5. Ghusl (Major Ablution/Bathing)
٥۔ كتاب الغسل
The statement of Allah Most High "O you who have believed, when you rise to [perform] prayer, wash your faces and your forearms to the elbows and wipe over your heads and wash your feet to the ankles. And if you are in a state of janabah, then purify yourselves. But if you are ill or on a journey or one of you comes from the place of relieving himself or you have contacted women and do not find water, then seek clean earth and wipe over your faces and hands with it. Allah does not intend to make difficulty for you, but He intends to purify you and complete His favor upon you that you may be grateful." And His statement: "O you who have believed, do not approach prayer while you are intoxicated until you know what you are saying or in a state of janabah, except those passing through [a place of prayer], until you have washed [your whole body]. And if you are ill or on a journey or one of you comes from the place of relieving himself or you have contacted women and find no water, then seek clean earth and wipe over your faces and your hands [with it]. Indeed, Allah is ever Pardoning and Forgiving."
وَقَوْلِ اللَّهِ تَعَالَى {وَإِنْ كُنْتُمْ جُنُبًا فَاطَّهَّرُوا وَإِنْ كُنْتُمْ مَرْضَى أَوْ عَلَى سَفَرٍ أَوْ جَاءَ أَحَدٌ مِنْكُمْ مِنَ الْغَائِطِ أَوْ لاَمَسْتُمُ النِّسَاءَ فَلَمْ تَجِدُوا مَاءً فَتَيَمَّمُوا صَعِيدًا طَيِّبًا فَامْسَحُوا بِوُجُوهِكُمْ وَأَيْدِيكُمْ مِنْهُ مَا يُرِيدُ اللَّهُ لِيَجْعَلَ عَلَيْكُمْ مِنْ حَرَجٍ وَلَكِنْ يُرِيدُ لِيُطَهِّرَكُمْ وَلِيُتِمَّ نِعْمَتَهُ عَلَيْكُمْ لَعَلَّكُمْ تَشْكُرُونَ} وَقَوْلِهِ جَلَّ ذِكْرُهُ {يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا لاَ تَقْرَبُوا الصَّلاَةَ وَأَنْتُمْ سُكَارَى حَتَّى تَعْلَمُوا مَا تَقُولُونَ وَلاَ جُنُبًا إِلاَّ عَابِرِي سَبِيلٍ حَتَّى تَغْتَسِلُوا وَإِنْ كُنْتُمْ مَرْضَى أَوْ عَلَى سَفَرٍ أَوْ جَاءَ أَحَدٌ مِنْكُمْ مِنَ الْغَائِطِ أَوْ لاَمَسْتُمُ النِّسَاءَ فَلَمْ تَجِدُوا مَاءً فَتَيَمَّمُوا صَعِيدًا طَيِّبًا فَامْسَحُوا بِوُجُوهِكُمْ وَأَيْدِيكُمْ إِنَّ اللَّهَ كَانَ عَفُوًّا غَفُورًا}.
Whenever the Prophet ﷺ took a bath after Janaba he started by washing his hands and then performed ablution like that for the prayer. After that he would put his fingers in water and move the roots of his hair with them, and then pour three handfuls of water over his head and then pour water all over his body.
عَنْ عَائِشَةَ زَوْجِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ كَانَ إِذَا اغْتَسَلَ مِنَ الْجَنَابَةِ بَدَأَ فَغَسَلَ يَدَيْهِ ثُمَّ يَتَوَضَّأُ كَمَا يَتَوَضَّأُ لِلصَّلاَةِ ثُمَّ يُدْخِلُ أَصَابِعَهُ فِي الْمَاءِ فَيُخَلِّلُ بِهَا أُصُولَ شَعَرِهِ ثُمَّ يَصُبُّ عَلَى رَأْسِهِ ثَلاَثَ غُرَفٍ بِيَدَيْهِ ثُمَّ يُفِيضُ الْمَاءَ عَلَى جِلْدِهِ كُلِّهِ
(the wife of the Prophet) Messenger of Allah ﷺ performed ablution like that for the prayer but did not wash his feet. He washed off the discharge from his private parts and then poured water over his body. He withdrew his feet from that place (the place where he took the bath) and then washed them. And that was his way of taking the bath of Janaba.
عَنْ مَيْمُونَةَ زَوْجِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَتْ تَوَضَّأَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ وُضُوءَهُ لِلصَّلاَةِ غَيْرَ رِجْلَيْهِ وَغَسَلَ فَرْجَهُ وَمَا أَصَابَهُ مِنَ الأَذَى ثُمَّ أَفَاضَ عَلَيْهِ الْمَاءَ ثُمَّ نَحَّى رِجْلَيْهِ فَغَسَلَهُمَا هَذِهِ غُسْلُهُ مِنَ الْجَنَابَةِ
5.2 Taking a bath by a man along with his wife
٥۔٢ باب غُسْلِ الرَّجُلِ مَعَ امْرَأَتِهِ
The Prophet ﷺ and I used to take a bath from a single pot called 'Faraq'.
كُنْتُ أَغْتَسِلُ أَنَا وَالنَّبِيُّ ﷺ مِنْ إِنَاءٍ وَاحِدٍ مِنْ قَدَحٍ يُقَالُ لَهُ الْفَرَقُ
5.3 Taking a bath with a Sa' of water or so (One Sa' = 3 kilograms approx.)
٥۔٣ باب الْغُسْلِ بِالصَّاعِ وَنَحْوِهِ
ʿAisha's brother and I went to ʿAisha and he asked her about the bath of the Prophet. She brought a pot containing about a Saʿ of water and took a bath and poured it over her head and at that time there was a screen between her and us.
