كتاب الطهارةPurity

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 said that he heard Malik say that there was no harm in

washing the mouth and cleaning the nose with only one handful of

water.

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."

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."

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 that he had heard that Ali ibn Abi

Talib and Abdullah ibn Abbas did not do wudu after eating cooked food.

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?"

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 from Nafi that Abdullah ibn Umar

used two fingers to take water to his ears.

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 Hisham ibn Urwa that Abu Urwa

ibn az-Zubayr used to take off his turban and wipe his head 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.

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.' "

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 to me from Malik from Nafi that Abdullah ibn Umar

used to say, "If you touch your penis you have to do wudu."

Yahya related to me from Malik from Hisham ibn Urwa that his

father used to say, "If any of you touches his penis he has to do

wudu."

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.' "

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 he had heard that Abdullah

ibn Masud used to say, "Wudu is necessary if a man kisses his wife."

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."

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."

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."

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.

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."

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 Abdullah ibn Umar

used to sweat in a garment while he was junub and then pray with it

on.

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."

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."

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 that he asked Ibn Shihab about a

pregnant woman who noticed bleeding. Ibn Shihab replied, "She refrains

from prayer."

Yahya said that Malik said, "That is what is

done in our community."

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."
