Explanation & Benefits
Shaykh Muhammad Ibrahim bin Basheer
Benefit: As mentioned earlier: 996, in this hadith there is «اولاهن» or «احدهن », and in some versions there are the words «اخراهن », meaning whether the washing with earth (soil) should be done the first time or the last time—there is a difference of opinion regarding this, but the hadith scholars have given preference to performing it the first time.