سَمِعْتُ أَبَا سَلَمَةَ يَقُولُ دَخَلْتُ أَنَا وَأَخُو عَائِشَةَ عَلَى عَائِشَةَ فَسَأَلَهَا أَخُوهَا عَنْ غُسْلِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَدَعَتْ بِإِنَاءٍ نَحْوًا مِنْ صَاعٍ فَاغْتَسَلَتْ وَأَفَاضَتْ عَلَى رَأْسِهَا وَبَيْنَنَا وَبَيْنَهَا حِجَابٌ قَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ قَالَ يَزِيدُ بْنُ هَارُونَ وَبَهْزٌ وَالْجُدِّيُّ عَنْ شُعْبَةَ قَدْرِ صَاعٍ
While I and my father were with Jabir bin ʿAbdullah, some people asked him about taking a bath. He replied, "A Saʿ of water is sufficient for you." A man said, "A Saʿ is not sufficient for me." Jabir said, "A Saʿ was sufficient for one who had more hair than you and was better than you (meaning the Prophet)." And then Jabir (put on) his garment and led the prayer.
جَابِرٌ كَانَ يَكْفِي مَنْ هُوَ أَوْفَى مِنْكَ شَعَرًا وَخَيْرٌ مِنْكَ ثُمَّ أَمَّنَا فِي ثَوْبٍ
The Prophet ﷺ and Maimuna used to take a bath from a single pot.
أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ وَمَيْمُونَةَ كَانَا يَغْتَسِلاَنِ مِنْ إِنَاءٍ وَاحِدٍ قَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ كَانَ ابْنُ عُيَيْنَةَ يَقُولُ أَخِيرًا عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ عَنْ مَيْمُونَةَ وَالصَّحِيحُ مَا رَوَى أَبُو نُعَيْمٍ
5.4 Pouring water thrice on one's head
٥۔٤ باب مَنْ أَفَاضَ عَلَى رَأْسِهِ ثَلاَثًا
Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "As for me, I pour water three times on my head." And he pointed with both his hands.
قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ أَمَّا أَنَا فَأُفِيضُ عَلَى رَأْسِي ثَلاَثًا وَأَشَارَ بِيَدَيْهِ كِلْتَيْهِمَا
كَانَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ يُفْرِغُ عَلَى رَأْسِهِ ثَلاَثًا
Jabir bin ʿAbdullah said to me, "Your cousin (Hasan bin Muhammad bin Al-Hanafiya) came to me and asked about the bath of Janaba. I replied, 'The Prophet ﷺ uses to take three handfuls of water, pour them on his head and then pour more water over his body.' Al-Hasan said to me, 'I am a hairy man.' I replied, 'The Prophet ﷺ had more hair than you'. "
كَيْفَ الْغُسْلُ مِنَ الْجَنَابَةِ فَقُلْتُ كَانَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ يَأْخُذُ ثَلاَثَةَ أَكُفٍّ وَيُفِيضُهَا عَلَى رَأْسِهِ ثُمَّ يُفِيضُ عَلَى سَائِرِ جَسَدِهِ فَقَالَ لِي الْحَسَنُ إِنِّي رَجُلٌ كَثِيرُ الشَّعَرِ فَقُلْتُ كَانَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ أَكْثَرَ مِنْكَ شَعَرًا
5.5 To wash the body (parts) once only
٥۔٥ باب الْغُسْلِ مَرَّةً وَاحِدَةً
I placed water for the bath of the Prophet. He washed his hands twice or thrice and then poured water on his left hand and washed his private parts. He rubbed his hands over the earth (and cleaned them), rinsed his mouth, washed his nose by putting water in it and blowing it out, washed his face and both forearms and then poured water over his body. Then he withdrew from that place and washed his feet.
مَيْمُونَةُ وَضَعْتُ لِلنَّبِيِّ ﷺ مَاءً لِلْغُسْلِ فَغَسَلَ يَدَيْهِ مَرَّتَيْنِ أَوْ ثَلاَثًا ثُمَّ أَفْرَغَ عَلَى شِمَالِهِ فَغَسَلَ مَذَاكِيرَهُ ثُمَّ مَسَحَ يَدَهُ بِالأَرْضِ ثُمَّ مَضْمَضَ وَاسْتَنْشَقَ وَغَسَلَ وَجْهَهُ وَيَدَيْهِ ثُمَّ أَفَاضَ عَلَى جَسَدِهِ ثُمَّ تَحَوَّلَ مِنْ مَكَانِهِ فَغَسَلَ قَدَمَيْهِ
5.6 Starting one's bath by scenting oneself with Hilab or some other scent
٥۔٦ باب مَنْ بَدَأَ بِالْحِلاَبِ أَوِ الطِّيبِ عِنْدَ الْغُسْلِ
Whenever the Prophet ﷺ took the bath of Janaba (sexual relation or wet dream) he asked for the Hilab or some other scent. He used to take it in his hand, rub it first over the right side of his head and then over the left and then rub the middle of his head with both hands.
كَانَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ إِذَا اغْتَسَلَ مِنَ الْجَنَابَةِ دَعَا بِشَىْءٍ نَحْوَ الْحِلاَبِ فَأَخَذَ بِكَفِّهِ فَبَدَأَ بِشِقِّ رَأْسِهِ الأَيْمَنِ ثُمَّ الأَيْسَرِ فَقَالَ بِهِمَا عَلَى رَأْسِهِ
5.7 To rinse the mouth and to clean the nose by putting water in it and then blowing it out while taking the bath of Janaba
٥۔٧ باب الْمَضْمَضَةِ وَالاِسْتِنْشَاقِ فِي الْجَنَابَةِ
I placed water for the bath of the Prophet ﷺ and he poured water with his right hand on his left and washed them. Then he washed his private parts and rubbed his hands on the ground, washed them with water, rinsed his mouth and washed his nose by putting water in it and blowing it out, washed his face and poured water on his head. He withdrew from that place and washed his feet. A piece of cloth (towel) was given to him but he did not use it.
