“If I had known then what I know now, no one would have washed the Prophet ﷺ but his wives.”
لَوْ كُنْتُ اسْتَقْبَلْتُ مِنَ الأَمْرِ مَا اسْتَدْبَرْتُ مَا غَسَّلَ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ غَيْرُ نِسَائِهِ
“If I had known then what I know now, no one would have washed the Prophet ﷺ but his wives.”
لَوْ كُنْتُ اسْتَقْبَلْتُ مِنَ الأَمْرِ مَا اسْتَدْبَرْتُ مَا غَسَّلَ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ غَيْرُ نِسَائِهِ
[Machine] "If I had received the command, I would not have understood what the Prophet ﷺ washed other than his wives. The scholar, may Allah have mercy on him, said, 'I became eager to know this and one should only be eager to know what is permissible.'"
لَوْ كُنْتُ اسْتَقْبَلْتُ مِنَ الْأَمْرِ مَا اسْتَدْبَرْتُ مَا غَسَّلَ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ غَيْرُ نِسَائِهِ قَالَ الشَّيْخُ رَحِمَهُ اللهُ فَتَلَهَّفَتْ عَلَى ذَلِكَ وَلَا يُتَلَهَّفُ إِلَّا عَلَى مَا يَجُوزُ
"لَوْ أنِّي اسْتَقْبَلتُ من أمْرى مَا اسْتَدْبَرْتُ، مَا أهْديتُ وَلَوْلا أَنَّ مَعِى الهَدْى لأحْلَلتُ".
