Hadith 374
حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ يَحْيَى التَّمِيمِيُّ ، وَأَبُو الرَّبِيعِ الزَّهْرَانِيُّ ، قَالَ يَحْيَى : أَخْبَرَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ زَيْدٍ ، وَقَالَ أَبُو الرَّبِيعِ : حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادٌ ، عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ دِينَارٍ ، عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ الْحُوَيْرِثِ ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ : " أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، خَرَجَ مِنَ الْخَلَاءِ ، فَأُتِيَ بِطَعَامٍ ، فَذَكَرُوا لَهُ الْوُضُوءَ ، فَقَالَ : أُرِيدُ أَنْ أُصَلِّيَ ، فَأَتَوَضَّأَ ؟ " .
Ibn 'Abbas reported: The Apostle of Allah (ﷺ) came out of the privy, and he was presented with some food, and the people reminded him about ablution, but he said: Am I to say prayer that I should perform ablution?

وحَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ ، حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ بْنُ عُيَيْنَةَ ، عَنْ عَمْرٍو ، عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ الْحُوَيْرِثِ ، سَمِعْتُ ابْنَ عَبَّاسٍ ، يَقُولُ : " كُنَّا عِنْدَ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، فَجَاءَ مِنَ الْغَائِطِ ، وَأُتِيَ بِطَعَامٍ ، فَقِيلَ لَهُ : أَلَا تَوَضَّأُ ؟ فَقَالَ : لِمَ أَأُصَلِّي ، فَأَتَوَضَّأَ ؟ " .
Ibn 'Abbas reported: We were with the Apostle of Allah (ﷺ) and he had come out of the privy. Food was presented to him. It was said to him (by the Companions around him): Wouldn't you perform ablution? Upon this he said: Why, am I to say prayer that I should perform ablution?

حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ يَحْيَى ، أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ مُسْلِمٍ الطَّائِفِيُّ ، عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ دِينَارٍ ، عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ الْحُوَيْرِثِ مَوْلَى آلِ السَّائِبِ ، أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ عَبْدَ اللَّهِ بْنَ عَبَّاسٍ ، قَالَ : " ذَهَبَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِلَى الْغَائِطِ ، فَلَمَّا جَاءَ ، قُدِّمَ لَهُ طَعَامٌ ، فَقِيلَ : يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ، أَلَا تَوَضَّأُ ؟ قَالَ : لِمَ أَلِلصَّلَاةِ ؟ " .

In another narration transmitted by Sa'id bin al-Huwairith it is like this: It was said to the Apostle of Allah (ﷺ) : You have not performed ablution.

Shaykh Muhammad Farooq Rafi
Benefits:
➊ There is consensus among the scholars on this issue that for a person without ablution (wudu), it is permissible to eat, drink, remember Allah (dhikr), recite the Qur'an, and engage in marital relations (jimaa’), and performing any of these acts without ritual purity is not disliked (makruh). [نووي: 68/4]
➋ Performing ablution (wudu) after eating or drinking is neither obligatory nor recommended (mustahabb). Similarly, after one's ablution is nullified, it is not necessary to immediately perform ablution again; rather, ablution is a condition for the validity of prayer (salah), and performing ablution is obligatory (fard) for the performance of prayer.
