُ فَبَلَّهَا بِهِ ثُمَّ عَلَى الرِّجْلِ الْأُخْرَى مِثْلَ ذَلِكَ قَالَ قُلْتُ وَفِي النَّعْلَيْنِ؟ قَالَ وَفِي النَّعْلَيْنِ قُلْتُ وَفِي النَّعْلَيْنِ؟ قَالَ وَفِي النَّعْلَيْنِ قُلْتُ وَفِي النَّعْلَيْنِ؟ قَالَ وَفِي النَّعْلَيْنِ وَقَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى التِّرْمِذِيُّ سَأَلْتُ مُحَمَّدَ بْنَ إِسْمَاعِيلَ الْبُخَارِيَّ عَنْ هَذَا الْحَدِيثِ فَقَالَ لَا أَدْرِي مَا هَذَا الْحَدِيثُ فَكَأَنَّهُ رَأَى الْحَدِيثَ الْأَوَّلَ أَصَحَّ يَعْنِي حَدِيثَ عَطَاءِ بْنِ يَسَارٍ قَالَ الشَّيْخُ إِنْ صَحَّ أَنْ يَكُونَ غَسَلَهُمَا فِي النَّعْلَيْنِ فَقَدْ رُوِّينَا مِنْ أَوْجُهٍ كَثِيرَةٍ عَنْ أَمِيرِ الْمُؤْمِنْينَ عَلِيِّ بْنِ أَبِي طَالِبٍ ؓ أَنَّهُ غَسَلَ رِجْلَيْهِ فِي الْوُضُوءِ  

[Machine] "He called for ablution and a vessel containing water was brought to him. He mentioned the speech until he said, 'Then he poured with his right hand thrice upon his right foot, then washed it with his left hand. Then he poured with his right hand upon his left foot thrice, then washed it with his left hand.' Then he said, 'This is the purification of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ .'"  

أَنَّهُ دَعَا بِوَضُوءٍ فَأُتِيَ بِإِنَاءٍ فِيهِ مَاءٌ فَذَكَرَ الْحَدِيثَ إِلَى أَنْ قَالَ ثُمَّ صَبَّ بِيَدِهِ الْيُمْنَى ثَلَاثَ مَرَّاتٍ عَلَى قَدَمِهِ الْيُمْنَى ثُمَّ غَسَلَهَا بِيَدِهِ الْيُسْرَى ثُمَّ صَبَّ بِيَدِهِ الْيُمْنَى عَلَى قَدَمِهِ الْيُسْرَى ثَلَاثَ مَرَّاتٍ ثُمَّ غَسَلَهَا بِيَدِهِ الْيُسْرَى ثُمَّ قَالَ هَذَا طُهُورُ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ  

[Machine] About the ablution of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, he poured water into the container and then said, "Where is the one asking about the ablution of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ?" So he washed his hands three times, his face three times, his arms three times, and wiped his head until he felt the wetness. He washed his feet three times, three times. Then he said, "This is how the Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to perform ablution." The narration of the jurist does not include his statement, "until he felt the wetness," but the rest of the narration is the same.  

عَنْ وُضُوءِ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَأَرَاقَ الْمَاءَ فِي الرَّحَبَةِ ثُمَّ قَالَ أَيْنَ السَّائِلُ عَنْ وُضُوءِ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ؟ فَغَسَلَ يَدَيْهِ ثَلَاثًا وَوَجْهَهُ ثَلَاثًا وَذِرَاعَيْهِ ثَلَاثًا وَمَسَحَ بِرَأْسِهِ حَتَّى أَلَمَّ أَنْ يَقْطُرَ وَغَسَلَ رِجْلَيْهِ ثَلَاثًا ثَلَاثًا ثُمَّ قَالَ هَكَذَا كَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ يَتَوَضَّأُ لَيْسَ فِي رِوَايَةِ الْفَقِيهِ قَوْلُهُ حَتَّى أَلَمَّ أَنْ يَقْطُرَ وَالْبَاقِي سَوَاءٌ  

I saw ‘Ali ؓ doing wudooʿ. He washed his hands until they were clean, then he rinsed his mouth three times, then he rinsed his nose three times; he washed his face three times and his forearms three times; he wiped his head and washed his feet up to the ankles. And he took the leftover water and drank it whilst standing. Then he said: I wanted to show you how the Messenger of Allah ﷺ did wudooʿ ‘Abd Khair narrated a hadeeth like that of Abu Hayyah from ʿAli, except that ’Abd Khair said: When he finished his wudoo’, he took some of the leftover water in his hand and drank it. (Using translation from Aḥmad 1046)   

