Hadith 80
اُردوEn
أَخْبَرَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ الْحَارِثِ، عَنْ يُونُسَ الَأَيْلِيِّ، فِيمَا قَرَأَ عَلَيْهِ، عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ، قَالَ: أَخْبَرَنِي أَبُو إِدْرِيسَ الْخَوْلَانِي، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ، عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: ((مَنْ تَوَضَّأَ فَلْيَسْتَنْثِرْ وَمَنِ اسْتَجْمَرَ فَلْيُوتِرْ)).
Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrated from the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), he (peace be upon him) said: "When any one of you performs ablution, let him rinse his nose, and when he uses stones (for istinja), let him use an odd number."
Explanation & Benefits
Hafiz Abdush Shakoor Tirmidhi
Benefits:
➊ From the mentioned hadith, it is understood that merely putting water into the nose is not sufficient; rather, it is also necessary to blow the nose and clean it thoroughly.
➋ ... Performing istinja (cleansing oneself after relieving oneself) is a Sunnah act.
➌ ... Performing istinja with lumps of earth or similar materials is also permissible.
➍ ... For istinja, lumps of earth should be used in odd numbers.
➎ ... The Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) commanded performing istinja with three lumps of earth. (See: Sunan Abu Dawud, Hadith no. 6)
➏ ... If there is a need to use more than three lumps, then one should still observe the odd number, as is clear from the mentioned hadith.
