Narrated Anas bin Malik

Narrated Anas bin Malik (May Allah be pleased with him): A Bedouin came and urinated in one corner of the mosque and the people shouted at him, but Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) stopped them, and when he finished urinating, the Prophet (ﷺ) ordered for a bucket of water which was spilt over it [Agreed upon].

وَعَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ ‏- رضى الله عنه ‏- قَالَ: { جَاءَ أَعْرَابِيٌّ فَبَالَ فِي طَائِفَةِ اَلْمَسْجِدِ, فَزَجَرَهُ اَلنَّاسُ, فَنَهَاهُمْ اَلنَّبِيُّ ‏- صلى الله عليه وسلم ‏-فَلَمَّا قَضَى بَوْلَهُ أَمَرَ اَلنَّبِيُّ ‏- صلى الله عليه وسلم ‏-بِذَنُوبٍ مِنْ مَاءٍ; فَأُهْرِيقَ عَلَيْهِ.‏ } مُتَّفَقٌ عَلَيْهِ 1‏ .‏

Narrated Maimuna (Radhi Allahu Anhu)

And in the last of this version: “I handed him a piece of cloth, but he did not take it... He started shaking the water off his hand.”

Bulugh al-Maram 121

Narrated Umm Salamah (RAA)

I said, "O Messenger of Allah , I am a woman who keeps her hair closely plaited. Do I have to undo them for Ghusl after sexual intercourse?" In another narration, "and after the end of menses?" He replied (ﷺ), "No, is it enough for you to throw three handfuls of water over your head." Related by Muslim.

وَعَنْ أُمِّ سَلَمَةَ رَضِيَ اَللَّهُ عَنْهَا قَالَتْ: { قُلْتُ: يَا رَسُولَ اَللَّهِ إِنِّي اِمْرَأَةٌ أَشُدُّ شَعْرَ رَأْسِي, أَفَأَنْقُضُهُ لِغُسْلِ اَلْجَنَابَةِ? وَفِي رِوَايَةٍ: وَالْحَيْضَةِ? فَقَالَ: "لَا, إِنَّمَا يَكْفِيكِ أَنْ تَحْثِي عَلَى رَأْسِكِ ثَلَاثَ حَثَيَاتٍ" } رَوَاهُ مُسْلِم ٌ 1‏ .‏

Bulugh al-Maram 122

Narrated `A'ishah (RAA)

Allah's messenger (ﷺ) said, "It is not permitted for a menstruating woman or one who is junub (sexually impure) to stay in the mosque." Related by Abu Dawud and Ibn Khuzaimah graded it as Sahih

وَعَنْ عَائِشَةَ رَضِيَ اَللَّهُ عَنْهَا قَالَتْ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اَللَّهِ ‏- صلى الله عليه وسلم ‏-{ إِنِّي لَا أُحِلُّ اَلْمَسْجِدَ لِحَائِضٍ وَلَا جُنُبٌ } رَوَاهُ أَبُو دَاوُدَ, وَصَحَّحَهُ اِبْنُ خُزَيْمَة َ 1‏ .‏

Bulugh al-Maram 123

Narrated `A'ishah (RAA)

I and Allah's Messenger ﷺ took a Ghusl (bath) due to sexual impurity from the same vessel and our hands alternated into it. [Agreed upon.] Ibn Hibban added "and (our hands) met."

وَعَنْهَا قَالَتْ: { كُنْتُ أَغْتَسِلُ أَنَا وَرَسُولُ اَللَّهِ ‏- صلى الله عليه وسلم ‏-مِنْ إِنَاءٍ وَاحِدٍ, تَخْتَلِفُ أَيْدِينَا فِيهِ مِنَ اَلْجَنَابَةِ } مُتَّفَقٌ عَلَيْه ِ 1‏ .‏ زَادَ اِبْنُ حِبَّانَ: وَتَلْتَقِ ي 2‏ .‏

Bulugh al-Maram 124

Narrated Abu Hurairah (RAA)

Allah's Messenger ﷺ said, "There is Janabah (trace of sexual impurity) under every hair, so wash your hair and cleanse the skin." Abu Dawud and at-Tirmidhi transmitted it but they declared it to be weak.

وَعَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ ‏- رضى الله عنه ‏- قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اَللَّهِ ‏- صلى الله عليه وسلم ‏-{ إِنَّ تَحْتَ كُلِّ شَعْرَةٍ جَنَابَةً, فَاغْسِلُوا اَلشَّعْرَ, وَأَنْقُوا اَلْبَشَرَ } رَوَاهُ أَبُو دَاوُدَ, وَاَلتِّرْمِذِيُّ وَضَعَّفَاه ُ 1‏ .‏

Bulugh al-Maram 125

Ahmad transmitted a similar narration to the above, on the authority of `A'ishah (RAA), but this version has an unknown transmitter.

