﴿ قُلۡ أَرَءَيۡتُم مَّآ أَنزَلَ ٱللَّهُ لَكُم مِّن رِّزۡقٖ فَجَعَلۡتُم مِّنۡهُ حَرَامٗا وَحَلَٰلٗا قُلۡ ءَآللَّهُ أَذِنَ لَكُمۡۖ أَمۡ عَلَى ٱللَّهِ تَفۡتَرُونَ ﴾

‘Abdullāh ibn ‘Abbās (may Allah be pleased with him) reported: One of the Prophet's wives bathed with water placed in a large bowl. Then, the Prophet went to use this water in making ablution or taking a ritual bath, so she said to him: "O Messenger of Allah, I was in a state of Janābah." So the Messenger of Allah (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Water is not affected by Janābah."

Narrated by Ibn Majah - Narrated by At-Termedhy - Narrated by Abu Daoud

One of the Prophet's wives took a ritual bath with water placed in a large bowl. Then, the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) went to make ablution or take a ritual bath with the water left over from his wife's bathing. She told him that she was in a state of Janābah when she used that water, so he instructed her that water is not affected by that, and that it retains its characteristics of being pure in itself and purifying of what is washed with it.

Abu As-Samh reported: I used to serve the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) and whenever he wanted to take a bath, he would say: "Turn the other way." So I would turn my back and screen him with it. Al-Hasan or Al-Husayn was brought to him once, and (the infant) urinated on his chest. When I wanted to wash it, the Messenger of Allah (may Allah’s peace and blessings be upon him) said: "The urine of a girl should be washed, but the urine of a boy should be splashed with water."

Narrated by Ibn Majah - An-Nasaa’i - Narrated by Abu Daoud

Abu As-Samh (may Allah be pleased with him) mentioned that he used to serve the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) and that whenever he wanted to take a bath, he would ask Abu As-Samh to turn his back. So he would turn his back towards the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) screening him with his body so that neither him nor others could see the Messenger of Allah (may Allah’s peace and blessings be upon him). Then he mentioned an incident that took place while he was with the Prophet (may Allah’s peace and blessings be upon him). Abu As-Samh brought Al-Hasan or Al-Husayn to the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) and the boy (who was still infant) urinated on his chest. When Abu As-Samh wanted to wash it, the Messenger of Allah (may Allah’s peace and blessings be upon him) explained to him that splashing water over the urine of the baby boy (male infant) who is not yet eating food is sufficient to purify it, but the urine of a girl must be washed even if she is still infant. The scholars have mentioned some reasons for this difference between the urine of the boy and that of the girl, including the following: 1. Usually, the male baby is carried a lot by both men and women, so washing his urine would be too difficult, so this concession was made. 2. Unlike the urine of the girl, the urine of a boy spatters over here and there, so it is extremely difficult to thoroughly wash it. 3. The urine of the female is more putrid than the urine of the nursing boy. The reason for that is that the temperature of the urine from the male is hotter, with less stench. High temperature makes the smell of urine mild and removes what might happen with humidity.

Asmā' (may Allah be pleased with her) reported: A woman came to the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) and said: "If anyone of us gets menses in her garment, what should she do?" He replied: "She should scrape it, rub it with water, and wash it, and then she may pray in it."

Narrated by Bukhari & Muslim

Asmā' (may Allah be pleased with her) reported that the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) was asked about menstrual blood soiling a woman's dress, and he explained how to remove it. He said that a woman should first scrape the affected area to remove the substance of blood. Then she should rub it with her fingertips to wash out the soaked blood. After that, she should wash it to remove the remaining traces of blood. This order should be observed, for this is the best way for removing a dry impurity. After doing this, a woman may pray in such garment. Trying to remove it the opposite way would spread the impurity.

Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) reported: Khawlah bint Yasār (may Allah be pleased with her) came to the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) and said: "O Messenger of Allah, I have only one dress and I menstruate in it. What should I do?" He said: "When you are purified, wash it and pray in it." She asked: "What if the blood is not removed?" He said: "It is enough for you to wash the blood, and there is nothing wrong with its mark."

Narrated by Abu Daoud - Narrated by Ahmad

Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) reported that Khawlah bint Yasār (may Allah be pleased with her) came to the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessing be upon him) and complained to him that she had only one dress, which would be tainted with menstrual blood during her period. She asked about what she should do. The Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) ordered her to wash it with water when she got purified and then pray in it. She mentioned, however, that traces of blood might remain on the dress after rubbing and washing it well, as related in other narrations of the Hadīth. In response, the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) explained to her that water is enough for purifying the dress and the remaining trace is harmless, after a person tries his best to wash it.

‘Abd Khayr reported: ‘Ali ibn Abi Tālib (may Allah be pleased with him) came to us after he had prayed. He asked for water and we said: "What is he going to do with the water as he has (already) prayed? He only wants to teach us." A container of water and a basin were brought to him. He poured some water onto his right hand and washed his hands three times. Then he rinsed his mouth and nose three times, using the hand with which he took the water. Then he washed his face three times and he washed his right arm three times and his left arm three times. Then he put his hand in the container and wiped his head once. Then he washed his right foot three times and his left foot three times. Then he said: 'Whoever wanted to learn how the Messenger of Allah (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) performed ablution, this is it.

