Hadith 806
أَخْبَرَنَا خَالِدُ بْنُ النَّضْرِ الْقُرَشِيُّ ، بِالْبَصْرَةِ ، وَابْنُ خُزَيْمَةَ ، حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْمُثَنَّى ، قَالَ : حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الأَعْلَى ، قَالَ : حَدَّثَنَا سَعِيدٌ ، عَنْ قَتَادَةَ ، عَنِ الْحَسَنِ ، عَنْ حُضَيْنِ بْنِ الْمُنْذِرِ ، عَنْ مُهَاجِرِ بْنِ قُنْفُذٍ ، أَنَّهُ أَتَى النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، وَهُوَ يَبُولُ ، فَسَلَّمَ عَلَيْهِ فَلَمْ يَرُدَّ عَلَيْهِ حَتَّى تَوَضَّأَ ، ثُمَّ اعْتَذَرَ ، فَقَالَ : " إِنِّي كَرِهْتُ أَنْ أَذْكُرَ اللَّهَ إِلا عَلَى طُهْرٍ ، أَوْ قَالَ : عَلَى طَهَارَةٍ " . قَالَ أَبُو حَاتِمٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ : فِي هَذَا الْخَبَرِ بَيَانٌ وَاضِحٌ أَنَّ كَرَاهِيَةَ الْمُصْطَفَى صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ذِكْرَ اللَّهِ إِلا عَلَى طَهَارَةٍ ، كَانَ ذَلِكَ لأَنَّ الذِّكْرَ عَلَى طَهَارَةٍ أَفْضَلُ ، لا أَنَّ ذِكْرَ الْمَرْءِ رَبَّهُ عَلَى غَيْرِ الطَّهَارَةِ غَيْرُ جَائِزٍ ، لأَنَّهُ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ كَانَ يَذْكُرُ اللَّهَ عَلَى أَحْيَانِهِ .
Sayyiduna Muhajir bin Qunfudh (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: He came to the service of the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him). The Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) was urinating at that time. He greeted (with salam), but the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) did not reply to his greeting. First, he performed ablution, then, explaining the reason, he said: "I did not like to mention Allah Almighty while I was not in a state of ablution." (Regarding one word here, the narrator is in doubt.)
(Imam Ibn Hibban, may Allah have mercy on him, says:) In this narration, there is a clear statement of this matter. The Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) disliked mentioning Allah Almighty while not in a state of ablution because it is more virtuous to mention (Allah) while in a state of ablution. It is not that it is not permissible for a person to mention his Lord while not in a state of ablution, because the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) used to mention Allah Almighty at all times.
