[Machine] That the Prophet ﷺ said, "There is no ablution except with water or smell," and using this hadith as evidence in this issue is not valid, nor is it valid with the hadith of Abu Sa'eed.  

البيهقي:١٠٥٢وَأَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو الْحَسَنِ الْمُقْرِئُ ثنا الْحَسَنُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ إِسْحَاقَ ثنا يُوسُفُ بْنُ يَعْقُوبَ ثنا عَمْرُو بْنُ مَرْزُوقٍ ثنا شُعْبَةُ عَنْ سَهْلِ بْنِ أَبِي صَالِحٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ

أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ قَالَ لَا وُضُوءَ إِلَّا مِنْ صَوْتٍ أَوْ رِيحٍ وَالِاسْتِدَلَالُ بِهَذَا الْحَدِيثِ فِي هَذِهِ الْمَسْأَلَةِ لَا يَصِحُّ وَلَا بِحَدِيثِ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ
