Hisham00000narrated it from his father, who narrated it on the authority hands three times, and then the whole of 'A'isha that when the Apostle (ﷺ) took a bath because of sexual intercourse, he first washed the palms of his hadith was transmitted like that based on the authority of Abu Mu'awyia, but no mention is made of the washing of feet.

This hadith is narrated by A'mash with the same chain of transmitters, but in the hadith narrated by Yahya b. Yahya and Abu Kuraib there is no mention of: " Pouring of three handfuls of water on the head." and in the hadith narrated by Waki' all the features of ablution have been recorded: rinsing (of mouth), snuffing of water (in the nostrils) ; and in the hadith transmitted by Abu Mu'awyia, there is no mention of a towel.

Ibn Abbas (RA) narrated It on the authority of Maimuna that the Apostle of Allah (ﷺ) was given a towel, but he did not rub (his body) with it, but he did like this with water, i. e. he shook it off.

'A'isha reported: The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) took a bath from the vessel (which contained seven to eight seers, i. e. fifteen to sixteen pounds) of water And I and he (the Holy Prophet) took a bath from the same vessel.

'Ubaid bin Umair reported: It was conveyed to 'A'isha that 'Abdullah bin 'Amr ordered the women to undo the (plaits) of hair on their heads. She said: How strange it is for Ibn 'Amr that he orders the women to undo the plaits of their head while taking a bath; why does he not order them to shave their heads? I and the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) took bath from one vessel. I did no more than this that I poured three handfuls of water over my head.

'A'isha reported: Asma' bin Shakal came to the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) and said: Messenger of Allah, how should one amongst us take a bath after the menstruation, and the rest of the hadith is the same and there is no mention of bathing because of sexual intercourse.

'A'isha reported: Fatimah bin Abu Hubaish came to the Apostle (ﷺ) and said: I am a woman whose blood keeps flowing (even after the menstruation period). I am never purified; should I, therefore, abandon prayer? He (the Holy Prophet) said: Not at all, for that is only a vein, and is not a menstruation, so when menstruation comes, abandon prayer, and when it ends wash the blood from yourself and then pray.

Abu Sa'id al-Khudri reported: The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) happened to pass by (the house) of a man amongst the Ansar, and he sent for him. He came out and water was trickling down from his head. Upon this he (the Holy Prophet) said: Perhaps we put you to haste. He said: Yes Messenger of Allah.

This hadith is also narrated by another chain of transmitters.

'Abbad bin Tamim reported from his uncle that a person made a complaint to the Apostle (ﷺ) that he entertained (doubt) as if something had happened to him breaking his ablution.

Abu Bakr (RA) and Zuhair bin Harb have pointed out in their narrations that it was 'Abdullah bin Zaid.

The freed slave-girl of Maimuna was given a goat in charity but it died. The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) happened to pass by that (carcass). Upon this he said: Why did you not take off its skin?

Abu bakr and Ibn 'Umar (RA) in their narrations said: It is narrated from Maimuna (may Allah be pleased with her).

When they came to the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) , they made a complaint about it, and the verses pertaining to tayammum were revealed. Upon this Usaid bin Hadair said (to 'A'isha): May Allah grant you a good reward! Never has been there an occasion when you were beset with difficulty and Allah did not make you come out of that and made it an occasion of blessing for the Muslims.

Shaqiq reported: I was sitting in the company of 'Abdullah and Abu Musa when Abu Musa said: 0 'Abdul Rahman (kunya of 'Abdullah bin Mas'ud), what would you like a man to do about the prayer if he experiences a seminal emission or has sexual intercourse but does not find water for a month? 'Abdullah said: He should not perform tayammum even if he does not find water for a month. 'Abdullah said: Then what about the verse in Sura Ma'ida: "If you do not find water, betake yourself to clean dust"? 'Abdullah said: If they were granted concession on the basis of this verse, there is a possibility that they would perform tayammum with dust on finding water very cold for themselves. Abu Musa said to 'Abdullah (RA) : You have not heard the words of 'Ammar: The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) sent me on an errand and I had a seminal emission, but could find no water, and rolled myself in dust just as a beast rolls itself. I came to the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) then and made a mention of that to him and he (the Holy Prophet) said: It would have been enough for you to do thus.

Upon this the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: Hallowed be Allah, verily a believer is never defiled.

Hudhaifa reported: The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) happened to meet him and he was (sexually) defiled, and he slipped away and took a bath and then came and said: I was (sexually) defiled. Upon this he (the Holy Prophet) remarked: A Muslim is never defiled.

Ibn 'Abbas reported: We were with the Apostle of Allah (ﷺ) and he had come out of the privy. Food was presented to him. It was said to him (by the Companions around him): Wouldn't you perform ablution? Upon this he said: Why, am I to say prayer that I should perform ablution?

Abu Ishaq (a student of Imam Muslim) said: Abu Bakr (RA) the son of Abu Nadr's sister has (critically) discussed this hadith. Imam Muslim said: Whom can you find a more authentic transmitter of hadith than Sulaiman?

He ( Abu Bakr (RA) again) said: Then, why. have you not included it (in your compilation)?

He led us in prayer in a sitting posture and we said prayer behind him sitting, and when he finished the prayer he said: The Imam is appointed only to be followed; so when he recites takbir, you should also recite that; when he prostrates, you should also prostrate; when he rises up, you should also rise up, and when he said: "God listens to him who praises Him," you should say: "Our Lord, to Thee be the praise," and when he prays sitting, all of you should pray sitting.

She ('A'isha) said: I asked Hafsa to (convey) my impression to him (the Holy Prophet) that Abu Bakr was a tenderhearted man, so when he would stand at his place, he would not be able to make the people bear anything. He better order Umar. Hafsa conveyed this (message of Hadrat 'A'isha) to him (the Holy Prophet). The Messenger of Allah (صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ) said: (You are behaving) as if you are the females who had gathered around Yusuf. Order Abd Bakr to lead the people in prayer. She ('A'isha) reported: So Abu Bakr was ordered to lead the people in prayer. As the prayer began, the Messenger of Allah (may peace he upon him) felt some relief; he got up and moved supported by two persons and his feet dragged on earth (due to excessive weakness). 'A'isha reported: As he (the Holy Prophet) entered the mosque. Abu Bakr perceived his (arrival). He was about to with. draw, but the Messenger of Allah (صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ) by the gesture (of This hand) told him to keep standing at his place.

He (the Holy Prophet) said: You order Abu Bakr (RA) to lead the people in prayer, and added: You are like the female companions of Yusuf.
