صحيح ابن خزيمه
Sahih Ibn Khuzaymah
جماع أبواب ذكر الماء الذي لا ينجس، والذي ينجس إذا خالطته نجاسةChapters on Water that is Pure and Impure
(91) بَابُ ذِكْرِ الدَّلِيلِ عَلَى أَنَّ تَوْقِيتَ الْمُدِّ مِنَ الْمَاءِ لِلْوُضُوءِ " أَنَّ الْوُضُوءَ بِالْمُدِّ يُجْزِئُ،
Chapter 91: Evidence that specifying a mudd of water for ablution is sufficient
Hadith Q117
لَا أَنَّهُ لَا يَسَعُ الْمُتَوَضِّئُ أَنْ يَزِيدَ عَلَى الْمُدِّ أَوْ يَنْقُصَ مِنْهُ إِذْ لَوْ لَمْ يُجْزِئِ الزِّيَادَةُ عَلَى ذَلِكَ وَلَا النُّقْصَانُ مِنْهُ، كَانَ عَلَى الْمَرْءِ إِذَا أَرَادَ الْوُضُوءَ أَنْ يَكِيلَ مُدًّا مِنْ مَاءٍ فَيَتَوَضَّأَ بِهِ لَا يُبْقِي مِنْهُ شَيْئًا، وَقَدْ يَرْفُقُ الْمُتَوَضِّئُ بِالْقَلِيلِ مِنَ الْمَاءِ فَيَكْفِي بِغَسْلِ أَعْضَاءِ الْوُضُوءِ، وَيَخْرُقُ بِالْكَثِيرِ فَلَا يَكْفِي لِغَسْلِ أَعْضَاءِ الْوُضُوءِ
This does not mean that one cannot use less or more than a mudd of water for ablution. Because if it were not permissible to decrease or increase from a mudd of water, then it would become necessary for the person performing ablution to measure a mudd of water before ablution, and then perform ablution in such a way that nothing remains. Whereas sometimes the person performing ablution uses a little water carefully, and it is sufficient for washing the limbs of ablution, and sometimes more water is used carelessly, and it becomes insufficient for washing the limbs of ablution.
Hadith 117
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.
