Hadith 107
اُردوEn
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْمُثَنَّى ، حَدَّثَنَا الضَّحَّاكُ بْنُ مَخْلَدٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ وَرْدَانَ ، حَدَّثَنِي أَبُو سَلَمَةَ بْنُ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ ، حَدَّثَنِي حُمْرَانُ ، قَالَ : رَأَيْتُ عُثْمَانَ بْنَ عَفَّانَ تَوَضَّأَ ، فَذَكَرَ نَحْوَهُ ، وَلَمْ يَذْكُرِ الْمَضْمَضَةَ وَالِاسْتِنْشَاقَ ، وَقَالَ فِيهِ : وَمَسَحَ رَأْسَهُ ثَلَاثًا ، ثُمَّ غَسَلَ رِجْلَيْهِ ثَلَاثًا ، ثُمَّ قَالَ : رَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ تَوَضَّأَ هَكَذَا ، وَقَالَ : مَنْ تَوَضَّأَ دُونَ هَذَا كَفَاهُ ، وَلَمْ يَذْكُرْ أَمْرَ الصَّلَاةِ .
Humran said: I saw Uthman bin Affan performing ablution. He then narrated the same tradition. In this version there is no mention of rinsing the mouth and snuffing up water. This traditions adds: “He wiped his head three times. He then washed his feet three times. He then said: I saw the Messenger of Allah ﷺ performing ablution in like manner. He (the Prophet) said: He who performs ablution less than this, it is sufficient for him. 73The narrator did not mention prayer (in this version).
Explanation & Benefits
Hafiz Zubair Ali Zai
How many times should the head be wiped (masah)?
Then wipe (masah) the entire head. [البخاري: 159 ومسلم: 226]
Wipe with both hands. Begin from the start of the head, move to the back of the neck, and then return to the starting point. [البخاري: 185 ومسلم:235]
Wipe the head once. [سنن ابي داود: 111 وسنده صحيح]
Note: In some narrations, wiping the head three times is also mentioned. See: [سنن ابي داود: 107 وسنده حسن، 110 وسنده حسن]
Therefore, both ways of practice are permissible.