رَأَيْتُ عَلِيًّا تَوَضَّأَ فَغَسَلَ كَفَّيْهِ حَتَّى أَنْقَاهُمَا ثُمَّ مَضْمَضَ ثَلَاثًا وَاسْتَنْشَقَ ثَلَاثًا وَغَسَلَ وَجْهَهُ ثَلَاثًا وَذِرَاعَيْهِ ثَلَاثًا وَمَسَحَ بِرَأْسِهِ وَغَسَلَ قَدْمَيْهِ إِلَى الْكَعْبَيْنِ ثُمَّ قَامَ فَأَخَذَ فَضْلَ وَضُوئِهِ فَشَرِبَهُ وَهُوَ قَائِمٌ ثُمَّ قَالَ إِنِّي أَحْبَبْتُ أَنْ أُرِيَكُمْ كَيْفَ كَانَ طُهُورُ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ هَكَذَا  

[Machine] He prayed the afternoon prayer, then sat in the needs of the people in the spaciousness of Kufa until the afternoon prayer arrived. Then a cup of water was brought to him, so he took a handful and wiped his face, hands, head, and feet with it. Then he stood up and drank the rest while he was standing. Then he said: "Indeed, some people dislike drinking while standing, and indeed the Messenger of Allah ﷺ did as I have done, and he said: 'This is the Wudu' for the one who has not performed Wudu'."  

أَنَّهُ صَلَّى الظُّهْرَ ثُمَّ قَعَدَ فِي حَوَائِجِ النَّاسِ فِي رَحَبَةِ الْكُوفَةِ حَتَّى حَضَرَتْ صَلَاةُ الْعَصْرِ ثُمَّ أُتِيَ بِكُوزٍ مِنْ مَاءٍ فَأَخَذَ مِنْهُ حَفْنَةً وَاحِدَةً فَمَسَحَ بِهَا وَجْهَهُ وَيَدَيْهِ وَرَأْسَهُ وَرِجْلَيْهِ ثُمَّ قَامَ فَشَرِبَ فَضْلَهُ وَهُوَ قَائِمٌ ثُمَّ قَالَ إِنَّ أُنَاسًا يَكْرَهُونَ الشُّرْبَ قَائِمًا وَإِنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ صَنَعَ كَمَا صَنَعْتُ وَقَالَ هَذَا وُضُوءُ مَنْ لَمْ يُحْدِثْ  

[Machine] "So he took, drank, while standing, then performed a light ablution, wiped over his sandals, then said, 'This is how the Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to do, as long as it was not new or different in meaning.'"  

فَأَخَذَ وَشَرِبَ وَهُوَ قَائِمٌ ثُمَّ تَوَضَّأَ وُضُوءًا خَفِيفًا وَمَسَحَ عَلَى نَعْلَيْهِ ثُمَّ قَالَ هَكَذَا فَعَلَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ مَا لَمْ يُحْدِثْ وَبِمَعْنَاهُ  

[Machine] He called for a cup of water, then performed a light ablution (wudu). Then, he wiped over his sandals and said, "This is how the Prophet ﷺ used to perform ablution for the one who is in a state of purity, as long as he did not nullify it." This indicates that what has been narrated about Ali wiping over his sandals is only in a voluntary ablution, not in an obligatory ablution due to a state that requires it or if he intended to wash his feet in the sandals or if he intended to wipe over his socks and sandals, as well.  

أَنَّهُ دَعَا بِكُوزٍ مِنْ مَاءٍ ثُمَّ تَوَضَّأَ وُضُوءًا خَفِيفًا ثُمَّ مَسَحَ عَلَى نَعْلَيْهِ ثُمَّ قَالَ هَكَذَا وُضُوءُ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ لِلطَّاهِرِ مَا لَمْ يُحْدِثْ وَفِي هَذَا دَلَالَةٌ عَلَى أَنَّ مَا رُوِيَ عَنْ عَلِيٍّ فِي الْمَسْحِ عَلَى النَّعْلَيْنِ إِنَّمَا هُوَ فِي وُضُوءٍ مُتَطَوَّعٍ بِهِ لَا فِي وُضُوءٍ وَاجِبٍ عَلَيْهِ مِنْ حَدَثٍ يُوجِبُ الْوُضُوءَ أَوْ أَرَادَ غَسْلَ الرِّجْلَيْنِ فِي النَّعْلَيْنِ أَوْ أَرَادَ الْمَسْحَ عَلَى جَوْرَبَيْهِ وَنَعْلَيْهِ كَمَا  

the Messenger of Allah ﷺ paid attention to the people and said three times; straighten your rows (in prayer); by Allah, you must straighten your rows, or Allah will certainly put your faces in contrary directions. I then saw that every person stood in prayer keeping his shoulder close to that of the other, and his knee close to that of the other, and his ankle close to that of the other. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 662)   

