8. Book of Purification
٨۔ كِتَابُ الطَّهَارَةِ
ذِكْرُ الْأَمْرِ بِإِسْبَاغِ الْوُضُوءِ لِمَنْ أَرَادَ أَدَاءَ فَرْضِهِ
[Machine] "Two transactions in one deal involve interest, and the Messenger of Allah commands us to perform ablution."
«صَفْقَتَانِ فِي صَفْقَةٍ رِبًا وَأَمَرَنَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ بِإِسْبَاغِ الْوُضُوءِ»
ذِكْرُ الْأَمْرِ بِتَخْلِيلِ الْأَصَابِعِ لِلْمُتَوَضِّئِ مَعَ الْقَصْدِ فِي إِسْبَاغِ الْوُضُوءِ
[Machine] I was a guest of the Banu Muntafiq and we went to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. We arrived at the house of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ but we did not find him there. We met Aisha instead, and she ordered for us a dish made from dates called "khazeerah". She brought it to us in a plate covered with a mask made of dates. We ate it, and then the Messenger of Allah ﷺ came and said, "Did you find anything? Or should I command something for you?" We replied, "Yes, O Messenger of Allah."
كُنْتُ وَافِدَ بَنِي الْمُنْتَفِقِ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَقَدِمْنَا عَلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَلَمْ نُصَادِفْهُ فِي مَنْزِلِهِ وَصَادَفْنَا عَائِشَةَ فَأَمَرَتْ لَنَا بِخَزِيرَةٍ فَصُنِعَتْ وَأَتَتْنَا بِقِنَاعٍ وَالْقِنَاعُ الطَّبَقُ فِيهِ التَّمْرُ فَأَكَلْنَا فَجَاءَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ «هَلْ أَصَبْتُمْ شَيْئًا؟ أَوْ آمُرُ لَكُمْ بِشَيْءٍ؟ » قُلْنَا نَعَمْ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ
ذِكْرُ الْعِلَّةِ الَّتِي مِنْ أَجْلِهَا أَمَرَ بِإِسْبَاغِ الْوُضُوءِ
We returned from Mecca to Medina with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, and when we came to some water on the way, some of the people were in a hurry at the time of the afternoon prayer and performed ablution hurriedly; and when we reached them, their heels were dry, no water had touched them. The Prophet ﷺ said: Woe to (dry) heels, because of Hell-fire. Make your ablution thorough. (Using translation from Muslim 241a)
رَجَعْنَا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ مِنْ مَكَّةَ إِلَى الْمَدِينَةِ حَتَّى إِذَا كُنَّا بِبَعْضِ الطَّرِيقِ تَعَجَّلَ قَوْمٌ عِنْدَ الْعَصْرِ فَتَوَضَّؤُوا وَهُمْ عِجَالٌ قَالَ فَانْتَهَيْنَا إِلَيْهِمْ وَأَعْقَابُهُمْ تَلُوحُ لَمْ يَمَسَّهَا الْمَاءُ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «وَيْلٌ لِلْأَعْقَابِ مِنَ النَّارِ أَسْبِغُوا الْوُضُوءَ»
ذِكْرُ الْخَبَرِ الْمُدْحِضِ قَوْلَ مَنْ زَعَمَ أَنَّ الْفَرْضَ عَلَى الْمُتَوَضِّئِ فِي وَضُوئِهِ الْمَسْحُ عَلَى الرِجْلَيْنِ دُونَ الْغُسْلِ
[Machine] "To enter them (the hands) into the container, then he entered his right hand into the container and let the water gush out from it. He filled his mouth, rinsed it, and sniffed water three times. Then he entered his hand into the container and washed his face three times, his forearms three times, and wiped his head with both hands, starting from the front and moving towards the back. Then he entered his right hand and poured water onto his right foot, washing it. Then he entered his hand into the container and washed the other foot. Then he said, 'Whoever wants to see the ablution of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ , this is his ablution.'"