صَبَبْتُ لِلنَّبِيِّ ﷺ غُسْلاً فَأَفْرَغَ بِيَمِينِهِ عَلَى يَسَارِهِ فَغَسَلَهُمَا ثُمَّ غَسَلَ فَرْجَهُ ثُمَّ قَالَ بِيَدِهِ الأَرْضَ فَمَسَحَهَا بِالتُّرَابِ ثُمَّ غَسَلَهَا ثُمَّ تَمَضْمَضَ وَاسْتَنْشَقَ ثُمَّ غَسَلَ وَجْهَهُ وَأَفَاضَ عَلَى رَأْسِهِ ثُمَّ تَنَحَّى فَغَسَلَ قَدَمَيْهِ ثُمَّ أُتِيَ بِمِنْدِيلٍ فَلَمْ يَنْفُضْ بِهَا
5.8 The rubbing of hands with earth in ore to clean them thoroughly
٥۔٨ باب مَسْحِ الْيَدِ بِالتُّرَابِ لِيَكُونَ أَنْقَى
The Prophet ﷺ took the bath of Janaba. (sexual relation or wet dream). He first cleaned his private parts with his hand, and then rubbed it (that hand) on the wall (earth) and washed it. Then he performed ablution like that for the prayer, and after the bath he washed his feet.
أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ اغْتَسَلَ مِنَ الْجَنَابَةِ فَغَسَلَ فَرْجَهُ بِيَدِهِ ثُمَّ دَلَكَ بِهَا الْحَائِطَ ثُمَّ غَسَلَهَا ثُمَّ تَوَضَّأَ وُضُوءَهُ لِلصَّلاَةِ فَلَمَّا فَرَغَ مِنْ غُسْلِهِ غَسَلَ رِجْلَيْهِ
5.9 Can a Junub (a person who has yet to take bath after the sexual act or wet dream) put his hands in a pot (containing water) before washing them if they are not polluted with a dirty thing except Janaba?
٥۔٩ باب هَلْ يُدْخِلُ الْجُنُبُ يَدَهُ فِي الإِنَاءِ قَبْلَ أَنْ يَغْسِلَهَا إِذَا لَمْ يَكُنْ عَلَى يَدِهِ قَذَرٌ غَيْرُ الْجَنَابَةِ
[Machine] Ibn Umar and Bara' bin Azib entered (the place) with their hands in a state of purity, and they did not wash them, then they performed ablution. Ibn Umar and Ibn Abbas did not see any harm in not washing the impurity of janabah.
وَأَدْخَلَ ابْنُ عُمَرَ وَالْبَرَاءُ بْنُ عَازِبٍ يَدَهُ فِي الطَّهُورِ، وَلَمْ يَغْسِلْهَا ثُمَّ تَوَضَّأَ. وَلَمْ يَرَ ابْنُ عُمَرَ وَابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ بَأْسًا بِمَا يَنْتَضِحُ مِنْ غُسْلِ الْجَنَابَةِ.
The Prophet ﷺ and I used to take a bath from a single pot of water and our hands used to go in the pot after each other in turn.
كُنْتُ أَغْتَسِلُ أَنَا وَالنَّبِيُّ ﷺ مِنْ إِنَاءٍ وَاحِدٍ تَخْتَلِفُ أَيْدِينَا فِيهِ
Whenever Messenger of Allah ﷺ took a bath of Janaba, he washed his hands first.
كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ إِذَا اغْتَسَلَ مِنَ الْجَنَابَةِ غَسَلَ يَدَهُ
The Prophet ﷺ and I used to take a bath from a single pot of water after Janaba.
كُنْتُ أَغْتَسِلُ أَنَا وَالنَّبِيُّ ﷺ مِنْ إِنَاءٍ وَاحِدٍ مِنْ جَنَابَةٍ وَعَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ الْقَاسِمِ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ عَائِشَةَ مِثْلَهُ
The Prophet ﷺ and one of his wives used to take a bath from a single pot of water. (Shuʿba added to Anas' Statement "After the Janaba").
سَمِعْتُ أَنَسَ بْنَ مَالِكٍ يَقُولُ كَانَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ وَالْمَرْأَةُ مِنْ نِسَائِهِ يَغْتَسِلاَنِ مِنْ إِنَاءٍ وَاحِدٍ زَادَ مُسْلِمٌ وَوَهْبٌ عَنْ شُعْبَةَ مِنَ الْجَنَابَةِ
5.10 Interval during ablution or bath
٥۔١٠ باب تَفْرِيقِ الْغُسْلِ وَالْوُضُوءِ
[Machine] It is mentioned that Ibn Umar washed his feet after his ablution had dried.
وَيُذْكَرُ عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ أَنَّهُ غَسَلَ قَدَمَيْهِ بَعْدَ مَا جَفَّ وَضُوءُهُ.
I placed water for the bath of Messenger of Allah ﷺ and he poured water over his hands and washed them twice or thrice; then he poured water with his right hand over his left and washed his private parts (with his left hand). He rubbed his hand over the earth and rinsed his mouth and washed his nose by putting water in it and blowing it out. After that he washed his face, both fore arms and head thrice and then poured water over his body. He withdrew from that place and washed his feet.
