Hadith 80

حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ أَبِي عُمَرَ، حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ بْنُ عُيَيْنَةَ، قَالَ : حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَقِيلٍ، سَمِعَ جَابِرًا، قَالَ سُفْيَانُ : وَحَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْمُنْكَدِرِ، عَنْ جَابِرٍ، قَالَ : " خَرَجَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَأَنَا مَعَهُ ، فَدَخَلَ عَلَى امْرَأَةٍ مِنْ الْأَنْصَارِ ، فَذَبَحَتْ لَهُ شَاةً ، فَأَكَلَ وَأَتَتْهُ بِقِنَاعٍ مِنْ رُطَبٍ ، فَأَكَلَ مِنْهُ ثُمَّ تَوَضَّأَ لِلظُّهْرِ وَصَلَّى ثُمَّ انْصَرَفَ ، فَأَتَتْهُ بِعُلَالَةٍ مِنْ عُلَالَةِ الشَّاةِ ، فَأَكَلَ ثُمَّ صَلَّى الْعَصْرَ وَلَمْ يَتَوَضَّأْ " . قال : وَفِي الْبَاب عَنْ أَبِي بَكْرٍ الصِّدِّيقِ ، وَابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ ، وَأَبِي هُرَيرَةَ ، وَابْنِ مَسْعُودٍ ، وَأَبِي رَافِعٍ ، وَأُمِّ الْحَكَمِ ، وَعَمْرِو بْنِ أُمَيَّةَ ، وَأُمِّ عَامِرٍ ، وَسُوَيْدِ بْنِ النُّعْمَانِ ، وَأُمِّ سَلَمَةَ . قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى : وَلَا يَصِحُّ حَدِيثُ أَبِي بَكْرٍ فِي هَذَا الْبَابِ مِنْ قِبَلِ إِسْنَادِهِ ، إِنَّمَا رَوَاهُ حُسَامُ بْنُ مِصَكٍّ ، عَنْ ابْنِ سِيرِينَ ، عَنْ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ ، عَنْ أَبِي بَكْرٍ الصِّدِّيقِ ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَالصَّحِيحُ ، إِنَّمَا هُوَ عَنْ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، هَكَذَا رَوَاهُ الْحُفَّاظُ ، وَرُوِيَ مِنْ غَيْرِ وَجْهٍ ، عَنْ ابْنِ سِيرِينَ ، عَنْ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، وَرَوَاهُ عَطَاءُ بْنُ يَسَارٍ ، وَعِكْرِمَةُ ، وَمُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَمْرِو بْنِ عَطَاءٍ ، وَعَلِيُّ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَبَّاسٍ ، وَغَيْرُ وَاحِدٍ عَنْ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، وَلَمْ يَذْكُرُوا فِيهِ عَنْ أَبِي بَكْرٍ الصِّدِّيقِ ، وَهَذَا أَصَحُّ . قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى : وَالْعَمَلُ عَلَى هَذَا عِنْدَ أَكْثَرِ أَهْلِ الْعِلْمِ مِنْ أَصْحَابِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَالتَّابِعِينَ وَمَنْ بَعْدَهُمْ ، مِثْلِ : سُفْيَانَ الثَّوْرِيِّ ، وَابْنِ الْمُبَارَكِ ، وَالشَّافِعِيِّ ، وَأَحْمَدَ ، وَإِسْحَاق رَأَوْا تَرْكَ الْوُضُوءِ مِمَّا مَسَّتِ النَّارُ ، وَهَذَا آخِرُ الْأَمْرَيْنِ مِنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، وَكَأَنَّ هَذَا الْحَدِيثَ نَاسِخٌ لِلْحَدِيثِ الْأَوَّلِ حَدِيثِ الْوُضُوءِ ، مِمَّا مَسَّتِ النَّارُ .
´Jabir narrated:` "Allah's Messenger went out and I went with him. He entered upon a woman from the Ansar. She slaughtered a sheep and he ate from it; and she brought a basket with ripe dates and he ate from it. Then he performed Wudu for Zuhr and prayed. Then he finished, so she brought him something from the remainder of the sheep. So he ate it, then prayed Asr and did not perform Wudu."

Explanation & Benefits
Shaykh Dr. Abdur Rahman Freywai
1:
Except for camel meat,
as is coming in the next hadith,
camel meat has a particular kind of odor and greasiness,
because of which it has been declared as something that breaks ablution (wudu),
to interpret the ablution (wudu) mentioned in this context as merely washing the hands and face is to unnecessarily divert the legal terms from their actual meaning.

Hafiz Muhammad Ameen
185. Commentary: By "two actions" is meant performing ablution (wudu) after eating something cooked over fire, and not performing it. In other words, the command to perform ablution in this context has been abrogated. The narration of Ibn Abbas radi Allahu anhuma also points towards this, because Ibn Abbas radi Allahu anhuma came to Madinah after the conquest of Makkah.

Benefits and Issues:

Allamah Khattabi writes:
If the host has not given a prior invitation, then suddenly joining his meal is considered disliked,
unless it is clear from signs and indications that the owner of the food is offering generously.
In that case, one may join.


Both of the aforementioned narrations (the one about washing the hands and the one about not washing them) are unreliable due to their weakness,
therefore, washing the hands at the time of eating is not obligatory.
However, if the hands are not clean, then washing them becomes necessary.

Shaykh Muhammad Ibrahim bin Basheer
Benefit:
From this hadith, it is understood that ablution (wudu) is not nullified by something cooked over fire. One should invite one another, and in an invitation, as many dishes as desired—such as bread, milk, etc.—can be prepared.
