Hadith 175
اُردوEn
حَدَّثَنَا حَيْوَةُ بْنُ شُرَيْحٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا بَقِيَّةُ ، عَنْ بُجَيْرٍ هُوَ ابْنُ سَعْدٍ ، عَنْ خَالِدٍ ، عَنْ بَعْضِ أَصْحَابِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، " أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ رَأَى رَجُلًا يُصَلِّ وَفِي ظَهْرِ قَدَمِهِ لُمْعَةٌ قَدْرُ الدِّرْهَمِ لَمْ يُصِبْهَا الْمَاءُ ، فَأَمَرَهُ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَنْ يُعِيدَ الْوُضُوءَ وَالصَّلَاةَ ".
Narrated Some Companions of the Prophet: The Prophet ﷺ saw a person offering prayer, and on the back of his foot a small part equal to the space of a dirham remained unwashed; the water did not reach it. The Prophet ﷺ commanded him to repeat the ablution and prayer.
Explanation & Benefits
Shaykh Umar Farooq Saeedi
Benefits and Issues:
➊ It is understood that continuity (tasalsul) is obligatory in ablution (wudu).
➋ If a person does not maintain continuity and, after washing some limbs, gets up such that the previously washed limbs become dry, then he should perform ablution again.
➌ If even a small area remains dry, the ablution is not valid, and consequently, the prayer will also not be valid.