سَمِعْتُ النُّعْمَانَ بْنِ بَشِيرٍ يَقُولُ أَقْبَلَ عَلَيْنَا رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ بِوَجْهِهِ فَقَالَ أَقِيمُوا صُفُوفَكُمْ ثَلَاثًا وَاللهِ لَتُقِيمُنَّ صُفُوفَكُمْ أَوْ لَيُخَالِفَنَّ اللهُ بَيْنَ قُلُوبِكُمْ قَالَ فَرَأَيْتُ الرَّجُلَ يُلْزِقُ كَعْبَهُ بِكَعْبِ صَاحِبِهِ وَرُكْبَتَهُ بِرُكْبَةِ صَاحِبِهِ وَمَنْكِبَهُ بِمَنْكِبِهِ  

[Machine] I saw the Messenger of Allah ﷺ passing by the market of Thul-Majaz, while I was selling something of mine. He passed by wearing a red garment and I heard him saying, "O people, say there is no god but Allah, you will be successful." A man followed him and threw stones at him, causing his feet to bleed. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ mentioned this incident.  

رَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ مَرَّ بِسُوقِ ذِي الْمَجَازِ وَأَنَا فِي بِيَاعَةٍ لِي فَمَرَّ وَعَلَيْهِ حُلَّةٌ حَمْرَاءُ فَسَمِعْتُهُ يَقُولُ يَا أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ قُولُوا لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللهُ تُفْلِحُوا وَرَجُلٌ يَتْبَعُهُ يَرْمِيهِ بِالْحِجَارَةِ قَدْ أَدْمَى كَعْبَيْهِ يَعْنِي أَبَا لَهَبٍ وَذَكَرَ الْحَدِيثَ  

[Machine] I came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ as a newcomer from the Bani Al-Muntafiq tribe, and I said, "O Messenger of Allah, tell me about ablution." He said, "Perform the ablution thoroughly, separate between the fingers, and thoroughly inhale water during rinsing the nose unless you are fasting and the time for the forenoon prayer has passed. In a hadith narrated by Shu'ayb ibn Salamah, it is mentioned about the description of the Prophet's ﷺ ablution that he also separated between his toes."  

كُنْتُ وَافِدَ بَنِي الْمُنْتَفِقِ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَقُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ أَخْبِرْنِي عَنِ الْوُضُوءِ؟ فَقَالَ أَسْبِغِ الْوُضُوءَ وَخَلِّلْ بَيْنَ الْأَصَابِعِ وَبَالِغْ فِي الِاسْتِنْشَاقِ إِلَّا أَنْ تَكُونَ صَائِمًا وَقَدْ مَضَى فِي حَدِيثِ شَقِيقِ بْنِ سَلَمَةَ عَنْ عُثْمَانَ فِي صِفَةِ وُضُوءِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ أَنَّهُ خَلَّلَ أَصَابِعَ قَدْمَيْهِ  

[Machine] I heard my father, Abd al-Rahman al-Hubuli, say: I saw the Messenger of Allah ﷺ massaging between his toes with his pinky finger.  

سَمِعْتُ أَبِي عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ الْحُبُلِيَّ يَقُولُ رَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يُدَلِّكُ بِخِنْصَرِهِ مَا بَيْنَ أَصَابِعِ رِجْلَيْهِ  

[Machine] I left him until the people calmed down, and then I said to him, "O Abu Abdullah, I heard you giving a fatwa regarding removing the calluses from the fingers of the feet, claiming that it is not necessary for people, but it is a sunnah for us." He asked, "What is the evidence for that?" I said, "Al-Layth ibn Sa'd, Ibn Lahi'ah, and 'Amr ibn al-Harith narrated from Yazid ibn 'Amr al-Ma'afiri, who narrated from Abu 'Abd al-Rahman al-Hubuli, who narrated from al-Mustawrid ibn Shaddad al-Qurashi, who said, 'I saw the Messenger of Allah ﷺ massaging the space between his toes with his little finger. He said, 'This is a good hadith, and I have never heard of it before except at this hour.' Then, I heard him being asked about this later, and he ordered the removal of the calluses. My paternal uncle said, 'I have never seen anyone perform ablution without the line under the thumb on the foot surrounding them. For people touch their thumbs during ablution, and whoever overlooks that is safe.'"  

