Yahya related to me from Malik from Amr ibn Yahya al-Mazini
that his father once asked Abdullah ibn Zayd ibn Asim, who
was the grandfather of Amr ibn Yahya al-Mazini and one of
the companions of the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless
him and grant him peace, if he could show him how the
Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him
peace, did wudu. Abdullah ibn Zayd ibn Asim agreed to do
so and asked for water to do wudu. He poured some out on
to his hand and washed each hand twice and then rinsed his
mouth and snuffed water up his nose and blew it out three
times.Then he washed hisface three times and both of his
arms up to the elbows twice. He then wiped his head with
both hands, taking his hands from hisforehead to the nape
of his neck and then bringing them back to where he had
begun. Then he washed his feet.
Yahya related to me from Malik from Abu'zZinad from al-Araj
from Abu Hurayra that the Messenger of Allah, may Allah
bless him and grant him peace, said, "When you do wudu,
snuff water into your nose and blow it out, and if you use
stones to clean your private parts use an odd number."
Yahya related to me from Ibn Shihab from Abu Idris al-Khawlani
from Abu Hurayra that the Messenger of Allah, may Allah
bless him and grant him peace, said, "The person doing
wudu should snuff water up his nose and blow it out
again."
Yahya related to me from Malik that he had heard that
Abd ar-Rahman ibn Abi Bakr was visiting A'isha, the wife
of the Prophet, may AIIah bless him and grant him peace,
on the day that Sad ibn Abi Waqqas died, and he asked for
some water to do wudu. A'isha said to him, ''Abd ar-Rahman!
Perform your wudu fully, for I heard the Messenger of
Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, say, 'Woe
to the heels in the fire.' "
Yahya related to me from Malik from Yahya ibn Muhammad
ibn Talhafrom Uthman ibn Abd ar-Rahman that his father
related to him that he had heard that Umar ibn al-Khattab
used to wash what was beneath his waist wrapper with
water.
Yahya said that Malik was asked what a man should do
if, when he did wudu, he forgot and washed his face before
he had rinsed his mouth, or washed his forearms before he
had washed his face. He said, "If someone washes his face
before rinsing his mouth, he should rinse his mouth and
not wash his face again. If someone washes his forearms
before his face, however, he should wash his forearms
again so that he has washed them after his face. This is
if he is still near the place (of wudu)."
Yahya said that Malik was asked about what a man should
do if he had forgotten to rinse his mouth and nose until
he had prayed, and he said, "He does not have to repeat
the prayer, but should rinse his mouth and nose if he
wishes to do any more prayers after that."
Section: The Wudu of a Man who has been Asleep when he
Gets Up to Pray
Yahya related to me from Malik from Abu'zZinad from al-Araj
from Abu Hurayra that the Messenger of Allah, may Allah
bless him and grant him peace, said, "When you wake up
from sleep to pray, wash your hands before you put them in
the wudu water, for you do not know where your hands have
spent the night."
Yahya related to me from Malik from Zayd ibn Aslam that
Umar ibn al-Khattab said, "If you fall asleep Iying down
you must do wudu ( before you pray) . "
Yahya related to me from Malik from Zayd ibn Aslam that
the ayat "You who believe! When you rise for prayer wash
your faces, and your arms to the elbows, and wipe over
your heads and your feet up to the ankles," refers to
rising from bed, meaning sleep.
Yahya said that Malik said, "The situation with us is
that one does not have to do wudu for a nose-bleed, or for
blood, or for pus issuing from the body. One only has to
do wudu for impurities which issue from the genitals or
the anus, or for sleep."
Yahya related to me from Malik from Nafithat Ibn Umar
used to sleep sitting and then would pray without doing
wudu.
Yahya related to me from Malik from Safwan ibn Sulaym
from Said ibn Salama of the Bani Azraq from al-Mughira ibn
Abi Burda of the tribe of Bani Abd ad-Dar that he had
heard Abu Hurayra speak about a man who came to the
Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him
peace, and said, "Messenger of Allah! We travel by sea and
we do not carry much fresh water with us so if we do wudu
with it we go thirsty. Can we do wudu with seawater?" The
Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him
peace, replied, "lts water is pure, and its dead creatures
are halal."
Yahya related to me from Malik from Ishaq ibn Abdullah
ibn Abi Talha from Humayda bint Abi Ubayda ibn Farwa that
her maternal aunt Kabsha bint Kab ibn Malik, who was the
wife of the son of Abu Qatada al-Ansari, told her that
once Abu Qatada was visiting her and she poured out some
water for him to do wudu with. Just then a cat came to
drink from it, so he tilted the vessel towards it to let
it drink. Kabsha continued, "He saw me looking at him and
said, 'Are you surprised, daughter of my brother?' I said,
'Yes.' He replied that the Messenger of Allah, may Allah
bless him and grant him peace, said, cats are not impure.
They intermingle with you .' "
Yahya said that Malik said, "There is no harm in that
unless one sees impurities on the cat's mouth."
Yahya related to me from Malik from Yahya ibn Said from
Muhammad ibn Ibrahim ibn alHarith at-Taymi from Yahya ibn
Abd ar-Rahman ibn Hatib that Umar ibn al-Khattab set out
on one occasion with a party of riders, one of whom was
Amr ibn al-As. They came to a watering place and Amr ibn
al-As asked the man who owned it whether wild beasts drank
from it. Umar ibn al-Khattab told the owner of the
watering place not to answer, since the people drank after
the wild beasts and the wild beasts drank after them.
Yahya related to me from Malik from Nafi that Abdullah
ibn Umar used to say that men and their wives used to do
wudu together in the time of the Messenger of Allah.