وَلِأَحْمَدَ عَنْ عَائِشَةَ نَحْوُهُ, وَفِيهِ رَاوٍ مَجْهُول ٌ 1‏ .‏

Chapter 9: Dry Ablution (at-Tayammum)

باب التيمم

Bulugh al-Maram 126

Narrated Jabir bin 'Abdullah (RAA)

The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "I have been given five things which were not given to anyone else before me. Allah made me victorious by awe (of frightening my enemies) for a distance of one month's journey. The earth has been made for me (and my followers) a place for praying and something with which to perform Tayammum (to purify oneself for prayer). Therefore, anyone (of my followers) can pray (anywhere) and at any time that the Salat (prayer) is due."

عَنْ جَابِرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ رَضِيَ اَللَّهُ عَنْهُمَا; أَنَّ اَلنَّبِيَّ ‏- صلى الله عليه وسلم ‏-قَالَ: { أُعْطِيتُ خَمْسًا لَمْ يُعْطَهُنَّ أَحَدٌ قَبْلِي: نُصِرْتُ بِالرُّعْبِ مَسِيرَةَ شَهْرٍ, وَجُعِلَتْ لِي اَلْأَرْضُ مَسْجِدًا وَطَهُورًا, فَأَيُّمَا رَجُلٍ أَدْرَكَتْهُ اَلصَّلَاةُ فَلْيُصَلِّ } وَذَكَرَ اَلْحَدِيث َ 1‏ .‏

Bulugh al-Maram 127

In another narration by Hudhaifah (RAA)

"And the soil of the earth had been made for us as a means with which to purify ourselves (for prayer), when we cannot find water." Related by Muslim.

وَفِي حَدِيثِ حُذَيْفَةَ عِنْدَ مُسْلِمٍ: { وَجُعِلَتْ تُرْبَتُهَا لَنَا طَهُورًا, إِذَا لَمْ نَجِدِ اَلْمَاءَ } 1‏ .‏

Bulugh al-Maram 128

Ahmad transmitted on the authority of `Ali (RAA)

"The earth (dust) has been made for me as a means for purification."

وَعَنْ عَلِيٍّ ‏- رضى الله عنه ‏- عِنْدَ أَحْمَدَ: { وَجُعِلَ اَلتُّرَابُ لِي طَهُورًا } 1‏ .‏

Bulugh al-Maram 129

Narrated `Ammar bin Yasir (RAA)

The Prophet (ﷺ) sent me on some errands and I became junub (sexually impure), and could not find water. I rolled myself in the dirt just as an animal does. I then came to the Prophet (ﷺ) and mentioned that to him. He said, "This would have been enough for you," and he struck the earth with his hands once, then he wiped the right hand with the left one, and the outside of the palms of his hands and his face. [Agreed upon. The wording is that of Muslim's].

وَعَنْ عَمَّارِ بْنِ يَاسِرٍ رَضِيَ اَللَّهُ عَنْهُمَا قَالَ: { بَعَثَنِي اَلنَّبِيُّ ‏- صلى الله عليه وسلم ‏-فِي حَاجَةٍ, فَأَجْنَبْتُ, فَلَمْ أَجِدِ اَلْمَاءَ, فَتَمَرَّغْتُ فِي اَلصَّعِيدِ كَمَا تَمَرَّغُ اَلدَّابَّةُ, ثُمَّ أَتَيْتُ اَلنَّبِيَّ ‏- صلى الله عليه وسلم ‏-فَذَكَرْتُ ذَلِكَ لَهُ, فَقَالَ: "إِنَّمَا كَانَ يَكْفِيكَ أَنْ تَقُولَ بِيَدَيْكَ هَكَذَا" ثُمَّ ضَرَبَ بِيَدَيْهِ اَلْأَرْضَ ضَرْبَةً وَاحِدَةً, ثُمَّ مَسَحَ اَلشِّمَالَ عَلَى اَلْيَمِينِ, وَظَاهِرَ كَفَّيْهِ وَوَجْهَهُ } مُتَّفَقٌ عَلَيْهِ, وَاللَّفْظُ لِمُسْلِم ٍ 1‏ .‏

Bulugh al-Maram 129

In a version by Al-Bukhari, `Ammar said

'He (ﷺ) struck the earth with the palms of his hands, blew in them and wiped his face and hands with them.

وَفِي رِوَايَةٍ لِلْبُخَارِيِّ: وَضَرَبَ بِكَفَّيْهِ اَلْأَرْضَ, وَنَفَخَ فِيهِمَا, ثُمَّ مَسَحَ بِهِمَا وَجْهَهُ وَكَفَّيْه ِ 1‏ .‏