فَتَرَكْتُهُ حَتَّى خَفَّ النَّاسُ فَقُلْتُ لَهُ يَا أَبَا عَبْدَ اللهِ سَمِعْتُكَ تُفْتِي فِي مَسْأَلَةِ تَخْلِيلِ أَصَابِعِ الرِّجْلَيْنِ زَعَمْتَ أَنْ لَيْسَ ذَلِكَ عَلَى النَّاسِ وَعِنْدَنَا فِي ذَلِكَ سُنَّةٌ فَقَالَ وَمَا هِيَ؟ فَقُلْتُ ثنا اللَّيْثُ بْنُ سَعْدٍ وَابْنُ لَهِيعَةَ وَعَمْرُو بْنُ الْحَارِثِ عَنْ يَزِيدَ بْنِ عَمْرٍو الْمَعَافِرِيِّ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ الْحُبُلِيِّ عَنِ الْمُسْتَوْرِدِ بْنِ شَدَّادٍ الْقُرَشِيِّ قَالَ رَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يُدَلِّكُ بِخِنْصَرِهِ مَا بَيْنَ أَصَابِعِ رِجْلَيْهِ فَقَالَ إِنَّ هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ وَمَا سَمِعْتُ بِهِ قَطُّ إِلَّا السَّاعَةَ ثُمَّ سَمِعْتُهُ يُسْأَلُ بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ فَأَمَرَ بِتَخْلِيلِ الْأَصَابِعِ قَالَ عَمِّي مَا أَقَلَّ مَنْ يَتَوَضَّأُ إِلَّا وَيُحِيطُهُ الْخَطُّ الَّذِي تَحْتَ الْإِبْهَامِ فِي الرِّجْلِ فَإِنَّ النَّاسَ يُثْنُونَ إِبْهَامَهُمْ عِنْدَ الْوُضُوءِ وَمَنْ تَفَقَّدَ ذَلِكَ سَلِمَ  

I saw Abu Huraira perform ablution. He washed his face and washed it well. He then washed his right hand including a portion of his arm. He then washed his left hand including a portion of his arm. He then wiped his head. He then washed his right foot including his shank, and then washed his left foot including shank, and then said: This is how I saw Messenger of Allah ﷺ perform his ablution. And (Abu Huraira) added that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ had observed: You shall have your faces hands and feet bright on the Day of Resurrection because of your perfect ablution. He who can afford among you, let him increase the brightness of his forehead and that of hands and legs. (Using translation from Muslim 246a)   

رَأَيْتُ أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ تَوَضَّأَ فَغَسَلَ وَجْهَهُ فَأَسْبَغَ الْوُضُوءَ ثُمَّ غَسَلَ يَدَهُ الْيُمْنَى حَتَّى أَشْرَعَ فِي الْعَضُدِ ثُمَّ يَدَهُ الْيُسْرَى حَتَّى أَشْرَعَ فِي الْعَضُدِ ثُمَّ مَسَحَ بِرَأْسِهِ ثُمَّ غَسَلَ رِجْلَهُ الْيُمْنَى حَتَّى أَشْرَعَ فِي السَّاقِ ثُمَّ غَسَلَ رِجْلَهُ الْيُسْرَى حَتَّى أَشْرَعَ فِي السَّاقِ ثُمَّ قَالَ هَكَذَا رَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَتَوَضَّأُ  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "You are the radiant ones with shining foreheads on the Day of Resurrection from the traces of ablution. So whoever among you can increase his radiance and bring fragrance to it, let him do so."  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ أَنْتُمُ الْغُرُّ الْمُحَجَّلُونَ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ مِنْ إِسْبَاغِ الْوُضُوءِ فَمَنِ اسْتَطَاعَ مِنْكُمْ فَلْيُطِلْ غُرَّتَهُ وَتَحْجِيلَهُ  

[Machine] "Abu Ubaydah's words are: 'Make him feel compelled, insult and dismiss him from you.'"  

أَبُو عُبَيْدَةَ قَوْلُهَا أَرْغِمِيهِ تَقُولُ أَهِينِيهِ وَارْمِي بِهِ عَنْكِ  

[Machine] That women apply kohl (eyeliner) and then wipe one of their hands on their garment when they perform ablution for prayer, because I prefer to cut off my hand with scissors than to do that.  