Yahya related to me from Malik from Muhammad ibn Umara
from Muhammad ibn Ibrahim that the mother of the son of
Ibrahim ibn Abd ar-Rahman ibn Awf questioned Umm Salama,
the wife of the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him
peace, and said, "I am a woman who wears a long skirt and
(sometimes) I walk in dirty places." Umm Salama replied,
"The Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him
peace, said, 'What follows (i.e. clean places) purifies
it.' "
Yahya related to me from Malik that he saw Rabia ibn
Abd ar-Rahman vomit several times when he was in the
mosque and he did not leave, nor did he do wudu before he
prayed.
Yahya said that Malik was asked whether a man who
vomited food had to do wudu and he said, "He does not have
to do wudu, but he should rinse the inside of his mouth
and wash his mouth out."
Yahya related to me from Malik from Nafi that Abdullah
ibn Umar prepared the body of one of Said ibn Zayd's sons
for burial and carried it and then entered the mosque and
prayed without doing wudu.
Yahya said that Malik was asked whether it was
necessary to do wudu because of regurgitating undigested
food and he said, "No, wudu is not necessary, but the
mouth should be rinsed."
Section: Discontinuing Doing Wudu on Account of Eating
Cooked Food
Yahya related to me from Malik from Zayd Aslam from Ata
ibn Yasar from Abdullah Abbas that the Messenger of Allah,
may Allah bless him and grant him peace, ate a shoulder of
lamb and then prayed without doing wudu.
Yahya related to me from Malik from Yahya ibn Said from
Bushayr ibn Yasar, the mawla of the Bani Haritha, that
Suwayd ibn anNuman told him that he went with the
Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him
peace, on the expedition to Khaybar. When they reached as
Suhba, which was near Khaybar, the Messenger of Allah, may
Allah bless him and grant him peace, stopped and prayed
asr. He asked for provisions but only parched barley was
brought, so he asked for it to be moistened. The Messenger
of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, ate and
the people ate with him. Then he got up to do maghrib and
rinsed his mouth out and they rinsed out theirs. Then he
prayed without doing wudu.
Yahya related to me from Malik that both Muhammad ibn
al-Munkadir and Safwan ibn Sulaym transmitted to him from
Muhammad ibn Ibrahim ibn al-Harith at-Taymi from Rabia ibn
Abdullah ibn al-Hudayr that he had eaten an evening meal
with Umar ibn al-Khattab who then prayed without doing
wudu.
Yahya related to me from Malik from Damra ibn Said al-Mazini
from Aban ibn Uthman that Uthman ibn Affan ate bread and
meat, rinsed his mouth out, washed his hands and wiped his
face with them, and then prayed without doing wudu.
Yahya related to me from Malik from Yahya ibn Said that
he asked Abdullah ibn Amir ibn Rabia whether a man who did
wudu for prayer and then ate cooked food had to do wudu
again. He said, "I saw my father do that without doing
wudu ."
Yahya related to me from Malik from Abu Nuaym Wahb ibn
Kaysan that he heard Jabir ibn Abdullah al-Ansari saying,
"I saw Abu Bakr as-Siddiq eat meat and then pray without
doing wudu."
Yahya related to me from Malik from Muhammad ibn al-Munkadir
that the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant
him peace, was invited to eat, and some bread and meat was
brought to him. He ate some of it, and then did wudu and
prayed. Then more of the same food was brought and he ate
some more and then prayed without doing wudu.
It was related to me from Malik from Musa ibn Uqba from
Abd ar-Rahman ibn Yazid al-Ansari that when Anas ibn Malik
came back from Iraq, Abu Talha and Ubayy ibn Kab visited
him. He brought them some cooked food and they ate, and
then Anas got up and did wudu. Abu Talha and Ubayy ibn Kab
asked, "What's this, Anas? Is it an Iraqi custom?" and
Anas said, "I wish I had not done it." (i.e. wudu). Abu
Talha and Ubayy ibn Kab both got up and prayed without
doing wudu.
Yahya related to me from Malik from Hisham ibn Urwa
from his father that the Messenger of Allah, may Allah
bless him and grant him peace, was asked about cleaning
after excretion. He replied, "Are any of you unable to
find three stones?"
Yahya related to me from Malik from al-Ala ibn Abd
ar-Rahman from his father from Abu Hurayra that the
Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him
peace, went to the burial grounds and said, "Peace be upon
you, home of a people who believe! We shall be among you,
Allah willing. I wish that I had seen our brothers!" The
people with him said, "Messenger of Allah! Are we not your
brothers?" "No," he said, "You are my companions. Our
brothers are those who have not yet come. And I will
precede them to the Hawd. (The Hawd: the watering place of
the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, from
which he will give to the people of his community on the
day of rising.)" They asked him, "Messenger of Allah! How
will you recognise those of your community who come after
you?"
He said, "Doesn't a man who has horses with white legs
and white blazes on their foreheads among totally black
horses recognise which ones are his own?" They said, "Of
course, Messenger of Allah." He went on, "Even so will
they come on the day of rising with white marks on their
foreheads, hands and feet from wudu, and I will precede
them to the Hawd. Some men will be driven away from the
Hawd as if they were straying camels and I shall call out
to them, 'Will you not come? Will you not come? Will you
not come?' and someone will say, 'They changed things
after you,' so I shall say, 'Then away with them, away
with them, away with them!' "
Yahya related to me from Malik from Hisham ibn Urwa
from his father from Humran, the mawla of Uthman ibn Affan,
that Uthman ibn Affan was once sitting on the Maqaid (the
benches surrounding the Madina Mosque, or else a stone
near Uthman ibn Affan's house where he sat to discuss with
people), when the muadhdhin came and told him that it was
time for the asr prayer. He called for water and did wudu.
