Sa`d bin Abi Waqqas said, "The Prophet (ﷺ) passed wet hands over his Khuffs (socks made from thick
fabric or leather)." `Abdullah bin `Umar asked `Umar about it. `Umar replied in the affirmative and
added, "Whenever Sa`d narrates a Hadith from the Prophet, there is no need to ask anyone else about
it."
Once Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) went out to answer the call of nature and I followed him with a tumbler
containing water, and when he finished, I poured water and he performed ablution and passed wet
hands over his Khuffs (socks made from thick fabric or leather).

My father said, "Once I was in the company of the Prophet (ﷺ) on a journey and I dashed to take off his
Khuffs (socks made from thick fabric or leather). He ordered me to leave them as he had put them
after performing ablution. So he passed wet hands over them.
My father said, "I saw Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) taking a piece of (cooked) mutton from the shoulder region and
then he was called for prayer. He put his knife down and prayed without repeating ablution."

In the year of the conquest of Khaibar I went with Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) till we reached Sahba, a place near
Khaibar, where Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) offered the `Asr prayer and asked for food. Nothing but saweeq
was brought. He ordered it to be moistened with water. He and all of us ate it and the Prophet (ﷺ) got up
for the evening prayer (Maghrib prayer), rinsed his mouth with water and we did the same, and he
then prayed without repeating the ablution.
Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said, "If anyone of you feels drowsy while praying he should go to bed (sleep) till his
slumber is over because in praying while drowsy one does not know whether one is asking for
forgiveness or for a bad thing for oneself."
Anas said, "The Prophet (ﷺ) used to perform ablution for every prayer." I asked Anas, "What did you used to
do?' Anas replied, "We used to pray with the same ablution until we break it with Hadath."

Once the Prophet, while passing through one of the graveyards of Medina or Mecca heard the voices
of two persons who were being tortured in their graves. The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "These two persons are
being tortured not for a major sin (to avoid)." The Prophet (ﷺ) then added, "Yes! (they are being tortured
for a major sin). Indeed, one of them never saved himself from being soiled with his urine while the
other used to go about with calumnies (to make enmity between friends). The Prophet (ﷺ) then asked for a
green leaf of a date-palm tree, broke it into two pieces and put one on each grave. On being asked why
he had done so, he replied, "I hope that their torture might be lessened, till these get dried."

Once the Prophet (ﷺ) went to the dumps of some people and passed urine while standing. He then asked

Abu Musa Al-Ash`ari used to lay great stress on the question of urination and he used to say, "If
anyone from Bani Israel happened to soil his clothes with urine, he used to cut that portion away."

in order to remove the traces of blood and then pour water over it. Then she can pray in it."

Fatima bint Abi Hubaish came to the Prophet (ﷺ) and said, "O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) I get persistent bleeding
from the uterus and do not become clean. Shall I give up my prayers?" Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) replied, "No,
because it is from a blood vessel and not the menses. So when your real menses begins give up your
prayers and when it has finished wash off the blood (take a bath) and offer your prayers." Hisham (the
sub narrator) narrated that his father had also said, (the Prophet (ﷺ) told her): "Perform ablution for every
prayer till the time of the next period comes."

Prophet and drove away all the camels. The news reached the Prophet (ﷺ) early in the morning and he
sent (men) in their pursuit and they were captured and brought at noon. He then ordered to cut their
hands and feet (and it was done), and their eyes were branded with heated pieces of iron, They were
put in 'Al-Harra' and when they asked for water, no water was given to them." Abu Qilaba said,

While Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) was prostrating (as stated below).
Narrated `Abdullah bin Mas`ud:
Once the Prophet (ﷺ) was offering prayers at the Ka`ba. Abu Jahl was sitting with some of his
companions. One of them said to the others, "Who amongst you will bring the Abdominal contents
(intestines, etc.) of a camel of Bani so and so and put it on the back of Muhammad, when he
prostrates?" The most unfortunate of them got up and brought it. He waited till the Prophet (ﷺ) prostrated
and then placed it on his back between his shoulders. I was watching but could not do any thing. I
wish I had some people with me to hold out against them. They started laughing and falling on one
another. Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) was in prostration and he did not lift his head up till Fatima (Prophet's
daughter) came and threw that (camel's Abdominal contents) away from his back. He raised his head
and said thrice, "O Allah! Punish Quraish." So it was hard for Abu Jahl and his companions when the
Prophet invoked Allah against them as they had a conviction that the prayers and invocations were
accepted in this city (Mecca). The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "O Allah! Punish Abu Jahl, `Utba bin Rabi`a, Shaiba
bin Rabi`a, Al-Walid bin `Utba, Umaiya bin Khalaf, and `Uqba bin Al Mu'it [??] (and he mentioned
the seventh whose name I cannot recall). By Allah in Whose Hands my life is, I saw the dead bodies
of those persons who were counted by Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) in the Qalib (one of the wells) of Badr.
Sahl bin Sa`d As-Sa`idi, was asked by the people, "With what was the wound of the Prophet (ﷺ) treated?
Sahl replied, "None remains among the people living who knows that better than I. `Ali [??] used to
bring water in his shield and Fatima used to wash the blood off his face. Then straw mat was burnt
and the wound was filled with it."

My father said, "I came to the Prophet (ﷺ) and saw him carrying a Siwak in his hand and cleansing his
teeth, saying, 'U' U'," as if he was retching while the Siwak was in his mouth."
The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "I dreamt that I was cleaning my teeth with a Siwak and two persons came to me. One of them was older than the other and I gave the Siwak to the younger. I was told that I should give it to the older and so I did."
The Prophet (ﷺ) said to me, "Whenever you go to bed perform ablution like that for the prayer, lie or your
right side and say, "Allahumma aslamtu wajhi ilaika, wa fauwadtu `Amri ilaika, wa alja'tu Zahri ilaika

my affairs to You and depend upon You for Your Blessings both with hope and fear of You. There is
no fleeing from You, and there is no place of protection and safety except with You O Allah! I believe
in Your Book (the Qur'an) which You have revealed and in Your Prophet (Muhammad) whom You
have sent). Then if you die on that very night, you will die with faith (i.e. or the religion of Islam). Let
the aforesaid words be your last utterance (before sleep)." I repeated it before the Prophet (ﷺ) and when I
reached "Allahumma amantu bikitabika-l-ladhi anzalta (O Allah I believe in Your Book which You
have revealed)." I said, "Wa-rasulika (and your Apostle)." The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "No, (but say):

(the wife of the Prophet) Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) performed ablution like that for the prayer but did not wash
his feet. He washed off the discharge from his private parts and then poured water over his body. He
withdrew his feet from that place (the place where he took the bath) and then washed them. And that
was his way of taking the bath of Janaba.
`Aisha's brother and I went to `Aisha and he asked her about the bath of the Prophet. She brought a
pot containing about a Sa` of water and took a bath and poured it over her head and at that time there
was a screen between her and us.
While I and my father were with Jabir bin `Abdullah, some people asked him about taking a bath. He
replied, "A Sa` of water is sufficient for you." A man said, "A Sa` is not sufficient for me." Jabir said,
"A Sa` was sufficient for one who had more hair than you and was better than you (meaning the
Prophet)." And then Jabir (put on) his garment and led the prayer.