أَنَّ نِسَاءً يَخْتَضِبْنَ ثُمَّ تَمْسَحُ إِحْدَاهُنَّ عَلَى خِضَابِهَا إِذَا تَوَضَّأَتْ لِلصَّلَاةِ لَأَنْ تُقْطَعَ يَدِيَّ بِالسَّكَاكِينِ أَحَبُّ إِلِيَّ مِنْ أَنْ أَفْعَلَ ذَلِكَ  

[Machine] They performed ablution and prayed, then they rode the animal. When it was time for the Dhuhr prayer, they removed it with the best dye. They did not neglect their ablution, as the wives of the Prophet ﷺ used to apply perfume after the last night prayer.  

فَتَوَضَّأْنَ وَصَلَّيْنَ ثُمَّ رَكِبْنَهُ فَإِذَا كَانَ صَلَاةُ الظُّهْرِ نَزَعْنَهُ بِأَحْسَنِ خِضَابٍ فَلَا يُشْغَلْنَ عَنْ وُضُوءٍ فَإِنَّ أَزْوَاجَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ كُنَّ يَخْتَضِبْنَ بَعْدَ صَلَاةِ الْعِشَاءِ الْآخِرَةِ  

[Machine] As for our women, they perform ablution from the evening prayer to the morning prayer, then they cleanse their hands and purify themselves. Then, they perform ablution again from the morning prayer to the noon prayer with the best attire, and that does not prevent them from praying.  

أَمَّا نِسَاؤُنَا فَيَخْتَضِبْنَ مِنْ صَلَاةِ الْعِشَاءِ إِلَى صَلَاةِ الصُّبْحِ ثُمَّ يُنَظِّفَنَّ أَيْدِيَهُنَّ فَيَتَطَهَّرْنَ ثُمَّ يَعُدْنَ عَلَيْهِ مِنْ صَلَاةِ الصُّبْحِ إِلَى صَلَاةِ الظُّهْرِ بِأَحْسَنِ خِضَابٍ وَلَا يَمْنَعُهُنَّ ذَلِكَ مِنَ الصَّلَاةِ  

We were entrusted with the task of tending the camels. On my turn when I came back in the evening after grazing them in the pastures, I found Messenger of Allah ﷺ stand and address the people. I heard these words of his: If any Muslim performs ablution well, then stands and prays two rak'ahs setting about them with his heart as well as his face, Paradise would be guaranteed to him. I said: What a fine thing is this! And a narrator who was before me said: The first was better than even this. When I cast a glance, I saw that it was 'Umar who said: I see that you have just come and observed: If anyone amongst you performs the ablution, and then completes the ablution well and then says: I testify that there is no god but Allah and that Muhammad is the servant of Allah and His Messenger, the eight gates of Paradise would be opened for him and he may enter by whichever of them he wishes. (Using translation from Muslim 234a)   