مَيْمُونَةُ وَضَعْتُ لِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ مَاءً يَغْتَسِلُ بِهِ فَأَفْرَغَ عَلَى يَدَيْهِ فَغَسَلَهُمَا مَرَّتَيْنِ مَرَّتَيْنِ أَوْ ثَلاَثًا ثُمَّ أَفْرَغَ بِيَمِينِهِ عَلَى شِمَالِهِ فَغَسَلَ مَذَاكِيرَهُ ثُمَّ دَلَكَ يَدَهُ بِالأَرْضِ ثُمَّ مَضْمَضَ وَاسْتَنْشَقَ ثُمَّ غَسَلَ وَجْهَهُ وَيَدَيْهِ ثُمَّ غَسَلَ رَأْسَهُ ثَلاَثًا ثُمَّ أَفْرَغَ عَلَى جَسَدِهِ ثُمَّ تَنَحَّى مِنْ مَقَامِهِ فَغَسَلَ قَدَمَيْهِ
5.11 Pouring water with one's right hand over the left one, during the bath
٥۔١١ باب مَنْ أَفْرَغَ بِيَمِينِهِ عَلَى شِمَالِهِ فِي الْغُسْلِ
I placed water for the bath of Messenger of Allah ﷺ and put a screen. He poured water over his hands, and washed them once or twice. (The sub-narrator added that he did not remember if she had said thrice or not). Then he poured water with his right hand over his left one and washed his private parts. He rubbed his hand over the earth or the wall and washed it. He rinsed his mouth and washed his nose by putting water in it and blowing it out. He washed his face, forearms and head. He poured water over his body and then withdrew from that place and washed his feet. I presented him a piece of cloth (towel) and he pointed with his hand (that he does not want it) and did not take it.
وَضَعْتُ لِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ غُسْلاً وَسَتَرْتُهُ فَصَبَّ عَلَى يَدِهِ فَغَسَلَهَا مَرَّةً أَوْ مَرَّتَيْنِ قَالَ سُلَيْمَانُ لاَ أَدْرِي أَذَكَرَ الثَّالِثَةَ أَمْ لاَ ثُمَّ أَفْرَغَ بِيَمِينِهِ عَلَى شِمَالِهِ فَغَسَلَ فَرْجَهُ ثُمَّ دَلَكَ يَدَهُ بِالأَرْضِ أَوْ بِالْحَائِطِ ثُمَّ تَمَضْمَضَ وَاسْتَنْشَقَ وَغَسَلَ وَجْهَهُ وَيَدَيْهِ وَغَسَلَ رَأْسَهُ ثُمَّ صَبَّ عَلَى جَسَدِهِ ثُمَّ تَنَحَّى فَغَسَلَ قَدَمَيْهِ فَنَاوَلْتُهُ خِرْقَةً فَقَالَ بِيَدِهِ هَكَذَا وَلَمْ يُرِدْهَا
5.12 Having sexual intercourse and repeating it. And engaging with one's own wives and taking a single bath (after doing so)
٥۔١٢ باب إِذَا جَامَعَ ثُمَّ عَادَ، وَمَنْ دَارَ عَلَى نِسَائِهِ فِي غُسْلٍ وَاحِدٍ
on the authority of his father that he had asked ʿAisha (about the Hadith of Ibn ʿUmar). She said, "May Allah be Merciful to Abu ʿAbdur-Rahman. I used to put scent on Messenger of Allah ﷺ and he used to go round his wives, and in the morning he assumed the Ihram, and the fragrance of scent was still coming out from his body."
يَرْحَمُ اللَّهُ أَبَا عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ كُنْتُ أُطَيِّبُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَيَطُوفُ عَلَى نِسَائِهِ ثُمَّ يُصْبِحُ مُحْرِمًا يَنْضَخُ طِيبًا
Anas bin Malik said, "The Prophet ﷺ used to visit all his wives in a round, during the day and night and they were eleven in number." I asked Anas, "Had the Prophet ﷺ the strength for it?" Anas replied, "We used to say that the Prophet ﷺ was given the strength of thirty (men)." And Saʿid said on the authority of Qatada that Anas had told him about nine wives only (not eleven).
كَانَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ يَدُورُ عَلَى نِسَائِهِ فِي السَّاعَةِ الْوَاحِدَةِ مِنَ اللَّيْلِ وَالنَّهَارِ وَهُنَّ إِحْدَى عَشْرَةَ قَالَ قُلْتُ لأَنَسٍ أَوَكَانَ يُطِيقُهُ قَالَ كُنَّا نَتَحَدَّثُ أَنَّهُ أُعْطِيَ قُوَّةَ ثَلاَثِينَ وَقَالَ سَعِيدٌ عَنْ قَتَادَةَ إِنَّ أَنَسًا حَدَّثَهُمْ تِسْعُ نِسْوَةٍ
5.13 The washing away of emotional urethral discharge and performing ablution after it
٥۔١٣ باب غَسْلِ الْمَذْىِ وَالْوُضُوءِ مِنْهُ
I used to get emotional urethral discharge frequently. Being the son-in-law of the Prophet ﷺ I requested a man to ask him about it. So the man asked the Prophet ﷺ about it. The Prophet ﷺ replied, "Perform ablution after washing your organ (penis)."
أَنْ يَسْأَلَ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ لِمَكَانِ ابْنَتِهِ فَسَأَلَ فَقَالَ تَوَضَّأْ وَاغْسِلْ ذَكَرَكَ
5.14 Whoever scented himself and then took a bath while the effect of scent remained even after bathing
٥۔١٤ باب مَنْ تَطَيَّبَ ثُمَّ اغْتَسَلَ وَبَقِيَ أَثَرُ الطِّيبِ
I asked ʿAisha about the saying of Ibn ʿUmar (i.e. he did not like to be a Muhrim while the smell of scent was still coming from his body). ʿAisha said, "I scented Messenger of Allah ﷺ and he went round (had sexual intercourse with) all his wives, and in the morning he was Muhrim (after taking a bath)."
سَأَلْتُ عَائِشَةَ فَذَكَرْتُ لَهَا قَوْلَ ابْنِ عُمَرَ: مَا أُحِبُّ أَنْ أُصْبِحَ مُحْرِمًا أَنْضَخُ طِيبًا، فَقَالَتْ عَائِشَةُ: أَنَا طَيَّبْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ ثُمَّ طَافَ فِي نِسَائِهِ ثُمَّ أَصْبَحَ مُحْرِمًا۔
It is as if I am just looking at the glitter of scent in the parting of the Prophet's head hair while he was a Muhrim.