Narrated Abu Ja`far:
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو نُعَيْمٍ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا مَعْمَرُ بْنُ يَحْيَى بْنِ سَامٍ، حَدَّثَنِي أَبُو جَعْفَرٍ، قَالَ قَالَ لِي جَابِرٌ أَتَانِي ابْنُ عَمِّكَ يُعَرِّضُ بِالْحَسَنِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ ابْنِ الْحَنَفِيَّةِ قَالَ كَيْفَ الْغُسْلُ مِنَ الْجَنَابَةِ فَقُلْتُ كَانَ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم يَأْخُذُ ثَلاَثَةَ أَكُفٍّ وَيُفِيضُهَا عَلَى رَأْسِهِ، ثُمَّ يُفِيضُ عَلَى سَائِرِ جَسَدِهِ. فَقَالَ لِي الْحَسَنُ إِنِّي رَجُلٌ كَثِيرُ الشَّعَرِ. فَقُلْتُ كَانَ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم أَكْثَرَ مِنْكَ شَعَرًا.
Jabir bin `Abdullah said to me, "Your cousin (Hasan bin Muhammad bin Al-Hanafiya) came to me
and asked about the bath of Janaba. I replied, 'The Prophet (ﷺ) uses to take three handfuls of water, pour
them on his head and then pour more water over his body.' Al-Hasan said to me, 'I am a hairy man.' I
replied, 'The Prophet (ﷺ) had more hair than you'. "
I placed water for the bath of the Prophet. He washed his hands twice or thrice and then poured water
on his left hand and washed his private parts. He rubbed his hands over the earth (and cleaned them),
rinsed his mouth, washed his nose by putting water in it and blowing it out, washed his face and both
forearms and then poured water over his body. Then he withdrew from that place and washed his feet.
Whenever the Prophet (ﷺ) took the bath of Janaba (sexual relation or wet dream) he asked for the Hilab or
some other scent. He used to take it in his hand, rub it first over the right side of his head and then
over the left and then rub the middle of his head with both hands.
I placed water for the bath of the Prophet (ﷺ) and he poured water with his right hand on his left and
washed them. Then he washed his private parts and rubbed his hands on the ground, washed them
with water, rinsed his mouth and washed his nose by putting water in it and blowing it out, washed his
face and poured water on his head. He withdrew from that place and washed his feet. A piece of cloth
(towel) was given to him but he did not use it.
The Prophet (ﷺ) took the bath of Janaba. (sexual relation or wet dream). He first cleaned his private parts
with his hand, and then rubbed it (that hand) on the wall (earth) and washed it. Then he performed
ablution like that for the prayer, and after the bath he washed his feet.
I placed water for the bath of Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) and he poured water over his hands and washed them
twice or thrice; then he poured water with his right hand over his left and washed his private parts
(with his left hand). He rubbed his hand over the earth and rinsed his mouth and washed his nose by
putting water in it and blowing it out. After that he washed his face, both fore arms and head thrice
and then poured water over his body. He withdrew from that place and washed his feet.
I placed water for the bath of Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) and put a screen. He poured water over his hands, and
washed them once or twice. (The sub-narrator added that he did not remember if she had said thrice or
not). Then he poured water with his right hand over his left one and washed his private parts. He
rubbed his hand over the earth or the wall and washed it. He rinsed his mouth and washed his nose by
putting water in it and blowing it out. He washed his face, forearms and head. He poured water over
his body and then withdrew from that place and washed his feet. I presented him a piece of cloth
(towel) and he pointed with his hand (that he does not want it) and did not take it.
on the authority of his father that he had asked `Aisha (about the Hadith of Ibn `Umar). She said,
"May Allah be Merciful to Abu `Abdur-Rahman. I used to put scent on Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) and he used to
go round his wives, and in the morning he assumed the Ihram, and the fragrance of scent was still
coming out from his body."
Anas bin Malik said, "The Prophet (ﷺ) used to visit all his wives in a round, during the day and night and
they were eleven in number." I asked Anas, "Had the Prophet (ﷺ) the strength for it?" Anas replied, "We
used to say that the Prophet (ﷺ) was given the strength of thirty (men)." And Sa`id said on the authority of
Qatada that Anas had told him about nine wives only (not eleven).

Bathing (Ghusl) - كتاب الغسل
Narrated `Ali:
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الْوَلِيدِ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا زَائِدَةُ، عَنْ أَبِي حَصِينٍ، عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ، عَنْ عَلِيٍّ، قَالَ كُنْتُ رَجُلاً مَذَّاءً فَأَمَرْتُ رَجُلاً أَنْ يَسْأَلَ النَّبِيَّ صلى الله عليه وسلم لِمَكَانِ ابْنَتِهِ فَسَأَلَ فَقَالَ
" تَوَضَّأْ وَاغْسِلْ ذَكَرَكَ ".
I used to get emotional urethral discharge frequently. Being the son-in-law of the Prophet (ﷺ) I requested
a man to ask him about it. So the man asked the Prophet (ﷺ) about it. The Prophet (ﷺ) replied, "Perform
ablution after washing your organ (penis)."
on the authority of his father that he had asked `Aisha about the saying of Ibn `Umar (i.e. he did not
like to be a Muhrim while the smell of scent was still coming from his body). `Aisha said, "I scented
Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) and he went round (had sexual intercourse with) all his wives, and in the morning he
was Muhrim (after taking a bath)."

Bathing (Ghusl) - كتاب الغسل
Narrated Hisham bin `Urwa:
حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدَانُ، قَالَ أَخْبَرَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ، قَالَ أَخْبَرَنَا هِشَامُ بْنُ عُرْوَةَ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ، قَالَتْ كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم إِذَا اغْتَسَلَ مِنَ الْجَنَابَةِ غَسَلَ يَدَيْهِ، وَتَوَضَّأَ وُضُوءَهُ لِلصَّلاَةِ ثُمَّ اغْتَسَلَ، ثُمَّ يُخَلِّلُ بِيَدِهِ شَعَرَهُ، حَتَّى إِذَا ظَنَّ أَنْ قَدْ أَرْوَى بَشَرَتَهُ، أَفَاضَ عَلَيْهِ الْمَاءَ ثَلاَثَ مَرَّاتٍ، ثُمَّ غَسَلَ سَائِرَ جَسَدِهِ. وَقَالَتْ كُنْتُ أَغْتَسِلُ أَنَا وَرَسُولُ اللَّهِ، صلى الله عليه وسلم مِنْ إِنَاءٍ وَاحِدٍ نَغْرِفُ مِنْهُ جَمِيعًا.
(on the authority of his father) `Aisha said, "Whenever Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) took the bath of Janaba, he
cleaned his hands and performed ablution like that for prayer and then took a bath and rubbed his hair,
till he felt that the whole skin of the head had become wet, then he would pour water thrice and wash
the rest of the body." `Aisha further said, "I and Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) used to take a bath from a single
water container, from which we took water simultaneously."
Water was placed for the ablution of Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) after Janaba. He poured water with his right hand
over his left twice or thrice and then washed his private parts and rubbed his hand on the earth or on a
wall twice or thrice and then rinsed his mouth, washed his nose by putting water in it and then
blowing it out and then washed his face and forearms and poured water over his head and washed his
body. Then he shifted from that place and washed his feet. I brought a piece of cloth, but he did not
take it and removed the traces of water from his body with his hand."
Once the call (Iqama) for the prayer was announced and the rows were straightened. Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)
came out; and when he stood up at his Musalla, he remembered that he was Junub. Then he ordered us
to stay at our places and went to take a bath and then returned with water dropping from his head. He
said, "Allahu-Akbar", and we all offered the prayer with him.
I placed water for the bath of the Prophet (ﷺ) and screened him with a garment. He poured water over his
hands and washed them. After that he poured water with his right hand over his left and washed his
private parts, rubbed his hands with earth and washed them, rinsed his mouth, washed his nose by
putting water in it and then blowing it out and then washed his face and forearms. He poured water
over his head and body. He then shifted from that place and washed his feet. I gave him a piece of
cloth but he did not take it and came out removing the water (from his body) with both his hands.
Whenever any one of us was Junub, she poured water over her head thrice with both her hands and
then rubbed the right side of her head with one hand and rubbed the left side of the head with the other
hand.
The Prophet (ﷺ) said, 'The (people of) Bani Israel used to take bath naked (all together) looking at each
other. The Prophet (ﷺ) Moses used to take a bath alone. They said, 'By Allah! Nothing prevents Moses
from taking a bath with us except that he has a scrotal hernia.' So once Moses went out to take a bath
and put his clothes over a stone and then that stone ran away with his clothes. Moses followed that
stone saying, "My clothes, O stone! My clothes, O stone! till the people of Bani Israel saw him and
said, 'By Allah, Moses has got no defect in his body. Moses took his clothes and began to beat the
stone." Abu Huraira added, "By Allah! There are still six or seven marks present on the stone from
that excessive beating."

