حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ ، حَدَّثَنَا شَرِيكٌ ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عِيسَى ، عَنْ مُوسَى بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ يَزِيدَ ، عَنْ امْرَأَةٍ مِنْ بَنِي عَبْدِ الْأَشْهَلِ ، قَالَتْ : سَأَلْتُ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، فَقُلْتُ : إِنَّ " بَيْنِي وَبَيْنَ الْمَسْجِدِ طَرِيقًا قَذِرَةً ؟ قَالَ : " فَبَعْدَهَا طَرِيقٌ أَنْظَفُ مِنْهَا " ، قُلْتُ : نَعَمْ ، قَالَ : " فَهَذِهِ بِهَذِهِ " .
´It was narrated that a woman from (the tribe of) Banu 'Abdul-Ashhal said:` "I said to the prophet: 'Between the mosque and I there is a filthy path.' He said: 'After that is there a cleaner path?' I said: 'Yes.' He said: 'This is (a remedy) for that.'"
Explanation & Benefits

Commentary:
(1)
If, after walking on impure ground, no perceptible impurity adheres to the feet, then by subsequently walking on clean ground, the feet become purified; washing them is not necessary.
This is also supported by the ruling regarding garments that drag on the ground (see the first hadith of this chapter).
(2)
There are no unnecessary strict restrictions in Islam.
This is a virtue of the religion of Islam—that it is a religion of ease.
(3)
One should make appropriate arrangements for cleanliness and purification (taharah), but should not go to such extremes that a person becomes afflicted with obsessive doubts.
