حَدَّثَنَا

وَعَمْرُو بْنُ عُثْمَانَ الْحِمْصِيُّ المعنى ،
وَأَيُّوبُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ الرَّقِّيُّ ، قَالُوا : حَدَّثَنَا

عَطَاءِ بْنِ يَزِيدَ اللَّيْثِيِّ ، قَالَ هِلَالٌ : لَا أَعْلَمُهُ إِلَّا عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ ، وَقَالَ أَيُّوبُ وَعَمْرٌو أراه عَنْ
أَبِي سَعِيدٍ ، " أَنّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ مَرَّ بِغُلَامٍ وَهُوَ يَسْلُخُ شَاةً ، فَقَالَ لَهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : تَنَحَّ حَتَّى أُرِيَكَ ، فَأَدْخَلَ يَدَهُ بَيْنَ الْجِلْدِ وَاللَّحْمِ فَدَحَسَ بِهَا حَتَّى تَوَارَتْ إِلَى الْإِبْطِ ، ثُمَّ مَضَى فَصَلَّى لِلنَّاسِ وَلَمْ يَتَوَضَّأْ " ، قَالَ أَبُو دَاوُد : زَادَ عَمْرٌو فِي حَدِيثِهِ يَعْنِي لَمْ يَمَسَّ مَاءً ، وَقَالَ : عَنْ هِلَالِ بْنِ مَيْمُونٍ الرَّمْلِيِّ ، قَالَ أَبُو دَاوُد : وَرَوَاهُ عَبْدُ الْوَاحِدِ بْنُ زِيَادٍ ، وَأَبُو مُعَاوِيَةَ ، عَنْ هِلَالٍ ، عَنْ عَطَاءٍ ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، مُرْسَلًا ، لَمْ يَذْكُرْا أَبَا سَعِيدٍ .
Narrated Abu Saeed al-Khudri: The Prophet ﷺ passed by a boy who was skinning a goat. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: Give it up until I show you. He (the Prophet) inserted his hand between the skin and the flesh until it reached the armpit. He then went away and led the people in prayer and he did not perform ablution. The version of Amr added that he did not touch water. Abu Dawud said: This tradition has been narrated though another chain of transmitters, making no mention of Abu Saeed.

Explanation & Benefits
Shaykh Umar Farooq Saeedi
Benefits and Issues:
➊ The Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) says that I have been sent as a “teacher.” One aspect of your (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) teaching, as mentioned above, is that work should be carried out in an excellent and beautiful manner.
➋ The greasiness of fat, the particular smell of meat, and its blood coming into contact do not affect purity (taharah) in any way.
➌ A person should not become overly delicate and sensitive to the extent that such tasks necessitate ritual bath (ghusl) or changing clothes. Rather, in daily life, one should adopt simplicity instead of unnecessary formalities.

Benefits and Issues:
➊ Presenting a practical example is the best method for teaching any task.
➋ If a beginner is not performing a task properly, elders should not scold or rebuke him; rather, they should demonstrate the task themselves and provide appropriate guidance.
➌ Removing the skin or cutting the meat does not break ablution (wudu).
➍ If, while going to prayer, a small task is performed along the way that does not cause a delay in the prayer, there is no harm in it.