Bathing (Ghusl) - كتاب الغسل
Narrated Abu Huraira:
وَعَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ " بَيْنَا أَيُّوبُ يَغْتَسِلُ عُرْيَانًا فَخَرَّ عَلَيْهِ جَرَادٌ مِنْ ذَهَبٍ، فَجَعَلَ أَيُّوبُ يَحْتَثِي فِي ثَوْبِهِ، فَنَادَاهُ رَبُّهُ يَا أَيُّوبُ، أَلَمْ أَكُنْ أَغْنَيْتُكَ عَمَّا تَرَى قَالَ بَلَى وَعِزَّتِكَ وَلَكِنْ لاَ غِنَى بِي عَنْ بَرَكَتِكَ ". وَرَوَاهُ إِبْرَاهِيمُ عَنْ مُوسَى بْنِ عُقْبَةَ عَنْ صَفْوَانَ عَنْ عَطَاءِ بْنِ يَسَارٍ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ " بَيْنَا أَيُّوبُ يَغْتَسِلُ عُرْيَانًا ".
The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "When the Prophet (ﷺ) Job (Aiyub) was taking a bath naked,
golden locusts began to fall on him. Job started collecting them in his clothes. His Lord addressed
him, 'O Job! Haven't I given you enough so that you are not in need of them.' Job replied, 'Yes!' By
Your Honor (power)! But I cannot dispense with Your Blessings.' "
I went to Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) in the year of the conquest of Mecca and found him taking a bath while
Fatima was screening him. The Prophet (ﷺ) asked, "Who is it?" I replied, "I am Um-Hani."
I screened the Prophet (ﷺ) while he was taking a bath of Janaba. He washed his hands, poured water from
his right hand over his left and washed his private parts. Then he rubbed his hand over a wall or the
earth, and performed ablution similar to that for the prayer but did not wash his feet. Then he poured
water over his body, shifted from that place, and washed his feet.

" نَعَمْ إِذَا رَأَتِ الْمَاءَ ".
(the mother of the believers) Um Sulaim, the wife of Abu Talha, came to Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) and said, "O
Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)! Verily Allah is not shy of (telling you) the truth. Is it necessary for a woman to take a
bath after she has a wet dream (nocturnal sexual discharge)?" Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) replied, "Yes, if she
notices a discharge."
The Prophet (ﷺ) came across me in one of the streets of Medina and at that time I was Junub. So I slipped
away from him and went to take a bath. On my return the Prophet (ﷺ) said, "O Abu Huraira! Where have
you been?" I replied, "I was Junub, so I disliked to sit in your company." The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Subhan
Allah! A believer never becomes impure."
Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) came across me and I was Junub. He took my hand and I went along with him till he
sat down I slipped away, went home and took a bath. When I came back, he was still sitting there. He
then said to me, "O Abu Huraira! Where have you been?' I told him about it. The Prophet (ﷺ) said,
"Subhan Allah! O Abu Huraira! A believer never becomes impure."

Narrated Abu Huraira:
The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "When a man sits in between the four parts of a woman and did the sexual
intercourse with her, bath becomes compulsory."
I asked `Uthman bin `Affan about a man who engaged in the sexual intercourse with his wife but did
not discharge. `Uthman replied, "He should perform ablution like that for the prayer after washing his
private parts." `Uthman added, "I heard that from Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)." I asked `Ali bin Abi Talib, Az-
Zubair bin Al-`Awwam, Talha bin 'Ubaidullah and Ubai bin Ka`b and they gave the same reply. (Abu
Aiyub said that he had heard that from Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) ) (This order was canceled later on so one has
to take a bath. See, Hadith No. 180).
I asked Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) about a man who engages in sexual intercourse with his wife but does not
discharge. He replied, "He should wash the parts which comes in contact with the private parts of the
woman, perform ablution and then pray." (Abu `Abdullah said, "Taking a bath is safer and is the last
order.")

حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ، قَالَ سَمِعْتُ عَبْدَ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنَ الْقَاسِمِ، قَالَ سَمِعْتُ الْقَاسِمَ، يَقُولُ سَمِعْتُ عَائِشَةَ، تَقُولُ خَرَجْنَا لاَ نَرَى إِلاَّ الْحَجَّ، فَلَمَّا كُنَّا بِسَرِفَ حِضْتُ، فَدَخَلَ عَلَىَّ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم وَأَنَا أَبْكِي قَالَ " مَا لَكِ أَنُفِسْتِ ". قُلْتُ نَعَمْ. قَالَ " إِنَّ هَذَا أَمْرٌ كَتَبَهُ اللَّهُ عَلَى بَنَاتِ آدَمَ، فَاقْضِي مَا يَقْضِي الْحَاجُّ، غَيْرَ أَنْ لاَ تَطُوفِي بِالْبَيْتِ ". قَالَتْ وَضَحَّى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم عَنْ نِسَائِهِ بِالْبَقَرِ.
`Aisha said, "We set out with the sole intention of performing Hajj and when we reached Sarif, (a
place six miles from Mecca) I got my menses. Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) came to me while I was weeping. He
said 'What is the matter with you? Have you got your menses?' I replied, 'Yes.' He said, 'This is a thing
which Allah has ordained for the daughters of Adam. So do what all the pilgrims do with the
exception of the Tawaf (Circumambulation) round the Ka`ba." `Aisha added, "Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)
sacrificed cows on behalf of his wives."

حَدَّثَنَا إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ مُوسَى، قَالَ أَخْبَرَنَا هِشَامُ بْنُ يُوسُفَ، أَنَّ ابْنَ جُرَيْجٍ، أَخْبَرَهُمْ قَالَ أَخْبَرَنِي هِشَامٌ، عَنْ عُرْوَةَ، أَنَّهُ سُئِلَ أَتَخْدُمُنِي الْحَائِضُ أَوْ تَدْنُو مِنِّي الْمَرْأَةُ وَهْىَ جُنُبٌ فَقَالَ عُرْوَةُ كُلُّ ذَلِكَ عَلَىَّ هَيِّنٌ، وَكُلُّ ذَلِكَ تَخْدُمُنِي، وَلَيْسَ عَلَى أَحَدٍ فِي ذَلِكَ بَأْسٌ، أَخْبَرَتْنِي عَائِشَةُ أَنَّهَا كَانَتْ تُرَجِّلُ ـ تَعْنِي ـ رَأْسَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم وَهِيَ حَائِضٌ، وَرَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم حِينَئِذٍ مُجَاوِرٌ فِي الْمَسْجِدِ، يُدْنِي لَهَا رَأْسَهُ وَهْىَ فِي حُجْرَتِهَا، فَتُرَجِّلُهُ وَهْىَ حَائِضٌ.
A person asked me, "Can a woman in menses serve me? And can a Junub woman come close to me?"
I replied, "All this is easy for me. All of them can serve me, and there is no harm for any other person
to do the same. `Aisha told me that she used to comb the hair of Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) while she was in her
menses, and he was in I`tikaf (in the mosque). He would bring his head near her in her room and she
would comb his hair, while she used to be in her menses."
While I was laying with the Prophet (ﷺ) under a single woolen sheet, I got the menses. I slipped away and
put on the clothes for menses. He said, "Have you got "Nifas" (menses)?" I replied, "Yes." He then
called me and made me lie with him under the same sheet.
The Prophet (ﷺ) and I used to take a bath from a single pot while we were Junub. During the menses, he
used to order me to put on an Izar (dress worn below the waist) and used to fondle me. While in
I`tikaf, he used to bring his head near me and I would wash it while I used to be in my periods
(menses).

