اُردوEn
عَنْ عَائِشَةَ أُمِّ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهَا أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ بَالَ فَقَامَ عُمَرُ خَلْفَهُ بِكُوزٍ، فَقَالَ: ((مَا هَذَا يَا عُمَرُ؟)) قَالَ: مَاءٌ تَوَضَّأْ بِهِ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ، قَالَ: ((مَا أُمِرْتُ كُلَّمَا بُلْتُ أَنْ أَتَوَضَّأَ، وَلَوْ فَعَلْتُ ذَلِكَ كَانَتْ سُنَّةً))
It is narrated from Umm al-Mu’minin Sayyida Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) was urinating, and Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) stood behind him with a vessel. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) asked: “Umar! What is this?” He replied: “O Messenger of Allah! It is water, so that you may perform ablution with it.” But the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: “I have not been commanded that I must perform ablution every time I urinate, and if I do so, it will become a practice to be followed.”
Brief Explanation
Benefits: … However, it is correct that the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam did not make it a point to remain in a state of ablution (wudu) at all times, as is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah ibn Abbas radi Allahu anhu that the Messenger of Allah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam came out from the toilet and food was presented to him. The people said, “Shall we bring water for ablution?” The Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam replied: ((I have only been commanded to perform ablution when I stand for prayer.)) … I have only been commanded to perform ablution when I intend to perform the prayer.