كَأَنِّي أَنْظُرُ إِلَى وَبِيصِ الطِّيبِ فِي مَفْرِقِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ وَهْوَ مُحْرِمٌ
5.15 To rub the hair thoroughly (while taking a bath) till one feels that one has made his skin wet (underneath the hair) and the one pours water over it
٥۔١٥ باب تَخْلِيلِ الشَّعَرِ حَتَّى إِذَا ظَنَّ أَنَّهُ قَدْ أَرْوَى بَشَرَتَهُ أَفَاضَ عَلَيْهِ
(on the authority of his father) ʿAisha said, "Whenever Messenger of Allah ﷺ took the bath of Janaba, he cleaned his hands and performed ablution like that for prayer and then took a bath and rubbed his hair, till he felt that the whole skin of the head had become wet, then he would pour water thrice and wash the rest of the body." ʿAisha further said, "I and Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to take a bath from a single water container, from which we took water simultaneously."
كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ إِذَا اغْتَسَلَ مِنَ الْجَنَابَةِ غَسَلَ يَدَيْهِ وَتَوَضَّأَ وُضُوءَهُ لِلصَّلاَةِ ثُمَّ اغْتَسَلَ ثُمَّ يُخَلِّلُ بِيَدِهِ شَعَرَهُ حَتَّى إِذَا ظَنَّ أَنْ قَدْ أَرْوَى بَشَرَتَهُ أَفَاضَ عَلَيْهِ الْمَاءَ ثَلاَثَ مَرَّاتٍ ثُمَّ غَسَلَ سَائِرَ جَسَدِهِ وَقَالَتْ كُنْتُ أَغْتَسِلُ أَنَا وَرَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ مِنْ إِنَاءٍ وَاحِدٍ نَغْرِفُ مِنْهُ جَمِيعًا
5.16 Whoever performed the ablution of Janaba and then washed his body but did not wash once again the parts which were washed in ablution
٥۔١٦ بَابُ مَنْ تَوَضَّأَ فِي الْجَنَابَةِ ثُمَّ غَسَلَ سَائِرَ جَسَدِهِ، وَلَمْ يُعِدْ، غَسْلَ مَوَاضِعِ الْوُضُوءِ مَرَّةً أُخْرَى
Water was placed for the ablution of Messenger of Allah ﷺ after Janaba. He poured water with his right hand over his left twice or thrice and then washed his private parts and rubbed his hand on the earth or on a wall twice or thrice and then rinsed his mouth, washed his nose by putting water in it and then blowing it out and then washed his face and forearms and poured water over his head and washed his body. Then he shifted from that place and washed his feet. I brought a piece of cloth, but he did not take it and removed the traces of water from his body with his hand."
وَضَعَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَضُوءًا لِجَنَابَةٍ فَأَكْفَأَ بِيَمِينِهِ عَلَى شِمَالِهِ مَرَّتَيْنِ أَوْ ثَلاَثًا ثُمَّ غَسَلَ فَرْجَهُ ثُمَّ ضَرَبَ يَدَهُ بِالأَرْضِ أَوِ الْحَائِطِ مَرَّتَيْنِ أَوْ ثَلاَثًا ثُمَّ مَضْمَضَ وَاسْتَنْشَقَ وَغَسَلَ وَجْهَهُ وَذِرَاعَيْهِ ثُمَّ أَفَاضَ عَلَى رَأْسِهِ الْمَاءَ ثُمَّ غَسَلَ جَسَدَهُ ثُمَّ تَنَحَّى فَغَسَلَ رِجْلَيْهِ قَالَتْ فَأَتَيْتُهُ بِخِرْقَةٍ فَلَمْ يُرِدْهَا فَجَعَلَ يَنْفُضُ بِيَدِهِ
5.17 If someone while in the mosque remembers that he is Junub, he should leave (the mosque to take a bath) and should not perform Tayammum
٥۔١٧ باب إِذَا ذَكَرَ فِي الْمَسْجِدِ أَنَّهُ جُنُبٌ يَخْرُجُ كَمَا هُوَ وَلاَ يَتَيَمَّمُ
Once the call (Iqama) for the prayer was announced and the rows were straightened. Messenger of Allah ﷺ came out; and when he stood up at his Musalla, he remembered that he was Junub. Then he ordered us to stay at our places and went to take a bath and then returned with water dropping from his head. He said, "Allahu-Akbar", and we all offered the prayer with him.
أُقِيمَتِ الصَّلاَةُ وَعُدِّلَتِ الصُّفُوفُ قِيَامًا فَخَرَجَ إِلَيْنَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَلَمَّا قَامَ فِي مُصَلاَّهُ ذَكَرَ أَنَّهُ جُنُبٌ فَقَالَ لَنَا مَكَانَكُمْ ثُمَّ رَجَعَ فَاغْتَسَلَ ثُمَّ خَرَجَ إِلَيْنَا وَرَأْسُهُ يَقْطُرُ فَكَبَّرَ فَصَلَّيْنَا مَعَهُ
5.18 The removing of water from one's body with one's hands after taking the bath of Janaba
٥۔١٨ باب نَفْضِ الْيَدَيْنِ مِنَ الْغُسْلِ عَنِ الْجَنَابَةِ
I placed water for the bath of the Prophet ﷺ and screened him with a garment. He poured water over his hands and washed them. After that he poured water with his right hand over his left and washed his private parts, rubbed his hands with earth and washed them, rinsed his mouth, washed his nose by putting water in it and then blowing it out and then washed his face and forearms. He poured water over his head and body. He then shifted from that place and washed his feet. I gave him a piece of cloth but he did not take it and came out removing the water (from his body) with both his hands.