أَنْ يُدْخِلَهُمَا الْإِنَاءَ ثُمَّ أَدْخَلَ يَدَهُ الْيُمْنَى فِي الْإِنَاءِ فَغَرَفَ مِنْهُ مَاءً فَمَلَأَ فَاهُ فَمَضْمَضَ وَاسْتَنْشَقَ ثَلَاثًا ثُمَّ أَدْخَلَ يَدَهُ فِي الْإِنَاءِ فَغَسَلَ وَجْهَهُ ثَلَاثًا وَذِرَاعَيْهِ ثَلَاثًا ثُمَّ مَسَحَ رَأْسَهُ بِيَدَيْهِ جَمِيعًا مُقَدَّمَهُ وَمُؤَخَّرَهُ ثُمَّ أَدْخَلَ الْيُمْنَى فَأَفْرَغَ عَلَى قَدَمِهِ الْيُمْنَى فَغَسَلَهَا ثُمَّ أَدْخَلَ يَدَهُ فِي الْإِنَاءِ ثُمَّ أَخْرَجَهَا فَغَسَلَ الْأُخْرَى ثُمَّ قَالَ «مَنْ أَحَبَّ أَنْ يَنْظُرَ إِلَى وُضُوءِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَهَذَا وُضُوؤُهُ»
ذِكْرُ الْعِلَّةِ الَّتِي مِنْ أَجْلِهَا كَانَ يَمْسَحُ عَلِيُّ بْنُ أَبِي طَالِبٍ رِضْوَانُ اللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ رِجْلَيْهِ فِي وَضُوئِهِ
[Machine] "That one of them drinks while standing, and indeed I saw the Messenger of Allah ﷺ doing as I did, and this is the ablution of whoever does not perform an innovation."
أَنْ يَشْرَبَ أَحَدُهُمْ وَهُوَ قَائِمٌ وَإِنِّي رَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَعَلَ كَمَا فَعَلْتُ وَهَذَا وُضُوءُ مَنْ لَمْ يُحْدِثْ»
ذِكْرُ الْخَبَرِ الْمُدْحِضِ قَوْلَ مَنْ زَعَمَ أَنَّ الْكَعْبَ هُوَ الْعَظْمُ النَّاتِئُ عَلَى ظَاهِرِ الْقَدَمِ دُونَ الْعَظْمَيْنِ النَّاتِئَيْنِ عَلَى جَانِبِهِمَا
I saw ʿUthman bin ʿAffan ؓ do wudooʿ, He poured water onto his hands three times and washed them, then he rinsed his mouth and nose, then he washed his face three times, then he washed his right arm up to the elbow three times, then the left arm likewise, then he wiped his head, then he washed his right foot three times, then the left foot likewise. He said: I saw the Messenger of Allah ﷺ do wudooʿ similar to what I just did, then he said: “Whoever does wudooʿ as I just did, then prays two rak’ahs without letting his mind wander, his previous sins will be forgiven” (Using translation from Aḥmad 421)
أَنَّ عُثْمَانَ بْنَ عَفَّانَ رِضْوَانُ اللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ دَعَا بِوَضُوءٍ فَتَوَضَّأَ وَغَسَلَ كَفَّهُ ثَلَاثَ مَرَّاتٍ ثُمَّ مَضْمَضَ وَاسْتَنْشَقَ ثُمَّ غَسَلَ وَجْهَهَ ثَلَاثَ مَرَّاتٍ ثُمَّ غَسَلَ يَدَهُ الْيُمْنَى إِلَى الْمِرْفَقِ ثَلَاثَ مَرَّاتٍ ثُمَّ غَسَلَ يَدَهُ الْيُسْرَى مِثْلَ ذَلِكَ ثُمَّ مَسَحَ بِرَأْسِهِ ثُمَّ غَسَلَ رِجْلَهُ الْيُمْنَى إِلَى الْكَعْبَيْنِ ثَلَاثَ مَرَّاتٍ ثُمَّ غَسَلَ رِجْلَهُ الْيُسْرَى مِثْلَ ذَلِكَ ثُمَّ قَالَ رَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ تَوَضَّأَ نَحْوَ وُضُوئِي هَذَا ثُمَّ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ « تَوَضَّأَ نَحْوَ وُضُوئِي هَذَا ثُمَّ قَامَ فَرَكَعَ رَكْعَتَيْنِ لَا يُحَدِّثُ فِيهِمَا نَفْسَهُ غَفَرَ اللَّهُ لَهُ مَا تَقَدَّمَ مِنْ ذَنْبِهِ»
ذِكْرُ الزَّجْرِ عَنْ تَرْكِ تَعَاهُدِ الْمَرْءِ عَرَاقِيبَهُ وَبُطُونَ قَدَمَيْهِ فِي الْوُضُوءِ
"Aishah saw 'Abdur-Rahman performing abluti0on, and she said: Perform ablution properly, for I heard the Messenger of Allah say: 'Woe to the Achilles' tendon because of Hell-fire.'" (Using translation from Ibn Mājah 452)
يَا عَبْدَ الرَّحْمَنِ أَسْبِغِ الْوُضُوءَ فَإِنِّي سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ «وَيْلٌ لِلْعَرَاقِيبِ مِنَ النَّارِ»