Menstrual Periods - كتاب الحيض
Narrated `Abdur-Rahman bin Al-Aswad:
حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ خَلِيلٍ، قَالَ أَخْبَرَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ مُسْهِرٍ، قَالَ أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو إِسْحَاقَ ـ هُوَ الشَّيْبَانِيُّ ـ عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ الأَسْوَدِ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ، قَالَتْ كَانَتْ إِحْدَانَا إِذَا كَانَتْ حَائِضًا، فَأَرَادَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم أَنْ يُبَاشِرَهَا، أَمَرَهَا أَنْ تَتَّزِرَ فِي فَوْرِ حَيْضَتِهَا ثُمَّ يُبَاشِرُهَا. قَالَتْ وَأَيُّكُمْ يَمْلِكُ إِرْبَهُ كَمَا كَانَ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم يَمْلِكُ إِرْبَهُ. تَابَعَهُ خَالِدٌ وَجَرِيرٌ عَنِ الشَّيْبَانِيِّ.
(on the authority of his father) `Aisha said: "Whenever Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) wanted to fondle anyone of us
during her periods (menses), he used to order her to put on an Izar and start fondling her." `Aisha
added, "None of you could control his sexual desires as the Prophet (ﷺ) could."
Once Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) went out to the Musalla (to offer the prayer) of `Id-al-Adha or Al-Fitr prayer.
Then he passed by the women and said, "O women! Give alms, as I have seen that the majority of the
dwellers of Hell-fire were you (women)." They asked, "Why is it so, O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) ?" He replied,
"You curse frequently and are ungrateful to your husbands. I have not seen anyone more deficient in
intelligence and religion than you. A cautious sensible man could be led astray by some of you." The
women asked, "O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)! What is deficient in our intelligence and religion?" He said, "Is not
the evidence of two women equal to the witness of one man?" They replied in the affirmative. He
said, "This is the deficiency in her intelligence. Isn't it true that a woman can neither pray nor fast
during her menses?" The women replied in the affirmative. He said, "This is the deficiency in her
religion."
We set out with the Prophet (ﷺ) for Hajj and when we reached Sarif I got my menses. When the Prophet (ﷺ)
came to me, I was weeping. He asked, "Why are you weeping?" I said, "I wish if I had not performed
Hajj this year." He asked, "May be that you got your menses?" I replied, "Yes." He then said, "This is
the thing which Allah has ordained for all the daughters of Adam. So do what all the pilgrims do
except that you do not perform the Tawaf round the Ka`ba till you are clean."

Fatima bint Abi Hubaish said to Allah's Messenger (ﷺ), "O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)! I do not become clean (from
bleeding). Shall I give up my prayers?" Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) replied: "No, because it is from a blood vessel
and not the menses. So when the real menses begins give up your prayers and when it (the period) has
finished wash the blood off your body (take a bath) and offer your prayers."

Menstrual Periods - كتاب الحيض
Narrated Asma' bint Abi Bakr:
حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ يُوسُفَ، قَالَ أَخْبَرَنَا مَالِكٌ، عَنْ هِشَامٍ، عَنْ فَاطِمَةَ بِنْتِ الْمُنْذِرِ، عَنْ أَسْمَاءَ بِنْتِ أَبِي بَكْرٍ، أَنَّهَا قَالَتْ سَأَلَتِ امْرَأَةٌ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم فَقَالَتْ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ، أَرَأَيْتَ إِحْدَانَا إِذَا أَصَابَ ثَوْبَهَا الدَّمُ مِنَ الْحَيْضَةِ، كَيْفَ تَصْنَعُ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم
" إِذَا أَصَابَ ثَوْبَ إِحْدَاكُنَّ الدَّمُ مِنَ الْحَيْضَةِ، فَلْتَقْرُصْهُ ثُمَّ لِتَنْضَحْهُ بِمَاءٍ، ثُمَّ لِتُصَلِّي فِيهِ ".
A woman asked Allah's Messenger (ﷺ), "O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)! What should we do, if the blood of menses falls
on our clothes?" Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) replied, "If the blood of menses falls on the garment of anyone of
you, she must take hold of the blood spot, rub it, and wash it with water and then pray in (with it).
Whenever anyone of us got her menses, she, on becoming clean, used to take hold of the blood spot
and rub the blood off her garment, and pour water over it and wash that portion thoroughly and
sprinkle water over the rest of the garment. After that she would pray in (with) it.
Once one of the wives of the Prophet (ﷺ) did I`tikaf along with him and she was getting bleeding in
between her periods. She used to see the blood (from her private parts) and she would perhaps put a
dish under her for the blood. (The sub-narrator `Ikrima added, `Aisha once saw the liquid of safflower
and said, "It looks like what so and so used to have.")

Menstrual Periods - كتاب الحيض
Narrated `Aisha:
حَدَّثَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ بْنُ زُرَيْعٍ، عَنْ خَالِدٍ، عَنْ عِكْرِمَةَ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ، قَالَتِ اعْتَكَفَتْ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم امْرَأَةٌ مِنْ أَزْوَاجِهِ، فَكَانَتْ تَرَى الدَّمَ وَالصُّفْرَةَ، وَالطَّسْتُ تَحْتَهَا وَهْىَ تُصَلِّي.
"One of the wives of Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) joined him in I`tikaf and she noticed blood and yellowish
discharge (from her private parts) and put a dish under her when she prayed."
None of us had more than a single garment and we used to have our menses while wearing it.
Whenever it got soiled with blood of menses we used to apply saliva to the blood spot and rub off the
blood with our nails.
We were forbidden to mourn for a dead person for more than three days except in the case of a
husband for whom mourning was allowed for four months and ten days. (During that time) we were
not allowed to put kohl (Antimony eye power) in our eyes or to use perfumes or to put on colored
clothes except a dress made of `Asr (a kind of Yemen cloth, very coarse and rough). We were allowed
very light perfumes at the time of taking a bath after menses and also we were forbidden to go with
the funeral procession .
A woman asked the Prophet (ﷺ) about the bath which is taken after finishing from the menses. The Prophet (ﷺ)
told her what to do and said, "Purify yourself with a piece of cloth scented with musk." The woman
asked, "How shall I purify myself with it" He said, "Subhan Allah! Purify yourself (with it)." I pulled
her to myself and said, "Rub the place soiled with blood with it."

Menstrual Periods - كتاب الحيض
Narrated `Aisha:
حَدَّثَنَا مُسْلِمٌ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا وُهَيْبٌ، حَدَّثَنَا مَنْصُورٌ، عَنْ أُمِّهِ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ، أَنَّ امْرَأَةً، مِنَ الأَنْصَارِ قَالَتْ لِلنَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم كَيْفَ أَغْتَسِلُ مِنَ الْمَحِيضِ قَالَ " خُذِي فِرْصَةً مُمَسَّكَةً، فَتَوَضَّئِي ثَلاَثًا ". ثُمَّ إِنَّ النَّبِيَّ صلى الله عليه وسلم اسْتَحْيَا فَأَعْرَضَ بِوَجْهِهِ أَوْ قَالَ " تَوَضَّئِي بِهَا " فَأَخَذْتُهَا فَجَذَبْتُهَا فَأَخْبَرْتُهَا بِمَا يُرِيدُ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم.
An Ansari woman asked the Prophet (ﷺ) how to take a bath after finishing from the menses. He replied,
"Take a piece a cloth perfumed with musk and clean the private parts with it thrice." The Prophet (ﷺ) felt
shy and turned his face. So I pulled her to me and told her what the Prophet (ﷺ) meant.
In the last Hajj of Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) I assumed the Ihram for Hajj along with Allah Apostle. I was one of
those who intended Tamattu` (to perform Hajj and `Umra) and did not take the Hadi (animal for
sacrifice) with me. I got my menses and was not clean till the night of `Arafa I said, "O Allah's
Apostle! It is the night of the day of `Arafat and I intended to perform the Hajj Tamattu` with `Umra.
Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) told me to undo my hair and comb it and to postpone the `Umra. I did the same and
completed the Hajj. On the night of Al-Hasba (i.e. place outside Mecca where the pilgrims go after
finishing all the ceremonies of Hajj at Mina) he (the Prophet) ordered `Abdur Rahman (`Aisha's brother)
to take me to at-Tan`im to assume the lhram for `Umra in lieu of that of Hajj-at-Tamattu` which I had
intended to perform.
On the 1st of Dhul-Hijja we set out with the intention of performing Hajj. Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said, "Any
one who likes to assume the Ihram for `Umra he can do so. Had I not brought the Hadi with me, I
would have assumed the Ihram for `Umra. "Some of us assumed the Ihram for `Umra while the others
assumed the Ihram for Hajj. I was one of those who assumed the Ihram for `Umra. I got menses and
kept on menstruating until the day of `Arafat and complained of that to the Prophet. He told me to
postpone my `Umra, undo and comb my hair, and to assume the Ihram of Hajj and I did so. On the
night of Hasba, he sent my brother `Abdur-Rahman bin Abi Bakr with me to at-Tan`im, where I
assumed the Ihram for `Umra in lieu of the previous one. Hisham said, "For that (`Umra) no Hadi,
fasting or alms were required.
The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "At every womb Allah appoints an angel who says, 'O Lord! A drop of semen, O
Lord! A clot. O Lord! A little lump of flesh." Then if Allah wishes (to complete) its creation, the angel
asks, (O Lord!) Will it be a male or female, a wretched or a blessed, and how much will his provision
be? And what will his age be?' So all that is written while the child is still in the mother's womb."