مَيْمُونَةُ وَضَعْتُ لِلنَّبِيِّ ﷺ غُسْلاً فَسَتَرْتُهُ بِثَوْبٍ وَصَبَّ عَلَى يَدَيْهِ فَغَسَلَهُمَا ثُمَّ صَبَّ بِيَمِينِهِ عَلَى شِمَالِهِ فَغَسَلَ فَرْجَهُ فَضَرَبَ بِيَدِهِ الأَرْضَ فَمَسَحَهَا ثُمَّ غَسَلَهَا فَمَضْمَضَ وَاسْتَنْشَقَ وَغَسَلَ وَجْهَهُ وَذِرَاعَيْهِ ثُمَّ صَبَّ عَلَى رَأْسِهِ وَأَفَاضَ عَلَى جَسَدِهِ ثُمَّ تَنَحَّى فَغَسَلَ قَدَمَيْهِ فَنَاوَلْتُهُ ثَوْبًا فَلَمْ يَأْخُذْهُ فَانْطَلَقَ وَهْوَ يَنْفُضُ يَدَيْهِ
5.19 Starting from the right side of one's head while taking a bath
٥۔١٩ باب مَنْ بَدَأَ بِشِقِّ رَأْسِهِ الأَيْمَنِ فِي الْغُسْلِ
Whenever any one of us was Junub, she poured water over her head thrice with both her hands and then rubbed the right side of her head with one hand and rubbed the left side of the head with the other hand.
كُنَّا إِذَا أَصَابَتْ إِحْدَانَا جَنَابَةٌ أَخَذَتْ بِيَدَيْهَا ثَلاَثًا فَوْقَ رَأْسِهَا ثُمَّ تَأْخُذُ بِيَدِهَا عَلَى شِقِّهَا الأَيْمَنِ وَبِيَدِهَا الأُخْرَى عَلَى شِقِّهَا الأَيْسَرِ
5.20 Whosoever took a bath alone (in seclusion) completely naked
٥۔٢٠ باب مَنِ اغْتَسَلَ عُرْيَانًا وَحْدَهُ فِي الْخَلْوَةِ، وَمَنْ تَسَتَّرَ فَالتَّسَتُّرُ أَفْضَلُ
[Machine] And Bahz reported from his father from his grandfather from the Prophet ﷺ said, "Allah is more deserving to be ashamed of Him than the people."
وَقَالَ بَهْزٌ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ جَدِّهِ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ: «اللَّهُ أَحَقُّ أَنْ يُسْتَحْيَا مِنْهُ مِنَ النَّاسِ».
The Prophet ﷺ said, 'The (people of) Bani Israel used to take bath naked (all together) looking at each other. The Prophet ﷺ Moses used to take a bath alone. They said, 'By Allah! Nothing prevents Moses from taking a bath with us except that he has a scrotal hernia.' So once Moses went out to take a bath and put his clothes over a stone and then that stone ran away with his clothes. Moses followed that stone saying, "My clothes, O stone! My clothes, O stone! till the people of Bani Israel saw him and said, 'By Allah, Moses has got no defect in his body. Moses took his clothes and began to beat the stone." Abu Huraira added, "By Allah! There are still six or seven marks present on the stone from that excessive beating."
عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ كَانَتْ بَنُو إِسْرَائِيلَ يَغْتَسِلُونَ عُرَاةً يَنْظُرُ بَعْضُهُمْ إِلَى بَعْضٍ وَكَانَ مُوسَى يَغْتَسِلُ وَحْدَهُ فَقَالُوا وَاللَّهِ مَا يَمْنَعُ مُوسَى أَنْ يَغْتَسِلَ مَعَنَا إِلاَّ أَنَّهُ آدَرُ فَذَهَبَ مَرَّةً يَغْتَسِلُ فَوَضَعَ ثَوْبَهُ عَلَى حَجَرٍ فَفَرَّ الْحَجَرُ بِثَوْبِهِ فَخَرَجَ مُوسَى فِي إِثْرِهِ يَقُولُ ثَوْبِي يَا حَجَرُ حَتَّى نَظَرَتْ بَنُو إِسْرَائِيلَ إِلَى مُوسَى فَقَالُوا وَاللَّهِ مَا بِمُوسَى مِنْ بَأْسٍ وَأَخَذَ ثَوْبَهُ فَطَفِقَ بِالْحَجَرِ ضَرْبًا فَقَالَ أَبُو هُرَيْرَةَ وَاللَّهِ إِنَّهُ لَنَدَبٌ بِالْحَجَرِ سِتَّةٌ أَوْ سَبْعَةٌ ضَرْبًا بِالْحَجَرِ
The Prophet ﷺ said, "When the Prophet ﷺ Job (Aiyub) was taking a bath naked, golden locusts began to fall on him. Job started collecting them in his clothes. His Lord addressed him, 'O Job! Haven't I given you enough so that you are not in need of them.' Job replied, 'Yes!' By Your Honor (power)! But I cannot dispense with Your Blessings.' "
عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ بَيْنَا أَيُّوبُ يَغْتَسِلُ عُرْيَانًا فَخَرَّ عَلَيْهِ جَرَادٌ مِنْ ذَهَبٍ فَجَعَلَ أَيُّوبُ يَحْتَثِي فِي ثَوْبِهِ فَنَادَاهُ رَبُّهُ يَا أَيُّوبُ أَلَمْ أَكُنْ أَغْنَيْتُكَ عَمَّا تَرَى قَالَ بَلَى وَعِزَّتِكَ وَلَكِنْ لاَ غِنَى بِي عَنْ بَرَكَتِكَ وَرَوَاهُ إِبْرَاهِيمُ عَنْ مُوسَى بْنِ عُقْبَةَ عَنْ صَفْوَانَ عَنْ عَطَاءِ بْنِ يَسَارٍ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ بَيْنَا أَيُّوبُ يَغْتَسِلُ عُرْيَانًا
5.21 To screen oneself from the people while taking a bath
٥۔٢١ باب التَّسَتُّرِ فِي الْغُسْلِ عِنْدَ النَّاسِ
I went to Messenger of Allah ﷺ in the year of the conquest of Mecca and found him taking a bath while Fatima was screening him. The Prophet ﷺ asked, "Who is it?" I replied, "I am Um-Hani."
