Hadith 7382

عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُمَا يَقُولُ كُنَّا عِنْدَ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَأَتَى الْغَائِطَ ثُمَّ خَرَجَ فَدَعَا بِالطَّعَامِ وَقَالَ مَرَّةً فَأُتِيَ بِالطَّعَامِ فَقِيلَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَلَا تَوَضَّأُ قَالَ لَمْ أُصَلِّ فَأَتَوَضَّأَ وَفِي لَفْظٍ فَقَالَ إِنَّمَا أُمِرْتُ بِالْوُضُوءِ إِذَا قُمْتُ إِلَى الصَّلَاةِ
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both), he says: We were with the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), he went to the place of relieving himself and after relieving himself, he came out. Food was brought for him. Someone said: O Messenger of Allah! Will you not perform ablution? The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: I do not have to pray now that I should perform ablution. I have only been commanded to perform ablution when I have to pray.
