حَدَّثَنَا
هَارُونُ بْنُ إِسْحَاقَ الْهَمَذَانِيُّ مِنْ كِتَابِهِ ، حَدَّثَنَا
ابْنُ فُضَيْلٍ ، عَنْ
حُصَيْنٍ ،
وَيَزِيدَ بْنِ أَبِي زِيَادٍ ، عَنْ
سَالِمِ بْنِ أَبِي الْجَعْدِ ، عَنْ
جَابِرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ، قَالَ : قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " يُجْزِئُ مِنَ الْوُضُوءِ الْمُدُّ ، وَمِنَ الْجَنَابَةِ الصَّاعُ " . فَقَالَ لَهُ رَجُلٌ : لا يَكْفِينَا ذَلِكَ يَا جَابِرُ ، فَقَالَ : قَدْ كَفَى مَنْ هُوَ خَيْرٌ مِنْكَ وَأَكْثَرُ شَعَرًا . قَالَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ فِي قَوْلِهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " يُجْزِئُ مِنَ الْوُضُوءِ الْمُدُّ " : دَلالَةٌ عَلَى أَنَّ تَوْقِيتَ الْمُدِّ مِنَ الْمَاءِ لِلْوُضُوءِ أَنَّ ذَلِكَ يُجْزِئُ ، لا أَنَّهُ لا يَجُوزُ النُّقْصَانُ مِنْهُ ، وَلا الزِّيَادَةُ فِيهِ
Sayyiduna Jabir bin Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with them both) narrates that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "A mudd (of water) is sufficient for ablution (wudu) and a sa’ (of water) is sufficient for (ritual) bath (ghusl) from janabah." A man said to him, "O Jabir, this amount (of water) is not enough for us." So he replied, "A person better, superior, and with more hair than you (the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him) found this amount of water sufficient." Imam Abu Bakr (may Allah have mercy on him) says that in the statement of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), "A mudd is sufficient for ablution," there is evidence that specifying a mudd as the amount for ablution means that this amount is sufficient. It does not mean that it is not permissible to use less or more than this amount.
