[Machine] A man was injured during the time of the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ and it caused him to have a state of impurity (janabah). He sought advice and was instructed to perform a ritual washing (ghusl), which he did. However, he died afterwards. When the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ was informed about this, he said, "They killed him, may Allah kill them. Wasn't the washing of the affected area sufficient for him?" Ata, a companion of the Prophet, reported that the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ was asked about this incident later on and he replied, "If he had washed his body and left the area affected by the injury, it would have been sufficient for him."
أَنَّ رَجُلًا أَصَابَتْهُ جِرَاحَةٌ عَلَى عَهْدِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَأَصَابَتْهُ جَنَابَةٌ فَاسْتَفْتَى فَأُمِرَ بِالْغُسْلِ فَاغْتَسَلَ فَمَاتَ فَبَلَغَ ذَلِكَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ «قَتَلُوهُ قَتَلَهُمُ اللَّهُ أَلَمْ يَكُنْ شِفَاءُ الْعِيِّ السُّؤَالَ» قَالَ عَطَاءٌ فَبَلَغَنِي أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ سُئِلَ بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ فَقَالَ «لَوْ غَسَلَ جَسَدَهُ وَتَرَكَ حَيْثُ أَصَابَهُ الْجِرَاحُ أَجْزَأَهُ»
