Abu Hurairah reported: The prayer (in congregation) began and people stood in their rows. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ came out (from his residence). When he stood at his proper place he recalled that he did not take a bath. He then said to the people: (Remain standing) at your places. Then he returned to his house and came out upon us after taking a bath while the drops of water were coming down from his head. We were standing in the rows (of prayer). This is the version of Ibn Harb. Ayyash reported in his version: we kept on waiting for him while we were standing until he came upon us after he had taken a bath.

This tradition has also been transmitted by Abu Hurairah through a different chain of narrators to the same effect. This version adds: He should then prolong it afterwards as much as he likes. Abu Dawud said: This tradition has been transmitted by Hammad bin Salamah, Zuhair bin Muawiyah and a group of narrators from Hisham. They transmitted it as a statement of Abu Hurairah himself (mauquf). This tradition has also been transmitted by Ibn 'Awn from Muhammad (b. Sirin). This version has the wordings: These two rak'ahs were short.

Narrated Abdur-Rahman bin Abdullah bin Kab bin Malik: On the authority of his mother than Umm Mubashshir said (Abu Saeed bin al-A'rabi said: So he said it on the authority of his mother ; what is correct is: on the authority of his father, instead of his mother): I entered upon the Prophet ﷺ. He then mentioned the tradition of Makhlad bin Khalid in a way similar to the tradition of Jabir. The narrator said: Then Bishr bin al-Bara bin Ma'rur died. So he (the Prophet) sent for the Jewess and said: What did motivate you for your work you have done ? He (the narrator) then mentioned the rest of the tradition like the tradition of Jabir. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ ordered regarding her and she was killed. He (the narrator in this version) did not mention cupping.

Narrated Atiyyah as-Saadi: Abu Wail al-Qass said: We entered upon Urwah ibn Muhammad ibn as-Saadi. A man spoke to him and made him angry. So he stood and performed ablution; he then returned and performed ablution, and said: My father told me on the authority of my grandfather Atiyyah who reported the Messenger of Allah ﷺ as saying: Anger comes from the devil, the devil was created of fire, and fire is extinguished only with water; so when one of you becomes angry, he should perform ablution.