كَانَتْ عَلَيْنَا رِعَايَةُ الْإِبِلِ فَحَانَتْ نَوْبَتِي فَرَوَّحْتُهَا بِعَشِيٍّ فَأَدْرَكْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَائِمًا يُحَدِّثُ النَّاسَ فَأَدْرَكْتُ مِنْ قَوْلِهِ مَا مِنْ مُسْلِمٍ يَتَوَضَّأُ فَيُحْسِنُ الْوُضُوءَ ثُمَّ يَقُومُ فَيُصَلِّي رَكْعَتَيْنِ فَيُقْبِلُ عَلَيْهِمَا بِقَلْبِهِ وَوَجْهِهِ إِلَّا وَجَبَ لَهُ الْجَنَّةُ قَالَ فَقُلْتُ مَا أَجْوَدَ هَذِهِ فَإِذَا قَائِلٌ بَيْنَ يَدِيَّ يَقُولُ الَّتِي قَبْلَهَا أَجْوَدُ فَنَظَرْتُ فَإِذَا عُمَرُ بْنُ الْخَطَّابِ ؓ قَالَ إِنِّي قَدْ رَأَيْتُكَ جِئْتَ آنِفًا قَالَ مَا مِنْكُمْ مِنْ أَحَدٍ يَتَوَضَّأُ ثُمَّ يَقُولُ أَشْهَدُ أَنْ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللهُ وَأَشْهَدُ أَنْ مُحَمَّدًا عَبْدُهُ وَرَسُولُهُ إِلَّا فُتِحَتْ لَهُ أَبْوَابُ الْجَنَّةِ الثَّمَانِيَةَ يَدْخُلُ مِنْ أَيِّهَا شَاءَ لَفْظُ حَدِيثِ ابْنِ مَهْدِيٍّ  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Whoever performs ablution and perfects their wudu, then says, 'I bear witness that there is no deity worthy of worship except Allah, alone with no partner, and that Muhammad is His servant and Messenger,' the eight gates of Paradise will be opened for them, and they may enter through whichever gate they choose." Abu Abdullah informed us, Abu Bakr ibn Abdullah informed me, Hasan ibn Sufyan informed me, Abu Bakr ibn Abi Shaybah informed me, Zaid ibn Al-Hubab mentioned it with his chain of narration, and Abu Uthman mentioned it from Jubayr ibn Nufair ibn Malik Al-Hadrami from Uqbah ibn Amir.  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ مَنْ تَوَضَّأَ فَأَحْسَنَ الْوُضُوءَ ثُمَّ قَالَ أَشْهَدُ أَنْ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللهُ وَحْدَهُ لَا شَرِيكَ لَهُ وَأَنَّ مُحَمَّدًا عَبْدُهُ وَرَسُولُهُ فُتِحَتْ لَهُ ثَمَانِيَةُ أَبْوَابِ الْجَنَّةِ يَدْخُلُ مِنْ أَيِّهَا شَاءَ 370 وَأَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو عَبْدِ اللهِ أَخْبَرَنِي أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللهِ أنا الْحَسَنُ بْنُ سُفْيَانَ أنا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ نا زَيْدُ بْنُ الْحُبَابِ فَذَكَرَهُ بِإِسْنَادِهِ وَقَالَ وَأَبُو عُثْمَانَ عَنْ جُبَيْرِ بْنِ نُفَيْرِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ الْحَضْرَمِيِّ عَنْ عُقْبَةَ بْنِ عَامِرٍ  

[Machine] Shall I show you the ablution of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ ? He then performed ablution three times. Sufyan said that Abu Nadrah narrated from Abu Anas, who was with some companions of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ , and he asked them, "Didn't you see the Messenger of Allah ﷺ perform ablution like this?" They replied, "Yes, indeed, just like this."  

أَلَا أُرِيكُمْ وُضُوءَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ؟ قَالَ ثُمَّ تَوَضَّأَ ثَلَاثًا ثَلَاثًا قَالَ سُفْيَانُ قَالَ أَبُو النَّضْرِ عَنْ أَبِي أَنَسٍ وَعِنْدَهُ رِجَالٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ لَهُمْ أَلَيْسَ هَكَذَا رَأَيْتُمْ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَتَوَضَّأُ؟ قَالُوا بَلَى هَكَذَا  

[Machine] "He called for water and performed ablution by the seats. He performed ablution three times, then he said to the companions of the Prophet ﷺ, 'Did you see the Messenger of Allah ﷺ do this?' They said, 'Yes.' In the narration of al-Firiyabi, it is mentioned that Uthman performed ablution three times, then he said to the companions of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, 'Did you see the Messenger of Allah ﷺ in this manner?' They said, 'Yes.' And in the narration of Abu Hudhaifa, he called for ablution by the seats, and this is how it is mentioned in the narrations of al-Thawri, narrated by Abdullah bin al-Walid al-Adani."  

أَنَّهُ دَعَا بِمَاءٍ فَتَوَضَّأَ عِنْدَ الْمَقَاعِدِ فَتَوَضَّأَ ثَلَاثًا ثَلَاثًا ثُمَّ قَالَ لِأَصْحَابِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ هَلْ رَأَيْتُمْ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ فَعَلَ هَذَا؟ قَالُوا نَعَمْ لَفْظُ حَدِيثِ الْحُسَيْنِ وَفِي حَدِيثِ الْفِرْيَابِيِّ أَنَّ عُثْمَانَ تَوَضَّأَ ثَلَاثًا ثَلَاثًا ثُمَّ قَالَ لِأَصْحَابِ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ هَكَذَا رَأَيْتُمْ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ؟ قَالُوا نَعَمْ وَفِي حَدِيثِ أَبِي حُذَيْفَةَ دَعَا بِوَضُوءٍ عَلَى الْمَقَاعِدِ وَهَكَذَا هُوَ فِي جَامِعِ الثَّوْرِيِّ رِوَايَةَ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ الْوَلِيدِ الْعَدَنِيِّ