Narrated by Ibn Majah - An-Nasaa’i - Narrated by Abu Daoud - Narrated by Ahmad

This Hadīth describes the ablution of the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him). ‘Abd Khayr related that ‘Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) went to them after he had prayed. He asked them for water to perform ablution. At first they were surprised by this, as he had already prayed, but then realized that he wanted to teach them how the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) used to perform ablution. They brought the water and he poured some of the water onto his right hand and washed both of his hands three times. He then he rinsed his mouth and washed his nose three times using the same hand that he had taken the water with. He then washed his face three times. The limits of the face are from the normal hair line at the top of the forehead to the end of the chin, including the upper part of the beard, and from one ear to the other. He then washed his right then left arm three times, including the elbows. He wiped over his head only once. Lastly, he washed his right and then left foot three times. He said that this was the way the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) performed ablution.

Laqīt ibn Sabrah (may Allah be pleased with him) reported: I was the leader of – or among – the delegation of Banu al-Muntafiq that came to the Messenger of Allah (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him). When we arrived, we did not find him in his house. We found ‘Ā’ishah, the Mother of the Believers, there. She ordered that a dish called Khazīrah be prepared for us – and it was. And a tray containing dates was presented to us. Then, the Messenger of Allah (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) came and asked: "Has anything been served to you or ordered for you?" We replied: "Yes, O Messenger of Allah," while we were sitting in the Prophet’s company, a shepherd suddenly drove his herd of sheep to their fold. He had with him a newly-born lamb that was crying. The Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) asked him: "What did it bear, O so and so?" He replied: "An ewe." He said: "Slaughter for us a sheep in place of it." Then, he said: "Do not think that we are slaughtering it for you. We have one hundred sheep and we do not want their number to increase. So, whenever an ewe is born, we slaughter a sheep in its place." I said: "O Messenger of Allah, I have a wife who has something (wrong) in her tongue, i.e. she is foul-mouthed." He said: "Then divorce her." I said: "O Messenger of Allah, we have been together for long and I have children from her." He said: "Then, advise her. If there is goodness in her, she will comply. And do not beat your wife as you beat your slave girl." I said: "O Messenger of Allah, tell me something about ablution." He said: "Perform ablution thoroughly, pass your fingers through each other, and snuff water well into your nostrils unless you are fasting."

In this Hadīth, Laqīt ibn Sabrah (may Allah be pleased with him) relates that he was his people’s chief delegate to the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him). Delegations would usually ask him about matters they found worrisome and confusing. ‘Ā'ishah (may Allah be pleased with her) served them some soup and dates. Then, they saw a shepherd with a newly-born ewe. The Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) ordered him to slaughter a sheep, as he made clear to the delegation that he would not slaughter it specifically for them, lest it might be thought that he went too far and overburdened himself in hosting them. Among other questions, Laqīt (may Allah be pleased with him) asked the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) about how to deal with his impudent wife. He instructed him to give her advice, to which she would listen if she were a good person at all; otherwise, he should divorce her. He also enjoined him not to beat his wife as a slave girl would be beaten. Then, Laqīt asked the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) about ablution and he informed him that it is a duty to perform ablution properly and completely; in other words, each organ should be washed or wiped over duly. He also pointed out the desirability of performing Takhlīl (passing the fingers of one hand through the fingers of the other), which ensures that water reaches all organs designated for ablution. In case the water does not reach between the fingers without Takhlīl, Takhlīl becomes an obligatory element of ablution. In addition, the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) recommended snuffing water strongly, unless one is fasting, lest water may reach down his throat. That strong snuffing is only recommended for a non-fasting person is a proof of it being Sunnah, not an obligation.

Hassān ibn Bilāl reported: I saw ‘Ammār ibn Yāsir perform ablution, and he ran his fingers through his beard. It was said to him (or he said: "I said to him"): "Do you run your fingers through your beard?" He replied: "What is there to prevent me if I have seen the Messenger of Allah (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) run his fingers through his beard?"

Narrated by Ibn Majah - Narrated by At-Termedhy

Hassān ibn Bilāl informs us that he saw ‘Ammār ibn Yāsir run his fingers through his beard while performing ablution. He asked him about it because it surprised him as he had not known about it before seeing ‘Ammār ibn Yāsir do this. "What is there to prevent me if I have seen the Messenger of Allah (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) run his fingers through his beard?" ‘Ammār (may Allah be pleased with him) replied by saying that nothing prevented him from doing so as he had seen the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) himself do it. Takhlīl al-Lilyah (running your fingers through your beard) can be performed in two ways: 1. Taking a handful of water, placing it under your beard, and then rubbing it so that the water goes through it. 2. Taking a handful of water and running your fingers through your beard like a comb.

‘Abdullāh ibn Zayd reported that two-thirds of a Mudd were brought to the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) and he began rubbing his arm.

Ibn Khuzaymah - Narrated by Ahmad

In this Hadīth ‘Abdullāh ibn Zayd (may Allah be pleased with him) informs us about the amount of water used by the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) for ablution, which is two-thirds of a Mudd. This quantity of water is enough for ablution without wasting. The Hadīth also tells us that the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) began to rub his arm, so as to let water reach the washed limb completely.

Thawbān (may Allah be pleased with him) reported: The Messenger of Allah (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) dispatched an expedition, but they came across cold weather. When they returned to the Messenger of Allah (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) he ordered them to wipe over their turbans and socks.

Narrated by Abu Daoud - Narrated by Ahmad

Thawbān (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) dispatched a group of his Companions to face the non-believers. While they were marching, the cold weather made it difficult for them to remove their turbans and socks. When they returned to Madīnah, they related this to the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) who permitted them to wipe over their turbans and socks, regardless of whether they were made from leather, wool, or cloth, as a facilitation and lightening of their burden. This practice is observed equally for residents and travelers, with an excuse or without any.

Anas ibn Mālik (may Allah be pleased with him) reported that during the Prophet's lifetime, the Companions used to wait for the ‘Ishā' prayer so much so their heads were lowered down (by dozing). They would then pray without performing (a new) ablution.
