ذِكْرُ الْبَيَانِ بِأَنَّ مَسْحَ الْمَرْءِ اللَّحْمَ النَّيِّئَ لَا يُوجِبُ عَلَيْهِ وُضُوءًا

The Prophet ﷺ passed by a boy who was skinning a goat. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: Give it up until I show you. He (the Prophet) inserted his hand between the skin and the flesh until it reached the armpit. He then went away and led the people in prayer and he did not perform ablution. The version of Amr added that he did not touch water. Abu Dawud said: This tradition has been narrated though another chain of transmitters, making no mention of Abu Sa'id.  

أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ مَرَّ بِغُلاَمٍ وَهُوَ يَسْلُخُ شَاةً فَقَالَ لَهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ تَنَحَّ حَتَّى أُرِيَكَ فَأَدْخَلَ يَدَهُ بَيْنَ الْجِلْدِ وَاللَّحْمِ فَدَحَسَ بِهَا حَتَّى تَوَارَتْ إِلَى الإِبْطِ ثُمَّ مَضَى فَصَلَّى لِلنَّاسِ وَلَمْ يَتَوَضَّأْ  

“Step aside and I will show you how.” The Messenger of Allah ﷺ put his hand between the skin and the flesh, and thrust his arm in until it disappeared up to the armpit, and said: “O boy, this is how you skin it.” Then he went and led the people in prayer and did not perform Wudu’.  

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ مَرَّ بِغُلاَمٍ يَسْلُخُ شَاةً فَقَالَ لَهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ تَنَحَّ حَتَّى أُرِيَكَ فَأَدْخَلَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَدَهُ بَيْنَ الْجِلْدِ وَاللَّحْمِ فَدَحَسَ بِهَا حَتَّى تَوَارَتْ إِلَى الإِبْطِ وَقَالَ يَا غُلاَمُ هَكَذَا فَاسْلُخْ ثُمَّ مَضَى وَصَلَّى لِلنَّاسِ وَلَمْ يَتَوَضَّأْ  

"عَن أبِى سَعِيدٍ قَالَ: مَرَّ النَّبِىُّ ﷺ بِغُلَام يَسْلُخُ شَاةً، فَقَالَ لَهُ: تَنَحَّ حَتَّى أريَكَ فَإنِّى لَا أراكَ تُحْسنُ تَسْلُخُ، فَأدْخَلَ رَسُولُ الله ﷺ يَدَهُ بَيْنَ الجْلدِ وَاللَّحْم فدحس (*) بِهَا حَتَّى تَوَارَتْ إِلَى الإبِطِ وَقَالَ: هَكَذَا يَا غُلَامُ فَاسْلُخْ ثُمَّ انْطَلَقَ فَصَلَّى بِالنَّاسِ وَلَمْ يَتَوَضأ - يَعْنِي لَمْ يَمسَّ مَاءً".