Then he said, "By Allah, I shall tell you something which
I would not tell you if it were not in the Book of Allah.
I heard the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and
grant him peace, say, 'If a man does wudu, and makes sure
he does it correctly, and then does the prayer, he will be
forgiven everything that he does between then and the time
when he prays the next prayer.' "
Yahya said that Malik said, "I believe he meant this
ayat - 'Establish prayer at the two ends of the day and in
some watches of the night. Good actions take away wrong
actions. That is a reminder for those who remember.' " (Sura
11 ayat 114).
Yahya related to me from Malik from Zayd ibn Aslam from
Ata ibn Yasar from Abdullah as-Sanabihi that the Messenger
of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said,
"A trusting slave does wudu and as he rinses his mouth the
wrong actions leave it. As he cleans his nose the wrong
actions leave it. As he washes his face, the wrong actions
leave it, even from underneath his eyelashes. As he washes
his hands the wrong actions leave them, even from
underneath his fingernails. As he wipes his head the wrong
actions leave it, even from his ears. And as he washes his
feet the wrong actions leave them, even from underneath
the toenails of both his feet." He added, "Then his
walking to the mosque and his prayer are an extra reward
for him."
Yahya related to me from Malik from Suhayl ibn Abi
Salih from his father from Abu Hurayra that the Messenger
of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said,
"A muslim slave (or a trusting slave) does wudu and as he
washes his face every wrong action he has seen with his
eyes leaves with the water (or the last drop of water). As
he washes his hands every wrong action he has done with
his hands leaves with the water (orthe last drop of
water). And as he washes his feet every wrong action his
feet have walked to leaves with the water (or the last
drop of water) so that he comes away purified of wrong
actions."
Yahya related to me from Malik from Ishaq ibn Abdullah
ibn Abi Talha that Anas ibn Malik said, "I saw the
Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him
peace, on one occasion when the asr prayer was at hand .
Everyone was looking for water for wudu but no-one could
find any. Then the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him
and grant him peace, brought some water in a vessel . He
put his hand into the vessel and then he told them all to
do wudu from it." Anas added, "I saw water coming out from
his fingers. Then all of them to the last man did wudu."
Yahya related to me from Malik from Nuaym ibn Abdullah
al-Madani al-Mujmir that he heard Abu Hurayra say, "If
someone does wudu and does it correctly and then goes off
intending to do the prayer, then he is in prayer as long
as he intends to do the prayer. A good action is written
for every alternate step he makes and a wrong action is
erased for the second. When you hear the iqama do not
lengthen your stride, and the one who has the greatest
reward is the one whose house is farthest away." They
said, "Why, Abu Hurayra?" He replied, "Because of the
greater number of steps."
Yahya related to me from Malik from Yahya ibn Said that
he heard someone ask Said ibn al-Musayyab about washing
off excreta with water. Said said, "That is the way women
wash."
Yahya related to me from Malik from Abu'z-Zinad from
al-Araj from Abu Hurayra that the Messenger of Allah, may
Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, "If a dog
drinks from your vessel, wash it seven times."
Yahya related to me from Malik that he had heard that
the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him
peace, said, "Try to go straight, although you will not be
able to do so. Act, and the best of your actions is the
prayer. And only a mumin is constant in his wudu."
Yahya related to me from Malik that he had heard that
Jabir ibn Abdullah al-Ansari was asked about wiping over a
turban. He said, "Not unless you have wiped over your hair
with water."
Yahya related to me from Malik from Nafi that she saw
Safiyya bint Abi Ubayd, the wife of Abdullah ibn 'Umar,
take off her head-covering and wipe her head with water.
Nafi was a child at the time.
Malik was asked about a man who did wudu but forgot to
wipe his head until the water had dried. He said, "I
consider that he should wipe his head and then repeat the
prayer if he has already performed it."
Malik was asked about a man who did wudu but forgot to
wipe his head until the water had dried. He said, "I
consider that he should wipe his head and then repeat the
prayer if he has already performed it."
Yahya related to me from Malik from Ibn Shihab from
Abbad ibn Ziyad, a descendant of al-Mughira ibn Shuba from
his father from al Mughira ibn Shuba that the Messenger of
Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, went to
relieve himself during the expedition of Tabuk. Mughira
said, "I went with him, taking water. Then the Messenger
of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, came
back and I poured out the water for him. He washed his
hands and then went to push his hands out of the sleeves
of his garment, but could not do so because of their
narrowness. So he brought them out from underneath his
garment. Then he washed his arms, wiped his head and wiped
over his leather socks. The Messenger of Allah, may Allah
bless him and grant him peace, returned and Abdar Rahman
ibn Awf was leading the people in prayer, and he had
already finished one raka with them. The Messenger of
Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, prayed the
remaining raka with them to everyone's concern. When the
Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him
peace, finished he said, 'You have acted correctly.' "
Yahya related to me from Malik that Nafi and Abdullah
ibn Dinar told him that Abdullah ibn Umar arrived at Kufa
and went to Sad ibn Abi Waqqas, who was the Amir of Kufa
at that time. Abdullah ibn Umar saw him wiping over his
leather socks and disapproved of it. So Sad said to him,
"Ask your father when you get back." Abdullah returned but
forgot to ask Umar about the matter until Sad arrived and
said, "Have you asked your father?" and he said, "No."
Abdullah then asked Umar and Umar replied, "If your
feet are ritually pure when you put them in the leather
socks then you can wipe over the socks." Abdullah said
,"What about if we have just come from relieving
ourselves?" Umar said, "Yes, even if you have just come
from relieving yourself."
Yahya related to me from Malik from Nafi that Abdullah
ibn Umar urinated in the market place and then did wudu,
washing his face and hands and wiping his head. Then as
soon as he had come into the mosque, he was called to pray
over a dead person, so he wiped over his leather socks and
prayed.
