Hadith 64

حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَشَّارٍ , وَمَحْمُودُ بْنُ غَيْلَانَ , قَالَا : حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو دَاوُدَ، عَنْ شُعْبَةَ، عَنْ عَاصِمٍ، قَال : سَمِعْتُ أَبَا حَاجِبٍ يُحَدِّثُ ، عَنْ الْحَكَمِ بْنِ عَمْرٍو الْغِفَارِيِّ، أَنّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ " نَهَى أَنْ يَتَوَضَّأَ الرَّجُلُ بِفَضْلِ طَهُورِ الْمَرْأَةِ " , أَوْ قَالَ : " بِسُؤْرِهَا " . قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى : هَذَا حَسَنٌ ، وَأَبُو حَاجِبٍ اسْمُهُ : سَوَادَةُ بْنُ عَاصِمٍ ، وقَالَ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَشَّارٍ فِي حَدِيثِهِ : نَهَى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَنْ يَتَوَضَّأَ الرَّجُلُ بِفَضْلِ طَهُورِ الْمَرْأَةِ " , وَلَمْ يَشُكَّ فِيهِ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَشَّارٍ .
´A1-Hakim bin Amr AI-Ghifari narrated that:` "The Prophet forbade that a man should perform Wudu with the leftover (water) from a woman's purifcation." Or, he said: "from her drinking."

Explanation & Benefits
Shaykh Dr. Abdur Rahman Freywai
English Commentary:
1:
From this prohibition, a prohibition of tanzih (discouragement, not absolute forbiddance) is intended,
that is, it is better not to use it.
The evidence for this is those hadiths which indicate permissibility,
or this prohibition will be applied to that water which falls from the limbs during ablution (wudu), because that is used water (ma’ musta‘mal).

2:
The meaning is that the narration of Mahmood ibn Ghailan is with an expression of doubt, while that of Muhammad ibn Bashshar is without an expression of doubt.

Benefits and Issues:
This prohibition is either from before the concession was granted, or it is based on precaution. However, in Kitab al-‘Ilal of Tirmidhi, it is mentioned that Imam Bukhari rahimahullah declared the hadith of Hakam ibn ‘Amr al-Aqra‘ to be weak. And the more correct view is that which was mentioned in the previous chapter: that a woman and a man may perform ablution (wudu) and ritual bath (ghusl) using water left over and used by each other.
