Hadith 503

حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ ، وَزُهَيْرُ بْنُ حَرْبٍ جميعا ، عَنْ وَكِيعٍ ، قَالَ زُهَيْرٌ ، حَدَّثَنَا وَكِيعٌ ، حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ ، حَدَّثَنَا عَوْنُ بْنُ أَبِي جُحَيْفَةَ ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ ، قَالَ : " أَتَيْتُ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بِمَكَّةَ وَهُوَ بِالأَبْطَحِ ، فِي قُبَّةٍ لَهُ حَمْرَاءَ مِنْ أَدَمٍ ، قَالَ : فَخَرَجَ بِلَالٌ بِوَضُوئِهِ ، فَمِنْ نَائِلٍ وَنَاضِحٍ ، قَالَ : فَخَرَجَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، عَلَيْهِ حُلَّةٌ حَمْرَاءُ ، كَأَنِّي أَنْظُرُ إِلَى بَيَاضِ سَاقَيْهِ ، قَالَ : فَتَوَضَّأَ وَأَذَّنَ بِلَالٌ ، قَالَ : فَجَعَلْتُ أَتَتَبَّعُ فَاهُ ، هَا هُنَا ، وَهَهُنَا ، يَقُولُ : يَمِينًا وَشِمَالًا ، يَقُولُ : حَيَّ عَلَى الصَّلَاةِ ، حَيَّ عَلَى الْفَلَاحِ ، قَالَ : ثُمَّ رُكِزَتْ لَهُ عَنَزَةٌ ، فَتَقَدَّمَ ، فَصَلَّى الظُّهْرَ رَكْعَتَيْنِ ، يَمُرُّ بَيْنَ يَدَيْهِ الْحِمَارُ وَالْكَلْبُ ، لَا يُمْنَعُ ، ثُمَّ صَلَّى الْعَصْرَ رَكْعَتَيْنِ ، ثُمَّ لَمْ يَزَلْ يُصَلِّي رَكْعَتَيْنِ ، حَتَّى رَجَعَ إِلَى الْمَدِينَةِ " .
Abu Juhaifa reported it on the authority of his father: I came to the Apostle of Allah (ﷺ) in Makkah and he was (at that time) at al- Abtah in a red leather tent. And Bilal (RA) stepped out with ablution water for him. (And what was left out of that water) some of them got it (whereas others could not get it) and (those who got it) rubbed themselves with it. Then the Apostle of Allah (ﷺ) stepped out with a red mantle on him and I was catching a glimpse of the whiteness of his shanks. The narrator said: He (the Holy Prophet) performed the ablution. and Bilal (RA) pronounced Adhan and I followed his mouth (as he turned) this side and that as he said on the right and the left: "Come to prayer, come to success." ' A spear was then fixed for him (on the ground). He stepped forward and said two rak'ahs of Zuhr, while there passed in front of him a donkey and a dog, and these were not checked. He then said two rak'ahs of the 'Asr prayer, and he then continued saying two rak'ahs till he came back to Madinah.

Abu Juhaifa reported on the authority of his father: I saw the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) (in Makkah at al-Abtah) in a red leather tent. and I saw Bilal (RA) take the ablution water (left by Allah's Messenger), and I saw the people racing, with one another to get that ablution water. If anyone got some of it, he rubbed himself with it, and anyone who did not get any got some of the moisture from his companion's hand. I then saw Bilal (RA) take a staff and fix it in the ground, after which the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) came out quickly in a red mantle and led the people in two rak'ahs facing the staff, and I saw people and animals passing in front of the staff.

حَدَّثَنِي إِسْحَاق بْنُ مَنْصُورٍ ، وَعَبْدُ بْنُ حُمَيْدٍ ، قَالَا : أَخْبَرَنَا جَعْفَرُ بْنُ عَوْنٍ ، أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو عُمَيْسٍ ، قَالَ : ح وحَدَّثَنِي الْقَاسِمُ بْنُ زَكَرِيَّاءَ ، حَدَّثَنَا حُسَيْنُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ ، عَنْ زَائِدَةَ ، قَالَ : حَدَّثَنَا مَالِكُ بْنُ مِغْوَلٍ كِلَاهُمَا ، عَنْ عَوْنِ بْنِ أَبِي جُحَيْفَةَ ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، بِنَحْوِ حَدِيثِ سُفْيَانَ ، وَعُمَرَ بْنِ أَبِي زَائِدَةَ ، يَزِيدُ بَعْضُهُمْ عَلَى بَعْضٍ ، وَفِي حَدِيثِ مَالِكِ بْنِ مِغْوَلٍ : فَلَمَّا كَانَ بِالْهَاجِرَةِ ، خَرَجَ بِلَالٌ ، فَنَادَى بِالصَّلَاةِ .
'Aun bin Abu Juhaifa narrated from the Apostle of Allah (ﷺ) on the authority of his father a hadith like that of Sufyan, and 'Umar bin Abu Za'ida made this addition: Some of them tried to excel the others (in obtaining water), and in the hadith transmitted by Malik bin Mighwal (the words are): When it was noon, Bilal (RA) came out and summoned (people) to (noon) prayer.