Yahya related to me from Malik that Said ibn Abd
ar-Rahman ibn Ruqash said, "I saw Anas ibn Malik come and
squat and urinate.Then water was brought and he did wudu.
He washed his face, then his arms to the elbows, and then
he wiped his head and wiped over his leather socks. Then
he came to the mosque and prayed."
Yahya said that Malik was asked whether a man who did
wudu for prayerand then put on his leather socks, and then
urinated and took them off and put them back on again,
should begin wudu afresh.
Malik replied, "He should take off his socks and wash
his feet. Only someone who puts on leather socks when his
feet are (already) ritually purified by wudu can wipe over
them. Someone who puts on leather socks when his feet are
not ritually purified by wudu, should not wipe over them."
Yahya said that Malik was asked about a man who did
wudu with his leather socks on and forgot to wipe over
them until the water was dry and he had prayed, and he
said, "He should wipe over his socks and repeat the prayer
but not repeat wudu."
Malik was asked about a man who washed his feet and put
on his leather socks and then started doing wudu, and he
said, "He should take off his socks and do wudu and wash
his feet."
Yahya related to me from Malik from Hisham ibn Urwa
that he saw his father wiping over his leather socks. He
said, "When he wiped over his socks he would never do more
than wipe the tops and he would not wipe the bottoms."
Yahya related to me that Malik had asked Ibn Shihab how
to wipe over leather socks. Ibn Shihab had put one hand
under the sock and his other hand above the sock and then
passed them over it.
Yahya said that Malik said, "Out of all that I have
heard about the matter I like what Ibn Shihab said the
most."
Yahya related to me from Malik from Nafi that Abdullah
ibn Umar would leave and do wudu if he had a nose-bleed
and then return and complete his prayer without saying
anything.
Yahya related to me from Malik from Nafi that Abdullah
ibn Abbas used to have nose-bleeds and would leave to wash
off the blood. He would then return and complete his
prayer.
Yahya related to me from Malik from Yazid ibn Abdullah
Qusayt al-Laythi that he saw Said ibn al-Musayyab having a
nose-bleed while praying. He went off to the room of Umm
Salama, the wife of the Prophet, may Allah bless him and
grant him peace, and water was brought to him and he did
wudu. He then returned and completed his prayer.
Yahya related to me that Abd ar-Rahman ibn Harmala al-Aslami
said, "I saw Said ibn al-Musayyab with his nose bleeding
and blood poured out of it so that his fingers were all
red from the blood coming out of his nose, and he prayed
without doing wudu."
Yahya related to me from Malik from Abd ar Rahman ibn
al-Mujabbar that he saw Salim ibn Abdullah with blood
running from his nose so that his fingers were all
coloured red. Then he rubbed it and prayed without doing
wudu.
Section: What to Do in the Event of Bleeding from a
Wound or a Nose-Bleed
Yahya related to me from Hisham ibn Urwa from his
father that al-Miswar ibn Makhrama told him that he had
visited Umar ibn al Khattab on the night he was stabbed
and had woken him up for the subh prayer and Umar had
said, ''Yes. Whoever stops doing the prayer will get
nothing from Islam," and he did the prayer with blood
pouring from his wound.
Yahya related to me from Malik from Yahya ibn Said that
Said ibn al-Musayyab was asked, "What do you say about
someone who is afflicted by a nose-bleed which does not
stop? "Malik said that Yahya ibn Said said that Said ibn
al Musayyab said, "I say that he should signal with his
head." (i.e. instead of doing sajda or ruku.)
Yahya said that Malik said, "That is what I like most
out of what I have heard about the matter."
Yahya related to me from Malik from Abu'n Nadr, the
mawla of Abdullah ibn Ubaydullah, from Sulayman ibn Yasar
from alMiqdad ibn al-Aswad that Ali ibn Abi Talib told him
to ask the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and
grant him peace, what a man should do, who, when close to
his wife, had a flow of prostatic fluid. Ali explained
that the daughter of the Messenger of Allah, may Allah
bless him and grant him peace, was living with him then
and he was too shy to ask for himself. Al-Miqdad said, "I
asked the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and
grant him peace, about it, and he said, 'When you find
that, wash your genitals with water and do wudu as for
prayer.' "
Yahya related to me from Zayd ibn Aslam from his father
that Umar ibn al-Khattab said, "I find it dropping from me
like small beads. When you find that, wash your penis and
do wudu as for prayer."
Yahya related to me from Malik from Zayd ibn Aslam from
his father that Jundub, the mawla of Abdullah ibn Ayyash,
said, "I asked Abdullah ibn Umar about prostatic fluid and
he said, 'When you find it, wash your genitals and do wudu
as for prayer.' "
Section: Indulgence in Not Having to do Wudu for
Prostatic Fluid
Yahya related to me from Malik from Yahya ibn Said that
he was listening to Said ibn al-Musayyab and a man
questioned him saying, "I discover a liquid when I am
praying. Should I leave?"
Said ibn al-Musayyab said to him, "Even if it were to
flow on my leg I would not leave until I had finished the
prayer."
Yahya related to me from Malik that as-Salt ibn Zuyayd
said, "I asked Sulayman ibn Yasar about a liquid I
discovered. He said, 'Wash what is under your garments
with water and forget about it.' "
Yahya related to me from Malik that Abdullah ibn Abi
Bakr ibn Muhammad ibn Amr ibn Hazim heard Urwa ibn
az-Zubayr saying, "I went to see Marwan ibn al-Hakam and
we talked about what you had to do wudu for, and Marwan
said, 'You have to do wudu if you touch your penis.' Urwa
said, 'I didn't know that.' Marwan ibn al-Hakam said that
Busra bint Safwan had told him that she heard the
Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him
peace, say, 'If any of you touches his penis he should do
wudu.' "
Yahya related to me from Malik from Ismail ibn Muhammad
ibn Sad ibn Abi Waqqas that Musab ibn Sad ibn Abi Waqqas
said, "I was holding the Book for Sad ibn Abi Waqqas and I
rubbed myself. Sad said, 'Did you touch your penis?' I
replied, 'Yes,' and he said, 'Get up and do wudu.' So I
got up and did wudu and then returned."
