Hadith 170
اُردوEn
حَدَّثَنَا الْحُسَيْنُ بْنُ عِيسَى ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ يَزِيدَ الْمُقْرِئُ ، عَنْ حَيْوَةَ وَهُوَ ابْنُ شُرَيْحٍ ، عَنْ أَبِي عَقِيلٍ ، عَنْ ابْنِ عَمِّهِ ، عَنْ عُقْبَةَ بْنِ عَامِرٍ الْجُهَنِيِّ ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، نَحْوَهُ . وَلَمْ يَذْكُرْ أَمْرَ الرِّعَايَةِ ، قَالَ : عِنْدَ قَوْلِهِ : فَأَحْسَنَ الْوُضُوءَ ، ثُمَّ رَفَعَ بَصَرَهُ إِلَى السَّمَاءِ ، فَقَالَ : وَسَاقَ الْحَدِيثَ بِمَعْنَى حَدِيثِ مُعَاوِيَةَ .
Uqbah bin Amir al-JuhanI narrated this tradition from the Prophet ﷺ in a similar way. He did not mention about tending the camels. After the words “and he performed ablution well” he added the words: “he then raises his eyes towards the sky”. He transmitted the tradition conveying the same meaning as that of Muawiyah.
Explanation & Benefits
Shaykh Umar Farooq Saeedi
Benefits and Issues:
➊ This narration is weak; therefore, it is not correct to raise one's gaze towards the sky or to raise a finger while reciting the supplication after ablution (wudu).
➋ And Paradise has eight gates, whereas Hell has seven.