Explanation & Benefits
Shaykh Maulana Abdul Aziz Alvi
Hadith Commentary:
Vocabulary of the Hadith:
(1)
NĀ’IL:
To take,
to receive,
from NĀLA,
YANĀLU;
NĀDIH:
To sprinkle, meaning some were directly taking water, and some were having water sprinkled on them by those who were taking it.
(2)
HULLAH HAMRĀ’:
A red suit,
one piece to tie as a lower garment (izār) and the other as an upper sheet (ridā’).

Benefits and Issues:
This hadith proves that the water used in ablution (wudu) is not impure, which is why the noble Companions (radi Allahu anhum ajma‘in) would rush towards the Prophet’s (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) ablution and try to outdo one another. The fact that the Companions (radi Allahu anhum ajma‘in) sought blessing (tabarruk) from the Prophet’s (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) ablution water cannot be used as evidence that seeking blessing from the relics of elders is permissible, because the Companions (radi Allahu anhum ajma‘in) did not do this for any other great personality besides the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam). Who could be a greater and more virtuous elder than the Rightly Guided Caliphs? Yet the Companions (radi Allahu anhum ajma‘in) did not seek blessing from their relics. And what is the ruling regarding the Prophet’s (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) bodily excretions? Now there is no need to discuss whether they were pure or impure, as this was an issue pertaining to the lifetime of the Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam). The Companions (radi Allahu anhum ajma‘in) would rush for his saliva and ablution water, but such an incident did not occur regarding urine, feces, or blood. The details have already been mentioned previously.

Bukhari — Hadith 3566
Narrated Abu Juhaifa: By chance I went to the Prophet at noon while he was at Al-Abtah (resting) in a tent. Bilal came out (of the tent) and pronounced the Adhan for the prayer, and entering again, he brought out the water which was left after Allah's Apostle had performed the ablution. The people rushed to take some of the water. Bilal again went in and brought out a spear-headed stick, and then Allah's Apostle came out. As if I were now looking at the whiteness of his leg. Bilal fixed the stick and the Prophet offered a two-rak`at Zuhr prayer and a two-rak`at `Asr prayer, while women and donkeys were passing in front of the Prophet (beyond the stick) .
Maulana Dawood Raz
Hadith Commentary:
A spear was fixed in front of him as a sutrah (barrier) for prayer.
The chapter heading is derived from this, indicating that his shins were extremely beautiful and radiant.

Shaykh Abdul Sattar al-Hammad
Hadith Commentary:
In this hadith, there is mention of the shins of the Messenger of Allah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, describing them as white and radiant.

Jabir bin Samurah radi Allahu anhu states that the shins of the Messenger of Allah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam were not excessively heavy or fleshy, but rather they were slender and well-shaped.
(al-Musannaf li-Ibn Abi Shaybah: 11/513)

Suraqah bin Malik radi Allahu anhu says:
The Messenger of Allah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam was riding a she-camel, and when I came close, I observed his shin, which in its whiteness and delicacy was like the inner pulp of a date cluster.
(Dala’il al-Nubuwwah: 1/207)

Abu Juhaifa reported: The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) went at noon towards al-Batha', he performed ablution, and said two rak'ahs of the Zuhr prayer and two of the 'Asr prayer, and there was a spear in front of him.

Benefits and Issues:
➊ It is established from this hadith that during travel, both prayers can be performed together.
(Jam‘ is also with advancing [taqdim]).

Nasai — Hadith 471
´It was narrated that Al-Hakam bin 'Utaibah said:` "I heard Abu Juhaifah say: 'The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) set off at midday, during the time of intense heat' - (One of the narrators) Ibn Al-Muthanna said, to Al-Batha' - and he performed Wudu', and prayed Zuhr, two Rak'ahs, and 'Asr, two Rak'ahs, with a short spear ('Anzah) in front of him.
Hafiz Muhammad Ameen
471. Commentary: A small spear (anazah) was fixed in front of you as a sutrah (barrier), therefore, whether in an open or enclosed place, having a sutrah is necessary.