Yahya related from Malik from Ibn Shihab that Salim ibn
Abdullah said, "I saw my father Abdullah ibn Umar, do
ghusl and then do wudu. I said to him, 'Father, isn't
ghusl enough for you?' He said, 'Of course, but sometimes
I touch my penis, so I do wudu.' "
Yahya related to me from Malik from Nafi that Salim ibn
'Abdullah said, "I was with Abdullah ibn Umar on a journey
and after the sun had risen I saw him do wudu and then
pray. So I said to him, 'This isn't a prayer that you
normally do. 'He said, 'After I had done wudu for the subh
prayer, I touched my genitals. Then I forgot to do wudu.
So I did wudu again and repeated my prayer.' "
Section: Wudu on Account of a Man Kissing His Wife
Yahya related to me from Malik from Ibn Shihab from
Salim ibn Abdullah that his father Abdullah ibn Umar used
to say, "A man's kissing his wife and fondling her with
his hands are part of intercourse. Someone who kisses his
wife or fondles her with his hand must do wudu."
Yahya related to me from Malik that Ibn Shihab used to
say, "Wudu is necessary if a man kisses his wife." Nafi
said that Malik said, "That is what I like most out of
what I have heard."
Section: How to do Ghusl for Major Ritual Impurity
Yahya related to me from Malik from Hisham ibn Urwa
from his father from A'isha, umm al-muminin, that whenever
the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him
peace, did ghusl for major ritual impurity, he would begin
by washing his hands, and then do wudu as for prayer. He
would then put his fingers in the water and rub the roots
of his hair with them. Then he would pour as much water as
two hands can hold on to his head three times, and over
the entire surface of his skin.
Yahya related to me from Malik from Ibn Shihab from
Urwa ibn az-Zubayr from A'isha, umm al-muminin, that the
Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him
peace, used to do ghusl for major ritual impurity from a
vessel which contained a faraq.
Yahya related to me from Malik from Nafi that when
Abdullah ibn Umar used to do ghusl for major ritual
impurity he would begin by pouring water on his right hand
and washing it. Then, in order, he would wash his
genitals, rinse his mouth, snuff water in and out of his
nose, wash his face and splash his eyes with water. Then
he would wash his right arm and then his left, and after
that he would wash his head. He would finish by having a
complete wash and pouring water all over himself.
Yahya related to me from Malik that he had heard that
A'isha was asked about how a woman should do ghusl for
major ritual impurity. She said, "She should scoop water
over her head with both hands three times and rub the
roots of her hair with her hands."
Section: Obligation to Do Ghusl when the Two Circumcised
Parts Meet
Yahya related to me from Malik from Ibn Shihab from
Said ibn al-Musayyab that Umar ibn al-Khattab and Uthman
ibn Affan and A'isha, the wife of the Prophet, may Allah
bless him and grant him peace, used to say, "When the
circumcised part touches the circumcised part, ghusl is
obligatory."
Yahya related to me from Malik from Abu'n Nadr, the
mawla of Umar ibn Abdullah that Abu Salamaibn Abdar-Rahman
ibn Awf related that he had asked A'isha, the wife of the
Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, what
made ghusl obligatory. She said, "Do you know what you are
like, Abu Salama? You are like a chick when it hears the
cocks crowing and so crows with them. When the circumcised
part passes the circumcised part, ghusl is obligatory."
Yahya related to me from Malik from Yahya ibn Said from
Said ibn al-Musayyab that Abu Musa al-Ashari came to
A'isha, the wife of the Prophet, may Allah bless him and
grant him peace, and said to her, "The disagreement of the
companions in a matter which I hate to bring before you
has distressed me." She said, "What is that? You did not
ask your mother about it, so ask me." He said, "A man
penetrates his wife, but becomes listless and does not
ejaculate. "She said, "When the circumcised part passes
the circumcised part ghusl is obligatory." Abu Musa added,
"I shall never ask anyone about this after you."
Yahya related to me from Malik from Yahya ibn Said from
Abdullah ibn Kab, the mawla of Uthman ibn Affan that
Mahmud ibn Labid al-Ansari asked Zayd ibn Thabit about a
man who penetrated his wife but became listless and did
not ejaculate. Zayd ibn Thabit said, "He does ghusl."
Mahmud said to him, "Ubayy ibn Kab used not to think that
ghusl was necessary," but Zayd ibn Thabit said, "Ubayy ibn
Kab drew away from that before he died."
Yahya related to me from Malik from Nafi that Abdullah
ibn Umar used to say, "When the circumcised part passes
the circumcised part, ghusl is obligatory."
Section: Wudu of a Person in a State of Major Ritual
Impurity (Janaba)
Yahya related to me from Malik from Abdullah ibn Dinar
that Abdullah ibn Umar related that Umar ibn al-Khattab
mentioned to the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him
and grant him peace, that he would sometimes become junub
in the night. The Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him
and grant him peace, said to him, "Do wudu and wash your
penis, and then sleep."
Yahya related to me from Malik from Hisham ibn Urwa
from his father that A'isha, the wife of the Prophet, may
Allah bless him and grant him peace, used to say, "If you
have intercourse with your wife and then wish to go to
sleep before doing ghusl, do not sleep until you have done
wudu as for prayer."