Narrated `Urwa:
حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ بُكَيْرٍ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا اللَّيْثُ، عَنْ عُقَيْلٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ، عَنْ عُرْوَةَ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ، قَالَتْ خَرَجْنَا مَعَ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم فِي حَجَّةِ الْوَدَاعِ، فَمِنَّا مَنْ أَهَلَّ بِعُمْرَةٍ، وَمِنَّا مَنْ أَهَلَّ بِحَجٍّ، فَقَدِمْنَا مَكَّةَ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم
" مَنْ أَحْرَمَ بِعُمْرَةٍ وَلَمْ يُهْدِ فَلْيُحْلِلْ، وَمَنْ أَحْرَمَ بِعُمْرَةٍ وَأَهْدَى فَلاَ يَحِلُّ حَتَّى يَحِلَّ بِنَحْرِ هَدْيِهِ، وَمَنْ أَهَلَّ بِحَجٍّ فَلْيُتِمَّ حَجَّهُ ". قَالَتْ فَحِضْتُ فَلَمْ أَزَلْ حَائِضًا حَتَّى كَانَ يَوْمُ عَرَفَةَ، وَلَمْ أُهْلِلْ إِلاَّ بِعُمْرَةٍ، فَأَمَرَنِي النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم أَنْ أَنْقُضَ رَأْسِي وَأَمْتَشِطَ، وَأُهِلَّ بِحَجٍّ، وَأَتْرُكَ الْعُمْرَةَ، فَفَعَلْتُ ذَلِكَ حَتَّى قَضَيْتُ حَجِّي، فَبَعَثَ مَعِي عَبْدَ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنَ أَبِي بَكْرٍ، وَأَمَرَنِي أَنْ أَعْتَمِرَ مَكَانَ عُمْرَتِي مِنَ التَّنْعِيمِ.
`Aisha said, "We set out with the Prophet (ﷺ) in his last Hajj. Some of us intended to perform `Umra
while others Hajj. When we reached Mecca, Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said, 'Those who had assumed the lhram
for `Umra and had not brought the Hadi should finish his lhram and whoever had assumed the Ihram
for `Umra and brought the Hadi should not finish the Ihram till he has slaughtered his Hadi and
whoever had assumed the lhram for Hajj should complete his Hajj." `Aisha further said, "I got my
periods (menses) and kept on menstruating till the day of `Arafat, and I had assumed the Ihram for
`Umra only (Tamattu`). The Prophet (ﷺ) ordered me to undo and comb my head hair and assume the
lhram for Hajj only and leave the `Umra. I did the same till I completed the Hajj. Then the Prophet (ﷺ)
sent `Abdur Rahman bin Abi Bakr with me and ordered me to perform `Umra from at-Tan`im in lieu
of the missed `Umra."
Fatima bint Abi Hubaish used to have bleeding in between the periods, so she asked the Prophet (ﷺ) about
it. He replied, "The bleeding is from a blood vessel and not the menses. So give up the prayers when
the (real) menses begins and when it has finished, take a bath and start praying."

A woman asked `Aisha, "Should I offer the prayers that which I did not offer because of menses"
`Aisha said, "Are you from the Huraura' (a town in Iraq?) We were with the Prophet (ﷺ) and used to get
our periods but he never ordered us to offer them (the Prayers missed during menses)." `Aisha perhaps
said, "We did not offer them."

Um-Salama said, "I got my menses while I was lying with the Prophet (ﷺ) under a woolen sheet. So I
slipped away, took the clothes for menses and put them on. Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said, 'Have you got your
menses?' I replied, 'Yes.' Then he called me and took me with him under the woolen sheet." Um
Salama further said, "The Prophet (ﷺ) used to kiss me while he was fasting. The Prophet (ﷺ) and I used to

Hafsa said, 'We used to forbid our young women to go out for the two `Id prayers. A woman came
and stayed at the palace of Bani Khalaf and she narrated about her sister whose husband took part in
twelve holy battles along with the Prophet (ﷺ) and her sister was with her husband in six (out of these
twelve). She (the woman's sister) said, "We used to treat the wounded, look after the patients and once
I asked the Prophet, 'Is there any harm for any of us to stay at home if she doesn't have a veil?' He
said, 'She should cover herself with the veil of her companion and should participate in the good deeds
and in the religious gathering of the Muslims.' When Um `Atiya came I asked her whether she had
heard it from the Prophet. She replied, "Yes. May my father be sacrificed for him (the Prophet)!
(Whenever she mentioned the Prophet (ﷺ) she used to say, 'May my father be sacrificed for him) I have
heard the Prophet (ﷺ) saying, 'The unmarried young virgins and the mature girl who stay often screened or
the young unmarried virgins who often stay screened and the menstruating women should come out
and participate in the good deeds as well as the religious gathering of the faithful believers but the
menstruating women should keep away from the Musalla (praying place).' " Hafsa asked Um `Atiya
surprisingly, "Do you say the menstruating women?" She replied, "Doesn't a menstruating woman
attend `Arafat (Hajj) and such and such (other deeds)?"
Fatima bint Abi Hubaish asked the Prophet, "I got persistent bleeding (in between the periods) and do
not become clean. Shall I give up prayers?" He replied, "No, this is from a blood vessel. Give up the
prayers only for the days on which you usually get the menses and then take a bath and offer your
prayers."

(the wife of the Prophet) I told Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) that Safiya bint Huyai had got her menses. He said,
"She will probably delay us. Did she perform Tawaf (Al-Ifada) with you?" We replied, "Yes." On that
the Prophet (ﷺ) told her to depart.
A woman is allowed to leave (go back home) if she gets menses (after Tawaf-Al-Ifada). Ibn `Umar
formerly used to say that she should not leave but later on I heard him saying, "She may leave, since
Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) gave them the permission to leave (after Tawaf-Al-Ifada)."

(the wife of the Prophet) We set out with Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) on one of his journeys till we reached Al-
Baida' or Dhatul-Jaish, a necklace of mine was broken (and lost). Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) stayed there to
search for it, and so did the people along with him. There was no water at that place, so the people
went to Abu- Bakr As-Siddiq and said, "Don't you see what `Aisha has done? She has made Allah's
Apostle and the people stay where there is no water and they have no water with them." Abu Bakr
came while Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) was sleeping with his head on my thigh, He said, to me: "You have
detained Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) and the people where there is no water and they have no water with them.
So he admonished me and said what Allah wished him to say and hit me on my flank with his hand.
Nothing prevented me from moving (because of pain) but the position of Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) on my thigh.
Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) got up when dawn broke and there was no water. So Allah revealed the Divine Verses
of Tayammum. So they all performed Tayammum. Usaid bin Hudair said, "O the family of Abu Bakr!
This is not the first blessing of yours." Then the camel on which I was riding was caused to move
from its place and the necklace was found beneath it.
The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "I have been given five things which were not given to any one else before me.
-1. Allah made me victorious by awe, (by His frightening my enemies) for a distance of one month's
journey.
-2. The earth has been made for me (and for my followers) a place for praying and a thing to perform
Tayammum, therefore anyone of my followers can pray wherever the time of a prayer is due.
-3. The booty has been made Halal (lawful) for me yet it was not lawful for anyone else before me.
-4. I have been given the right of intercession (on the Day of Resurrection).
-5. Every Prophet used to be sent to his nation only but I have been sent to all mankind.

