مُعَاذَةُ الْعَدَوِيَّةُ ، عَنْ
عَائِشَةَ ، قَالَتْ :
" مُرْنَ أَزْوَاجَكُنَّ أَنْ يَغْسِلُوا عَنْهُمْ أَثَرَ الْخَلَاءِ وَالْبَوْلِ ، فَإِنِّي أَسْتَحِي أَنْ آمُرَهُمْ بِذَلِكَ ، إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ كَانَ يَفْعَلُهُ " .
It is narrated from Hazrat Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) that some women from Basra came to her, so she instructed them to perform istinja (cleaning) with water and said, "Order your husbands to do the same. I feel shy to say this to them, because the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) used to perform istinja only with water."