Yahya related to me from Malik from Nafi that Abdullah
ibn Umar, if he wished to sleep or eat while junub, would
wash his face, and his arms to the elbows, and wipe his
head. Then he would eat or sleep.
2.20 The Repetition of the Prayer by a Person in a
State of Major Ritual Impurity, his Doing Ghusl, when He
has Prayed without Remembering it, and his Washing his
Garments.
Section: The Repetition of the Prayer by a Person in a
State of Major Ritual Impurity, his Doing Ghusl, when He has
Prayed without Remembering it, and his Washing his Garments
Yahya related to me from Malik from Ismail ibn Abi
Hakim that Ata ibn Yasar told him that the Messenger of
Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said the
takbir in one of the prayers and then indicated to them
with his hand to stay in place. He left and then returned
with traces of water on his skin.
Yahya related to me from Malik from Hisham ibn Urwa
that Zuyayd ibn as-Salt said, "I went with Umar ibn al-Khattab
to Juruf and he looked down and noticed that he had had a
wet dream and had prayed without doing ghusl. He
exclaimed, 'By Allah I realise that I have had a wet dream
and did not know it and have not done ghusl.' So he did
ghusl and washed off whatever he saw on his garment, and
sprinkled with water whatever he did not see.Then he gave
the adhan or the iqama and prayed in the midmorning."
Yahya related to me from Malik from Ismail ibn Abi
Hakim from Sulayman ibn Yasar that Umar ibn al-Khattab
went out early in the morning to his land in al-Juruf and
found semen on his garment. He said, "I have been tried
with wet dreams since I have been entrusted with governing
the people." He did ghusl and washed his garment of what
he saw of the semen, and then prayed after the sun had
risen.
Yahya related to me from Malik from Yahya ibn Said from
Sulayman ibn Yasar that Umar ibn al-Khattab led the people
in the subh prayer and then went out to his land in Juruf
and found semen on his clothes. He said, "Since we have
been eating rich meat our veins have become fulsome." He
did ghusl, washed the semen from his clothing, and did his
prayer again.
Yahya related to me from Malik from Hisham ibn Urwa
from his father fromYahyaibn Abd ar-Rahman ibn Ha ib that
he had set off for Mumra with Umar ibn al-Khattab in a
party of riders, among whom was Amr ibn al-As. Umar ibn
al-Khattab dismounted for a rest late at night on a
certain road near a certain oasis. Umar had a wet dream
when it was almost dawn and there was no water among the
riding party. He rode until he came to some water and then
he began to wash off what he saw of the semen until it had
gone. Amr ibn al-As said to him, "It is morning and there
are clothes with us, so allow your garment to be washed.
''Umar ibn al-Khattab said to him, "I am surprised at you,
Amr ibn al-As! Even if you could find clothes, would
everybody be able to find them? By Allah, if I were to do
it, it would become a sunna. No, I wash what I see, and I
sprinkle with water what I do not see."
Malik spoke about a man who found traces of a wet dream
on his clothes and did not know when it had occurred and
did not remember anything he had seen in his sleep. He
said, "Let the intention of his ghusl be from the time
when he last slept, and if he has prayed since that last
sleep he should repeat it. This is because often a man has
a wet dream and sees nothing, and often he sees something
but does not have an emission. But, if he finds liquid on
his garment he must do ghusl. This is because Umar
repeated what he had prayed after the time he had last
slept and not what was before it."
Section: Ghusl of a Woman when She Experiences the Same
as a Man in Her Sleep
Yahya related to me from Malik from Ibn Shihab from
Urwa ibn az-Zubayr that Umm Sulayman said to the Messenger
of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, "Should
a woman do ghusl when she experiences the same as a man in
her sleep?" The Messenger of Al lah said to her, "Yes, she
should do ghusl. "A'isha said to her, "Shame on you! Does
a woman see that?" (i.e. a liquid.) The Messenger of
Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said to
her, "May your right hand be full of dust. From where does
family resemblance come?"
Yahya related to me from Malik from Hisham ibn Urwa
from his father from Zaynab bint Abi Salama that Umm
Salama, the wife of the Prophet, may Allah bless him and
grant him peace, said, "Umm Salama, the wife of Abu Talha
al-Ansari, came to the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless
him and grant him peace, and said, 'Messenger of Allah!
Allah is not ashamed of the truth-does a woman have to do
ghusl if she has had an erotic dream?' He said, 'Yes, if
she sees any liquid.' "
Yahya related to me from Malik from Nafi that Abdullah
ibn Umar used to say, "There is no harm in doing ghusl
with water that has been used by one's wife as long as she
is not menstruating or in a state of major ritual impurity
(junub)."
Yahya related to me from Malik from Nafi that the slave
girls of Abdullah ibn Umar used to wash his feet and bring
him a mat of palm leaves while they were menstruating.
Malik was asked whether a man who had women and
slavegirlscould have intercourse with all of them before
he did ghusl. He said, "There is no harm in a man having
intercourse with two of his slave girls before he does
ghusl. It is disapproved of, however, to go to a freewoman
on another's day. There is no harm in making love first to
one slave girl and then to another when one is junub."
Malik was asked about a man who was junub and water was
put down for him to do ghusl with.Then he forgot and put
his finger into it to find out whether it was hot or cold.
Malik said, "If no filth has soiled his fingers, I do not
consider that that makes the water impure."