Rubbing hands and feet with dust (Tayammum) - كتاب التيمم
Narrated `Urwa's father:
حَدَّثَنَا زَكَرِيَّاءُ بْنُ يَحْيَى، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ نُمَيْرٍ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا هِشَامُ بْنُ عُرْوَةَ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ، أَنَّهَا اسْتَعَارَتْ مِنْ أَسْمَاءَ قِلاَدَةً فَهَلَكَتْ، فَبَعَثَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم رَجُلاً، فَوَجَدَهَا فَأَدْرَكَتْهُمُ الصَّلاَةُ وَلَيْسَ مَعَهُمْ مَاءٌ فَصَلَّوْا، فَشَكَوْا ذَلِكَ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم فَأَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ آيَةَ التَّيَمُّمِ. فَقَالَ أُسَيْدُ بْنُ حُضَيْرٍ لِعَائِشَةَ جَزَاكِ اللَّهُ خَيْرًا، فَوَاللَّهِ مَا نَزَلَ بِكِ أَمْرٌ تَكْرَهِينَهُ إِلاَّ جَعَلَ اللَّهُ ذَلِكِ لَكِ وَلِلْمُسْلِمِينَ فِيهِ خَيْرًا.
Aisha said, "I borrowed a necklace from Asma' and it was lost. So Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) sent a man to
search for it and he found it. Then the time of the prayer became due and there was no water. They
prayed (without ablution) and informed Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) about it, so the verse of Tayammum was
revealed." Usaid bin Hudair said to `Aisha, "May Allah reward you. By Allah, whenever anything
happened which you did not like, Allah brought good for you and for the Muslims in that."

Narrated Abu Juhaim Al-Ansari:
حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ بُكَيْرٍ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا اللَّيْثُ، عَنْ جَعْفَرِ بْنِ رَبِيعَةَ، عَنِ الأَعْرَجِ، قَالَ سَمِعْتُ عُمَيْرًا، مَوْلَى ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ قَالَ أَقْبَلْتُ أَنَا وَعَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ يَسَارٍ، مَوْلَى مَيْمُونَةَ زَوْجِ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم حَتَّى دَخَلْنَا عَلَى أَبِي جُهَيْمِ بْنِ الْحَارِثِ بْنِ الصِّمَّةِ الأَنْصَارِيِّ فَقَالَ أَبُو الْجُهَيْمِ أَقْبَلَ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم مِنْ نَحْوِ بِئْرِ جَمَلٍ، فَلَقِيَهُ رَجُلٌ فَسَلَّمَ عَلَيْهِ، فَلَمْ يَرُدَّ عَلَيْهِ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم حَتَّى أَقْبَلَ عَلَى الْجِدَارِ، فَمَسَحَ بِوَجْهِهِ وَيَدَيْهِ، ثُمَّ رَدَّ عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَمَ.
The Prophet (ﷺ) came from the direction of Bir Jamal. A man met him and greeted him. But he did not
return back the greeting till he went to a (mud) wall and wiped his face and hands with its dust
(performed Tayammum) and then returned back the greeting.

Rubbing hands and feet with dust (Tayammum) - كتاب التيمم
Narrated `Abdur Rahman bin Abza [??]:
حَدَّثَنَا آدَمُ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، حَدَّثَنَا الْحَكَمُ، عَنْ ذَرٍّ، عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ أَبْزَى، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، قَالَ جَاءَ رَجُلٌ إِلَى عُمَرَ بْنِ الْخَطَّابِ فَقَالَ إِنِّي أَجْنَبْتُ فَلَمْ أُصِبِ الْمَاءَ. فَقَالَ عَمَّارُ بْنُ يَاسِرٍ لِعُمَرَ بْنِ الْخَطَّابِ أَمَا تَذْكُرُ أَنَّا كُنَّا فِي سَفَرٍ أَنَا وَأَنْتَ فَأَمَّا أَنْتَ فَلَمْ تُصَلِّ، وَأَمَّا أَنَا فَتَمَعَّكْتُ فَصَلَّيْتُ، فَذَكَرْتُ لِلنَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم
" إِنَّمَا كَانَ يَكْفِيكَ هَكَذَا ". فَضَرَبَ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم بِكَفَّيْهِ الأَرْضَ، وَنَفَخَ فِيهِمَا ثُمَّ مَسَحَ بِهِمَا وَجْهَهُ وَكَفَّيْهِ.
A man came to `Umar bin Al-Khattab and said, "I became Junub but no water was available."
`Ammar bin Yasir said to `Umar, "Do you remember that you and I (became Junub while both of us)
were together on a journey and you didn't pray but I rolled myself on the ground and prayed? I
informed the Prophet (ﷺ) about it and he said, 'It would have been sufficient for you to do like this.' The
Prophet then stroked lightly the earth with his hands and then blew off the dust and passed his hands
over his face and hands."
(on the authority of his father who said) `Ammar said so (the above Statement). And Shu`ba stroked
lightly the earth with his hands and brought them close to his mouth (blew off the dust) and passed
them over his face and then the backs of his hands. `Ammar said, "Ablution (meaning Tayammum
here) is sufficient for a Muslim if water is not available."
that while he was in the company of `Umar, `Ammar said to `Umar, "We were in a detachment and
became Junub and I blew the dust off my hands (performed the rolling over the earth and prayed.)"