أَنَّ أَبَا مُرَّةَ مَوْلَى أُمِّ هَانِئٍ بِنْتِ أَبِي طَالِبٍ أَخْبَرَهُ أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ أُمَّ هَانِئٍ بِنْتَ أَبِي طَالِبٍ تَقُولُ ذَهَبْتُ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ عَامَ الْفَتْحِ فَوَجَدْتُهُ يَغْتَسِلُ وَفَاطِمَةُ تَسْتُرُهُ فَقَالَ مَنْ هَذِهِ فَقُلْتُ أَنَا أُمُّ هَانِئٍ
I screened the Prophet ﷺ while he was taking a bath of Janaba. He washed his hands, poured water from his right hand over his left and washed his private parts. Then he rubbed his hand over a wall or the earth, and performed ablution similar to that for the prayer but did not wash his feet. Then he poured water over his body, shifted from that place, and washed his feet.
سَتَرْتُ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ وَهُوَ يَغْتَسِلُ مِنَ الْجَنَابَةِ فَغَسَلَ يَدَيْهِ ثُمَّ صَبَّ بِيَمِينِهِ عَلَى شِمَالِهِ فَغَسَلَ فَرْجَهُ وَمَا أَصَابَهُ ثُمَّ مَسَحَ بِيَدِهِ عَلَى الْحَائِطِ أَوِ الأَرْضِ ثُمَّ تَوَضَّأَ وُضُوءَهُ لِلصَّلاَةِ غَيْرَ رِجْلَيْهِ ثُمَّ أَفَاضَ عَلَى جَسَدِهِ الْمَاءَ ثُمَّ تَنَحَّى فَغَسَلَ قَدَمَيْهِ
5.22 If a woman has a wet dream (nocturnal sexual discharge)
٥۔٢٢ باب إِذَا احْتَلَمَتِ الْمَرْأَةُ
(the mother of the believers) Um Sulaim, the wife of Abu Talha, came to Messenger of Allah ﷺ and said, "O Messenger of Allah ﷺ! Verily Allah is not shy of (telling you) the truth. Is it necessary for a woman to take a bath after she has a wet dream (nocturnal sexual discharge)?" Messenger of Allah ﷺ replied, "Yes, if she notices a discharge."
أَنَّهَا قَالَتْ جَاءَتْ أُمُّ سُلَيْمٍ امْرَأَةُ أَبِي طَلْحَةَ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَقَالَتْ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنَّ اللَّهَ لاَ يَسْتَحْيِي مِنَ الْحَقِّ هَلْ عَلَى الْمَرْأَةِ مِنْ غُسْلٍ إِذَا هِيَ احْتَلَمَتْ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ نَعَمْ إِذَا رَأَتِ الْمَاءَ
5.23 (What is said regarding) the sweat of a Junub. And a Muslim never becomes impure
٥۔٢٣ باب عَرَقِ الْجُنُبِ وَأَنَّ الْمُسْلِمَ لاَ يَنْجُسُ
The Prophet ﷺ came across me in one of the streets of Medina and at that time I was Junub. So I slipped away from him and went to take a bath. On my return the Prophet ﷺ said, "O Abu Huraira! Where have you been?" I replied, "I was Junub, so I disliked to sit in your company." The Prophet ﷺ said, "Subhan Allah! A believer never becomes impure."
أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ لَقِيَهُ فِي بَعْضِ طَرِيقِ الْمَدِينَةِ وَهْوَ جُنُبٌ فَانْخَنَسْتُ مِنْهُ فَذَهَبَ فَاغْتَسَلَ ثُمَّ جَاءَ فَقَالَ أَيْنَ كُنْتَ يَا أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ قَالَ كُنْتُ جُنُبًا فَكَرِهْتُ أَنْ أُجَالِسَكَ وَأَنَا عَلَى غَيْرِ طَهَارَةٍ فَقَالَ سُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ إِنَّ الْمُؤْمِنَ لاَ يَنْجُسُ
5.24 A Junub person) can go out and walk in the market or anywhere else
٥۔٢٤ باب الْجُنُبُ يَخْرُجُ وَيَمْشِي فِي السُّوقِ وَغَيْرِهِ
[Machine] Ata' said, "One who is in a state of major ritual impurity (junub) should clip his nails, shave his pubic hair, and trim his moustache, even if he has not performed ablution (wudu)."
وَقَالَ عَطَاءٌ يَحْتَجِمُ الْجُنُبُ وَيُقَلِّمُ أَظْفَارَهُ، وَيَحْلِقُ رَأْسَهُ، وَإِنْ لَمْ يَتَوَضَّأْ.
The Prophet ﷺ used to visit all his wives in one night and he had nine wives at that time.
أَنَّ نَبِيَّ اللَّهِ ﷺ كَانَ يَطُوفُ عَلَى نِسَائِهِ فِي اللَّيْلَةِ الْوَاحِدَةِ وَلَهُ يَوْمَئِذٍ تِسْعُ نِسْوَةٍ
Messenger of Allah ﷺ came across me and I was Junub. He took my hand and I went along with him till he sat down I slipped away, went home and took a bath. When I came back, he was still sitting there. He then said to me, "O Abu Huraira! Where have you been?' I told him about it. The Prophet ﷺ said, "Subhan Allah! O Abu Huraira! A believer never becomes impure."