Yahya related to me from Malik from Abd arRahman ibn
al-Qasim from his father that A'isha umm al-muminin said,
"We went out on a journey with the Messenger of Allah, may
Allah bless him and grant him peace, and, when we came to
Bayda' or Dhat al-Jaysh, a necklace of mine broke. The
Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him
peace, stopped to look for it and the people stopped with
him. There was no water nearby and the people were not
carrying any with them, so they came to Abu Bakr as-Siddiq
and said, 'Don't you see what A'isha has done? She has
made the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant
him peace, and the people stop when there is no water
nearby and they are not carrying any with them.' "
A'isha continued, "Abu Bakr came and the Messenger of
Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, had fallen
asleep with his head on my thigh . Abu Bakr said, 'You
have made the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and
grant him peace, and the people stop when there is no
water nearby and they are not carrying any with them ' "
She continued, "Abu Bakr remonstrated with me and said
whatever Allah willed him to say, and began to poke me in
the waist. The only thing that stopped me from moving was
that the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant
him peace, had his head on my thigh. The Messenger of
Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, slept
until morning found him with no water. Allah, the Blessed
and Exalted, sent down the ayat of tayammum and so they
did tayammum. Usayd ibn Hudayr said, 'This is not the
first baraka from you, O family of Abu Bakr.'"
A'isha added, "We roused the camel I had been on and
found the necklace under it."
Malik was asked whether a man who did tayammum for one
prayer should do tayammum when the time of the next prayer
came or whether the first tayammum was enough. He said,
"No, he does tayammum for every prayer, because he has to
look for water for every prayer. If he looks for it and
does not find it then he does tayammum."
Malik was asked whether a man who did tayammum could
lead others in prayer if they were in wudu. He said, "I
prefer that someone else should lead them. However, I see
no harm in it if he does lead them in prayer."
Yahya said that Malik said that a man who did tayammum
because he could not find any water, and then stood and
said the takbir and entered into the prayer, and then
someone came with some water, did not stop his prayer but
completed it with tayammum and did wudu for future
prayers.
Yahya said that Malik said, "Whoever rises for prayer
and does not find water and so does what Allah has ordered
him to do of tayammum has obeyed Allah. Someone who does
find water is neither purer than him nor more perfect in
prayer, because both have been commanded and each does as
Allah has commanded. What Allah has commanded as far as
wudu is concerned is for the one who finds water, and
tayammum is for the one who does not find water before he
enters into the prayer."
Malik said that a man who was in a state of major
ritual impurity could do tayammum and read his portion of
Qur'an and do voluntary prayers as long as he did not find
any water. This applied only to circumstances in which it
was allowable to pray with tayammum.
Yahya related to me from Malik from Nafi that Abdullah
ibn Umar and he were approaching Juruf. When they got to
Mirbad, Abdullah got down and did tayammum with some good
earth. He wiped his face, and his arms to the elbows, and
then prayed.
Yahya related to me from Malik from Nafi that Abdullah
ibn Umar used to do tayammum up to his elbows.
Malik was asked about how tayammum was done and what
parts were covered and he said, "Strike the ground once
for the face and once for the arms and wipe them to the
elbows."
Section: Tayammum of Someone in a State of Major Ritual
Impurity
Yahya related to me from Malik from Abd arRahman ibn
Harmala that a man asked Said ibn al-Musayyab about what a
man who was junub and had done tayammum should do when he
came across water. Said said, "When he comes across water
he must do ghusl for what comes after."
Malik said about some one who had a wet dream while he
was on a journey and there was only enough water for wudu
and he was not thirsty and so he did not need to use it
for that, "Let him wash his genitals, and whatever the
semen has fallen on, with the water and then he does
tayammum with good earth as Allah has ordered him."
Malik was asked whether a man who was junub and wished
to do tayammum but could only find salty earth could do
tayammum with that earth, and whether it was disapproved
of to pray on salty earth. He said, "There is no harm in
praying on salty earth or in using it to do tayammum,
because Allah the Blessed and Exalted has said, '...and do
tayammum with good earth.' One is purified by tayammum
with everything that is earth, whether it is salty or
otherwise."
Section: What is Permitted a Man from his Wife when She
is Menstruating
Yahya related to me from Malik from Zayd ibn Aslam that
a man questioned the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless
him and grant him peace, saying, "What is permitted me
from my wife when she is menstruating?" The Messenger of
Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, "Let
her wrap her waist-wrapper round herself tightly, and then
what is above that is your concern."
Yahya related to me from Malik from Rabia ibn Abi Abd
ar-Rahman that on one occasion A'isha, the wife of the
Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, was
sleeping with the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him
and grant him peace, in one garment, when suddenly she
jumped up sharply. The Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless
him and grant him peace, said to her, "What's the matter
with you? Are you losing blood?", meaning menstruating.
She said, "Yes." He said, "Wrap your waist-wrapper tightly
about you, and return to your sleeping-place."
Yahya related to me from Malik from Nafi that
Ubaydullah ibn Abdullah ibn Umar sent a question to A'isha
asking her, "May a man fondle his wife when she is
menstruating?" She replied, "Let her wrap her
waist-wrapper around her lower part and then he may fondle
her if he wishes."
Yahya related to me from Malik that he had heard that
Salim ibn Abdullah and Sulayman ibn Yasar were asked
whether the husband of a menstruating woman could have
sexual intercourse with her when she saw that she was pure
but before she had had a ghusl. They said, "No, not until
she has had a ghusl."
Yahya related to me from Malik from AIqama ibn Abi
AIqama that his mother, the mawla of A'isha, umm
al-muminin, said, "Women used to send little boxes to
A'isha, umm al-muminin, with a piece of cotton cloth in
each one on which was yellowness from menstrual blood,
asking her about the prayer. She said to them, 'Do not be
hasty until you see a white discharge." By that she meant
purity from menses.
Yahya related to me from Malik from Abdullah ibn Abi
Bakr from his paternal aunt from the daughter of Zayd ibn
Thabit that she had heard that women used to ask for lamps
in the middle of the night to check their purity. She
would criticise them for this saying, "Women never used to
do this," i.e. in the time of the companions.