Rubbing hands and feet with dust (Tayammum) - كتاب التيمم
Narrated `Abdur Rahman bin Abza:
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ كَثِيرٍ، أَخْبَرَنَا شُعْبَةُ، عَنِ الْحَكَمِ، عَنْ ذَرٍّ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ أَبْزَى، عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ، قَالَ قَالَ عَمَّارٌ لِعُمَرَ تَمَعَّكْتُ فَأَتَيْتُ النَّبِيَّ صلى الله عليه وسلم فَقَالَ
" يَكْفِيكَ الْوَجْهُ وَالْكَفَّانِ ".
`Ammar said to `Umar "I rolled myself in the dust and came to the Prophet (ﷺ) who said, 'Passing dusted
hands over the face and the backs of the hands is sufficient for you.' "
Once we were traveling with the Prophet (ﷺ) and we carried on traveling till the last part of the night and
then we (halted at a place) and slept (deeply). There is nothing sweeter than sleep for a traveler in the
last part of the night. So it was only the heat of the sun that made us to wake up and the first to wake
up was so and so, then so and so and then so and so (the narrator `Auf said that Abu Raja' had told
him their names but he had forgotten them) and the fourth person to wake up was `Umar bin Al-
Khattab. And whenever the Prophet (ﷺ) used to sleep, nobody would wake up him till he himself used to
get up as we did not know what was happening (being revealed) to him in his sleep. So, `Umar got up
and saw the condition of the people, and he was a strict man, so he said, "Allahu Akbar" and raised his
voice with Takbir, and kept on saying loudly till the Prophet (ﷺ) got up because of it. When he got up, the
people informed him about what had happened to them. He said, "There is no harm (or it will not be
harmful). Depart!" So they departed from that place, and after covering some distance the Prophet (ﷺ)
stopped and asked for some water to perform the ablution. So he performed the ablution and the call
for the prayer was pronounced and he led the people in prayer. After he finished from the prayer, he
saw a man sitting aloof who had not prayed with the people. He asked, "O so and so! What has
prevented you from praying with us?" He replied, "I am Junub and there is no water. " The Prophet (ﷺ)
said, "Perform Tayammum with (clean) earth and that is sufficient for you."
Then the Prophet (ﷺ) proceeded on and the people complained to him of thirst. Thereupon he got down
and called a person (the narrator `Auf added that Abu Raja' had named him but he had forgotten) and
`Ali, and ordered them to go and bring water. So they went in search of water and met a woman who
was sitting on her camel between two bags of water. They asked, "Where can we find water?" She
replied, "I was there (at the place of water) this hour yesterday and my people are behind me." They
requested her to accompany them. She asked, "Where?" They said, "To Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) ." She said,
"Do you mean the man who is called the Sabi, (with a new religion)?" They replied, "Yes, the same
person. So come along." They brought her to the Prophet (ﷺ) and narrated the whole story. He said, "Help
her to dismount." The Prophet (ﷺ) asked for a pot, then he opened the mouths of the bags and poured
some water into the pot. Then he closed the big openings of the bags and opened the small ones and
the people were called upon to drink and water their animals.
So they all watered their animals and they (too) all quenched their thirst and also gave water to others
and last of all the Prophet (ﷺ) gave a pot full of water to the person who was Junub and told him to pour it
over his body. The woman was standing and watching all that which they were doing with her water.
By Allah, when her water bags were returned the looked like as if they were more full (of water) than
they had been before (Miracle of Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)) Then the Prophet (ﷺ) ordered us to collect something
for her; so dates, flour and Sawiq were collected which amounted to a good meal that was put in a
piece of cloth. She was helped to ride on her camel and that cloth full of foodstuff was also placed in
front of her and then the Prophet (ﷺ) said to her, "We have not taken your water but Allah has given water
to us." She returned home late. Her relatives asked her: "O so and so what has delayed you?" She said,
"A strange thing! Two men met me and took me to the man who is called the Sabi' and he did such
and such a thing. By Allah, he is either the greatest magician between this and this (gesturing with her
index and middle fingers raising them towards the sky indicating the heaven and the earth) or he is
Allah's true Apostle."
Afterwards the Muslims used to attack the pagans around her abode but never touched her village.
One day she said to her people, "I think that these people leave you purposely. Have you got any
inclination to Islam?" They obeyed her and all of them embraced Islam.
Abu `Abdullah said: The word Saba'a means "The one who has deserted his old religion and embraced
a new religion." Abul 'Ailya [??] said, "The S`Abis are a sect of people of the Scripture who recite the
Book of Psalms."
Abu Musa said to `Abdullah bin Mas`ud, "If one does not find water (for ablution) can he give up the
prayer?" `Abdullah replied, "If you give the permission to perform Tayammum they will perform
Tayammum even if water was available if one of them found it cold." Abu Musa said, "What about
the statement of `Ammar to `Umar?" `Abdullah replied, "`Umar was not satisfied by his statement."
I was with `Abdullah and Abu Musa; the latter asked the former, "O Abu `Abdur-Rahman! What is
your opinion if somebody becomes Junub and no water is available?" `Abdullah replied, "Do not pray
till water is found." Abu Musa said, "What do you say about the statement of `Ammar (who was
ordered by the Prophet (ﷺ) to perform Tayammum). The Prophet (ﷺ) said to him: "Perform Tayammum and
that would be sufficient." `Abdullah replied, "Don't you see that `Umar was not satisfied by `Ammar's
statement?" Abu- Musa said, "All right, leave `Ammar's statement, but what will you say about this
verse (of Tayammum)?" `Abdullah kept quiet and then said, "If we allowed it, then they would
probably perform Tayammum even if water was available, if one of them found it (water) cold." The
narrator added, "I said to Shaqiq, "Then did `Abdullah dislike to perform Tayammum because of
this?" He replied, "Yes."
Shaqiq said, "While I was sitting with `Abdullah and Abu Musa Al-Ash`ari, the latter asked the
former, 'If a person becomes Junub and does not find water for one month, can he perform
Tayammum and offer his prayer?' (He applied in the negative). Abu Musa said, 'What do you say
about this verse from Sura "Al-Ma'ida": When you do not find water then perform Tayammum with
clean earth? `Abdullah replied, 'If we allowed it then they would probably perform Tayammum with
clean earth even if water were available but cold.' I said to Shaqiq, 'You then disliked to perform
Tayammum because of this?' Shaqiq said, 'Yes.' (Shaqiq added), "Abu Musa said, 'Haven't you heard
the statement of `Ammar to `Umar? He said: I was sent out by Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) for some job and I
became Junub and could not find water so I rolled myself over the dust (clean earth) like an animal
does, and when I told the Prophet (ﷺ) of that he said, 'Like this would have been sufficient.' The Prophet (ﷺ)
(saying so) lightly stroked the earth with his hand once and blew it off, then passed his (left) hand over
the back of his right hand or his (right) hand over the back of his left hand and then passed them over
his face.' So `Abdullah said to Abu- Musa, 'Don't you know that `Umar was not satisfied with
`Ammar's statement?' "
Narrated Shaqiq: While I was with `Abdullah and Abu Musa, the latter said to the former, "Haven't
you heard the statement of `Ammar to `Umar? He said, "Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) sent you and me out and I
became Junub and rolled myself in the dust (clean earth) (for Tayammum). When we came to Allah's
Apostle I told him about it and he said, 'This would have been sufficient,' passing his hands over his
face and the backs of his hands once only.' "
Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) saw a person sitting aloof and not praying with the people. He asked him, "O so and
so! What prevented you from offering the prayer with the people?" He replied, "O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)! I
am Junub and there is no water." The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Perform Tayammum with clean earth and that
will be sufficient for you."
Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said, "While I was at Mecca the roof of my house was opened and Gabriel descended,
opened my chest, and washed it with Zamzam water. Then he brought a golden tray full of wisdom
and faith and having poured its contents into my chest, he closed it. Then he took my hand and
ascended with me to the nearest heaven, when I reached the nearest heaven, Gabriel said to the
gatekeeper of the heaven, 'Open (the gate).' The gatekeeper asked, 'Who is it?' Gabriel answered:
'Gabriel.' He asked, 'Is there anyone with you?' Gabriel replied, 'Yes, Muhammad I is with me.' He
asked, 'Has he been called?' Gabriel said, 'Yes.' So the gate was opened and we went over the nearest
heaven and there we saw a man sitting with some people on his right and some on his left. When he
looked towards his right, he laughed and when he looked toward his left he wept. Then he said,
'Welcome! O pious Prophet and pious son.' I asked Gabriel, 'Who is he?' He replied, 'He is Adam and
the people on his right and left are the souls of his offspring. Those on his right are the people of
Paradise and those on his left are the people of Hell and when he looks towards his right he laughs and
when he looks towards his left he weeps.'
Then he ascended with me till he reached the second heaven and he (Gabriel) said to its gatekeeper,
'Open (the gate).' The gatekeeper said to him the same as the gatekeeper of the first heaven had said
and he opened the gate. Anas said: "Abu Dhar added that the Prophet (ﷺ) met Adam, Idris, Moses, Jesus
and Abraham, he (Abu Dhar) did not mention on which heaven they were but he mentioned that he
(the Prophet (ﷺ) ) met Adam on the nearest heaven and Abraham on the sixth heaven. Anas said, "When
Gabriel along with the Prophet (ﷺ) passed by Idris, the latter said, 'Welcome! O pious Prophet and pious
brother.' The Prophet (ﷺ) asked, 'Who is he?' Gabriel replied, 'He is Idris." The Prophet (ﷺ) added, "I passed
by Moses and he said, 'Welcome! O pious Prophet and pious brother.' I asked Gabriel, 'Who is he?'
Gabriel replied, 'He is Moses.' Then I passed by Jesus and he said, 'Welcome! O pious brother and
pious Prophet.' I asked, 'Who is he?' Gabriel replied, 'He is Jesus.
Then I passed by Abraham and he said, 'Welcome! O pious Prophet and pious son.' I asked Gabriel,
'Who is he?' Gabriel replied, 'He is Abraham. The Prophet (ﷺ) added, 'Then Gabriel ascended with me to a
place where I heard the creaking of the pens." Ibn Hazm and Anas bin Malik said: The Prophet (ﷺ) said,
"Then Allah enjoined fifty prayers on my followers when I returned with this order of Allah, I passed
by Moses who asked me, 'What has Allah enjoined on your followers?' I replied, 'He has enjoined
fifty prayers on them.' Moses said, 'Go back to your Lord (and appeal for reduction) for your followers
will not be able to bear it.' (So I went back to Allah and requested for reduction) and He reduced it to
half. When I passed by Moses again and informed him about it, he said, 'Go back to your Lord as your
followers will not be able to bear it.' So I returned to Allah and requested for further reduction and
half of it was reduced. I again passed by Moses and he said to me: 'Return to your Lord, for your
followers will not be able to bear it. So I returned to Allah and He said, 'These are five prayers and
they are all (equal to) fifty (in reward) for My Word does not change.' I returned to Moses and he told
me to go back once again. I replied, 'Now I feel shy of asking my Lord again.' Then Gabriel took me
till we '' reached Sidrat-il-Muntaha (Lote tree of; the utmost boundary) which was shrouded in colors,
indescribable. Then I was admitted into Paradise where I found small (tents or) walls (made) of pearls
and its earth was of musk."
the mother of believers: Allah enjoined the prayer when He enjoined it, it was two rak`at only (in
every prayer) both when in residence or on journey. Then the prayers offered on journey remained the
same, but (the rak`at of) the prayers for non-travelers were increased.
We were ordered to bring out our menstruating women and veiled women in the religious gatherings
and invocation of Muslims on the two `Id festivals. These menstruating women were to keep away
from their Musalla. A woman asked, "O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) ' What about one who does not have a veil?"
He said, "Let her share the veil of her companion."
Once Jabir prayed with his Izar tied to his back while his clothes were Lying beside him on a wooden
peg. Somebody asked him, "Do you offer your prayer in a single Izar?" He replied, "I did so to show it
to a fool like you. Had anyone of us two garments in the lifetime of the Prophet?"