لَقِيَنِي رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَأَنَا جُنُبٌ فَأَخَذَ بِيَدِي فَمَشَيْتُ مَعَهُ حَتَّى قَعَدَ فَانْسَلَلْتُ فَأَتَيْتُ الرَّحْلَ فَاغْتَسَلْتُ ثُمَّ جِئْتُ وَهْوَ قَاعِدٌ فَقَالَ أَيْنَ كُنْتَ يَا أَبَا هِرٍّ فَقُلْتُ لَهُ فَقَالَ سُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ يَا أَبَا هِرٍّ إِنَّ الْمُؤْمِنَ لاَ يَنْجُسُ

I asked ʿAisha "Did the Prophet ﷺ use to sleep while he was Junub?" She replied, "Yes, but he used to perform ablution (before going to bed).
سَأَلْتُ عَائِشَةَ أَكَانَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ يَرْقُدُ وَهْوَ جُنُبٌ قَالَتْ نَعَمْ وَيَتَوَضَّأُ
5.26 Sleeping of a Junub person
٥۔٢٦ باب نَوْمِ الْجُنُبِ
I asked Messenger of Allah ﷺ "Can any one of us sleep while he is Junub?" He replied, "Yes, if he performs ablution, he can sleep while he is Junub."
أَنَّ عُمَرَ بْنَ الْخَطَّابِ سَأَلَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ أَيَرْقُدُ أَحَدُنَا وَهْوَ جُنُبٌ قَالَ نَعَمْ إِذَا تَوَضَّأَ أَحَدُكُمْ فَلْيَرْقُدْ وَهُوَ جُنُبٌ

٥۔٢٧ باب الْجُنُبِ يَتَوَضَّأُ ثُمَّ يَنَامُ
Whenever the Prophet ﷺ intended to sleep while he was Junub, he used to wash his private parts and perform ablution like that for the prayer.
كَانَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ إِذَا أَرَادَ أَنْ يَنَامَ وَهْوَ جُنُبٌ غَسَلَ فَرْجَهُ وَتَوَضَّأَ لِلصَّلاَةِ
ʿUmar asked the Prophet ﷺ "Can anyone of us sleep while he is Junub?" He replied, "Yes, if he performs ablution."
اسْتَفْتَى عُمَرُ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ أَيَنَامُ أَحَدُنَا وَهْوَ جُنُبٌ قَالَ نَعَمْ إِذَا تَوَضَّأَ
ʿUmar bin Al-Khattab told Messenger of Allah ﷺ, "I became Junub at night." Messenger of Allah ﷺ replied, "Perform ablution after washing your private parts and then sleep."
أَنَّهُ قَالَ ذَكَرَ عُمَرُ بْنُ الْخَطَّابِ لِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ أَنَّهُ تُصِيبُهُ الْجَنَابَةُ مِنَ اللَّيْلِ فَقَالَ لَهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ تَوَضَّأْ وَاغْسِلْ ذَكَرَكَ ثُمَّ نَمْ

as the following Hadith 290. Narrated Abu Huraira: The Prophet ﷺ said, "When a man sits in between the four parts of a woman and did the sexual intercourse with her, bath becomes compulsory."
عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ إِذَا جَلَسَ بَيْنَ شُعَبِهَا الأَرْبَعِ ثُمَّ جَهَدَهَا فَقَدْ وَجَبَ الْغَسْلُ

٥۔٢٩ باب غَسْلِ مَا يُصِيبُ مِنْ فَرْجِ الْمَرْأَةِ
I asked ʿUthman bin ʿAffan about a man who engaged in the sexual intercourse with his wife but did not discharge. ʿUthman replied, "He should perform ablution like that for the prayer after washing his private parts." ʿUthman added, "I heard that from Messenger of Allah ﷺ." I asked ʿAli bin Abi Talib, Az- Zubair bin Al-ʿAwwam, Talha bin 'Ubaidullah and Ubai bin Kaʿb and they gave the same reply. (Abu Aiyub said that he had heard that from Messenger of Allah ﷺ ) (This order was canceled later on so one has to take a bath. See, Hadith No. 180).
أَرَأَيْتَ إِذَا جَامَعَ الرَّجُلُ امْرَأَتَهُ فَلَمْ يُمْنِ قَالَ عُثْمَانُ يَتَوَضَّأُ كَمَا يَتَوَضَّأُ لِلصَّلاَةِ وَيَغْسِلُ ذَكَرَهُ قَالَ عُثْمَانُ سَمِعْتُهُ مِنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَسَأَلْتُ عَنْ ذَلِكَ عَلِيَّ بْنَ أَبِي طَالِبٍ وَالزُّبَيْرَ بْنَ الْعَوَّامِ وَطَلْحَةَ بْنَ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ وَأُبَىَّ بْنَ كَعْبٍ ؓ فَأَمَرُوهُ بِذَلِكَ قَالَ يَحْيَى وَأَخْبَرَنِي أَبُو سَلَمَةَ أَنَّ عُرْوَةَ بْنَ الزُّبَيْرِ أَخْبَرَهُ أَنَّ أَبَا أَيُّوبَ أَخْبَرَهُ أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ ذَلِكَ مِنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ
I asked Messenger of Allah ﷺ about a man who engages in sexual intercourse with his wife but does not discharge. He replied, "He should wash the parts which comes in contact with the private parts of the woman, perform ablution and then pray." (Abu ʿAbdullah said, "Taking a bath is safer and is the last order.")
أَنَّهُ قَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِذَا جَامَعَ الرَّجُلُ الْمَرْأَةَ فَلَمْ يُنْزِلْ قَالَ يَغْسِلُ مَا مَسَّ الْمَرْأَةَ مِنْهُ ثُمَّ يَتَوَضَّأُ وَيُصَلِّي قَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ الْغَسْلُ أَحْوَطُ وَذَاكَ الآخِرُ وَإِنَّمَا بَيَّنَّا لاِخْتِلاَفِهِمْ