Malik was asked whether a woman whose period had
finished could do tayammum to purify herself if she could
not find waterand he said, "Yes, because she is like some
one in a state of major ritual impurity, who, if he cannot
find water, does tayammum."
Yahya related to me from Malik that he had heard that
A'isha, the wife of the Prophet, may Allah bless him and
grant him peace, said that a pregnant woman who noticed
bleeding left off from prayer.
Yahya related to me from Malik from Hisham ibn Urwa
from his father that A'isha, the wife of the Prophet, may
Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, "I used to comb
the head of the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him
and grant him peace, while I was menstruating."
Yahya related to me from Malik from Hisham ibn Urwa
from his father from Fatima bint al-Mundhir ibn az-Zubayr
that Asma bint Abu Bakr as-Siddiq said, "A woman
questioned the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and
grant him peace, saying, 'If menstrual blood gets onto our
clothes how do you think we should deal with it?' The
Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him
peace, said, 'If menstrual blood gets onto your clothes
you should wash them, and sprinkle them with water before
you pray in them.' "
Yahya related to me from Malik from Hisham ibn Urwa
from his father that A'isha, the wife of the Prophet, may
Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, "Fatima bint
Abu Hubaysh said, 'Messenger of Allah, I never become pure
- am I permitted to pray?' The Messenger of Allah, may
Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, 'That is a
vein, not menstruation. So when your period approaches,
leave off from the prayer, and when its grip leaves, wash
the blood from yourself and pray.' "
Yahya related to me from Malik from Nafi from Sulayman
ibn Yasarfrom Umm Salama, the wife of the Prophet, may
Allah bless him and grant him peace, that a certain woman
in the time of the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him
and grant him peace, used to bleed profusely, so Umm
Salama consulted the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless
him and grant him peace, for her, and he said, "She should
calculate the number of nights and days a month that she
used to menstruate before it started happening, and she
should leave off from prayerfor that much of the month.
When she has completed that she should do ghusl, bind her
private parts with a cloth, and then pray."
Yahya related to me from Malik from Hisham ibn Urwa
from his father from Zaynab bint Abu Salama that she saw
Zaynab bint Jahsh, the wife of Abd ar-Rahman ibn Awf, and
she used to bleed as if menstruating. She would do ghusl
and pray.
Yahya related to me from Malik from Sumayy, the mawla
of Abu Bakr ibn Abd ar-Rahman that al-Qaqa ibn Hakim and
Zayd ibn Aslam sent him to Said ibn al-Musayyab to ask how
a woman who was bleeding as if menstruating should do
ghusl. Said said, "She does a ghusl to cover from the end
of one period to the end of the next, and does wudu for
every prayer, and if bleeding overtakes her she should
bind her private parts."
Yahya related to me from Malik from Hisham ibn Urwa
that his father said, "A woman who bleeds as if
menstruating only has to do one ghusl, and then after that
she does wudu for each prayer."
Yahya said that Malik said, "The position with us is
that when a woman who bleeds as if menstruating starts to
do the prayer again, her husband can have sexual
intercourse with her. Similarly, if a woman who has given
birth sees blood after she has reached the fullest extent
that bleeding normally restrains women, her husband can
have sexual intercourse with her and she is in the same
position as a woman who bleeds as if menstruating."
Yahya said that Malik said, "The position with us
concerning a woman who bleeds as if menstruating is
founded on the hadith of Hisham ibn Urwa from his father,
and it is what I prefer the most of what I have heard
about the matter."
Yahya related to me from Malik from Hisham ibn Urwa
from his father that A'isha, the wife of the Prophet, may
Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, "An infant boy
was brought to the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him
and grant him peace, and it urinated on him. The Messenger
of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, called
for some water and rubbed over the urine with it."
Yahya related to me from Malik from Ibn Shihab from
Ubaydullah ibn Abdullah ibn Utba ibn Masud from Umm Qays
ibn Mihsan that she brought a baby boy of hers who was not
yet eating food to the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless
him and grant him peace, and he sat it in his arms and it
urinated on his garment, so the Messenger of Allah, may
Allah bless him and grant him peace, called for some water
and sprinkled over it but did not wash it.
Yahya related to me from Malik that Yahya ibn Said
said, "A Bedouin came into the mosque and uncovered his
private parts to urinate. The people called out to him and
began to raise their voices but the Messenger of Allah,
may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said ,'Let him
be. 'So they let him be and he urinated. Then the
Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him
peace, ordered a bucketful of water to be brought and it
was poured on the place."
Yahya related to mefrom Malikthat Abdullah ibn Dinar
said, "I saw Abdullah ibn Umar urinating while standing."
Yahya said that Malik was asked if any hadith had come
down about washing the private parts of urine and faeces
and he said, "I have heard that some of those who have
passed away used to wash themselves of faeces. I like to
wash my private parts of urine."
Yahya related to me from Malik from Ibn Shihab from Ibn
as-Sabbaq that the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him
and grant him peace, said in a jumua, "Muslims! Allah has
made this day a festival day (id) so do ghusl, and it will
not harm whoever has perfume to apply some of it, and use
a tooth-stick . "
Yahya related to me from Malik from Abu'z Zinad from
al-Araj from Abu Hurayra that the Messenger of Allah, may
Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, "Were it not
that I would be overburdening my community I would have
ordered them to use a tooth-stick."
Yahya related to me from Malik from Ibn Shihab from
Humayd ibn Abdar-Rahman ibn Awf that Abu Hurayra said,
"Were it not that he would be overburdening his community
he (the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant
him peace,) would have ordered them to use a tooth-stick
with each wudu."
