Chapter on concession for reciting the Qur'an without ablution
Muwatta Malik (Yahya) 470 — on concession for reciting the Qur'an
حَدَّثَنِي حَدَّثَنِي يَحْيَى ، عَنْ مَالِك ، عَنْ أَيُّوبَ بْنِ أَبِي تَمِيمَةَ السَّخْتِيَانِيِّ ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ سِيرِينَ ، أَنَّ عُمَرَ بْنَ الْخَطَّابِ كَانَ فِي قَوْمٍ وَهُمْ يَقْرَءُونَ الْقُرْآنَ ، فَذَهَبَ لِحَاجَتِهِ ثُمَّ رَجَعَ وَهُوَ يَقْرَأُ الْقُرْآنَ ، فَقَالَ لَهُ رَجُلٌ : يَا أَمِيرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ أَتَقْرَأُ الْقُرْآنَ وَلَسْتَ عَلَى وُضُوءٍ ، فَقَالَ لَهُ عُمَرُ : " مَنْ أَفْتَاكَ بِهَذَا أَمُسَيْلِمَةُ ؟ "
It is narrated from Muhammad bin Sirin that Sayyiduna Umar bin Khattab (may Allah be pleased with him) was sitting among the people and the people were reciting the Qur'an. He went to relieve himself and then returned and began to recite the Qur'an. A person said: "Do you recite the Word of Allah without ablution?" Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "Who told you that this is prohibited? Did Musaylimah say so?"