'Welcome! O Um Hani.' When he finished his bath he stood up and prayed eight rak`at while wearing
a single garment wrapped round his body and when he finished I said, 'O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) ! My brother
has told me that he will kill a person whom I gave shelter and that person is so and so the son of
Hubaira.' The Prophet (ﷺ) said, 'We shelter the person whom you have sheltered.' " Um Hani added, "And

during some of his journeys, and I came to him at night for some purpose and I found him praying. At
that time, I was wearing a single garment with which I covered my shoulders and prayed by his side.
When he finished the prayer, he asked, 'O Jabir! What has brought you here?' I told him what I
wanted. When I finished, he asked, 'O Jabir! What is this garment which I have seen and with which
you covered your shoulders?' I replied, 'It is a (tight) garment.' He said, 'If the garment is large
enough, wrap it round the body (covering the shoulders) and if it is tight (too short) then use it as an
Izar (tie it around your waist only.)' "

hands over his Khuff (socks made from thick fabric or leather) and then prayed .

While Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) was carrying stones (along) with the people of Mecca for (the building of) the
Ka`ba wearing an Izar (waist-sheet cover), his uncle Al-`Abbas said to him, "O my nephew! (It would
be better) if you take off your Izar and put it over your shoulders underneath the stones." So he took
off his Izar and put it over his shoulders, but he fell unconscious and since then he had never been

every one of you two garments?" A man put a similar question to `Umar on which he replied, "When
Allah makes you wealthier then you should clothe yourself properly during prayers. Otherwise one
can pray with an Izar and a Rida' (a sheet covering the upper part of the body.) Izar and a shirt, Izar
and a Qaba', trousers and a Rida, trousers and a shirt or trousers and a Qaba', Tubban and a Qaba' or
Tubban and a shirt." (The narrator added, "I think that he also said a Tubban and a Rida. ")

Narrated Ibn `Umar:
حَدَّثَنَا عَاصِمُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ أَبِي ذِئْبٍ، عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ، عَنْ سَالِمٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ، قَالَ سَأَلَ رَجُلٌ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم فَقَالَ مَا يَلْبَسُ الْمُحْرِمُ فَقَالَ
" لاَ يَلْبَسُ الْقَمِيصَ وَلاَ السَّرَاوِيلَ وَلاَ الْبُرْنُسَ وَلاَ ثَوْبًا مَسَّهُ الزَّعْفَرَانُ وَلاَ وَرْسٌ، فَمَنْ لَمْ يَجِدِ النَّعْلَيْنِ فَلْيَلْبَسِ الْخُفَّيْنِ وَلْيَقْطَعْهُمَا حَتَّى يَكُونَا أَسْفَلَ مِنَ الْكَعْبَيْنِ ". وَعَنْ نَافِعٍ عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم مِثْلَهُ.
A person asked Allah's Messenger (ﷺ), "What should a Muhrim wear?" He replied, "He should not wear
shirts, trousers, a burnus (a hooded cloak), or clothes which are stained with saffron or Wars (a kind of
perfume). Whoever does not find a sandal to wear can wear Khuffs (socks made from thick fabric or
leather), but these should be cut short so as not to cover the ankles.
Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) forbade Ishtimal-As-Samma' (wrapping one's body with a garment so that one cannot
raise its end or take one's hand out of it). He also forbade Al-Ihtiba' (sitting on buttocks with knees
close to `Abdomen and feet apart with the hands circling the knees) while wrapping oneself with a
single garment, without having a part of it over the private parts.

Narrated Abu Huraira:
حَدَّثَنَا قَبِيصَةُ بْنُ عُقْبَةَ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ، عَنْ أَبِي الزِّنَادِ، عَنِ الأَعْرَجِ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، قَالَ نَهَى النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم عَنْ بَيْعَتَيْنِ عَنِ اللِّمَاسِ وَالنِّبَاذِ، وَأَنْ يَشْتَمِلَ الصَّمَّاءَ، وَأَنْ يَحْتَبِيَ الرَّجُلُ فِي ثَوْبٍ وَاحِدٍ.
The Prophet (ﷺ) forbade two kinds of sales i.e. Al-Limais and An-Nibadh (the former is a kind of sale in
which the deal is completed if the buyer touches a thing, without seeing or checking it properly and
the latter is a kind of a sale in which the deal is completed when the seller throws a thing towards the
buyer giving him no opportunity to see, touch or check it) and (the Prophet (ﷺ) forbade) also Ishtimal-As-
Samma' and Al-Ihtiba' in a single garment.
On the Day of Nahr (10th of Dhul-Hijja, in the year prior to the last Hajj of the Prophet (ﷺ) when Abu
Bakr was the leader of the pilgrims in that Hajj) Abu Bakr sent me along with other announcers to
Mina to make a public announcement: "No pagan is allowed to perform Hajj after this year and no
naked person is allowed to perform the Tawaf around the Ka`ba. Then Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) sent `Ali to
read out the Surat Bara'a (at-Tauba) to the people; so he made the announcement along with us on the
day of Nahr in Mina: "No pagan is allowed to perform Hajj after this year and no naked person is
allowed to perform the Tawaf around the Ka`ba."
I went to Jabir bin `Abdullah and he was praying wrapped in a garment and his Rida was Lying beside
him. When he finished the prayers, I said "O `Abdullah! You pray (in a single garment) while your
Rida' is lying beside you." He replied, "Yes, I did it intentionally so that the ignorant ones like you
might see me. I saw the Prophet (ﷺ) praying like this. "

Anas said, 'When Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) invaded Khaibar, we offered the Fajr prayer there (early in the
morning) when it was still dark. The Prophet (ﷺ) rode and Abu Talha rode too and I was riding behind
Abu Talha. The Prophet (ﷺ) passed through the lane of Khaibar quickly and my knee was touching the
thigh of the Prophet (ﷺ) . He uncovered his thigh and I saw the whiteness of the thigh of the Prophet.
When he entered the town, he said, 'Allahu Akbar! Khaibar is ruined. Whenever we approach near a
(hostile) nation (to fight) then evil will be the morning of those who have been warned.' He repeated
this thrice. The people came out for their jobs and some of them said, 'Muhammad (has come).' (Some
of our companions added, "With his army.") We conquered Khaibar, took the captives, and the booty
was collected. Dihya came and said, 'O Allah's Prophet! Give me a slave girl from the captives.' The
Prophet said, 'Go and take any slave girl.' He took Safiya bint Huyai. A man came to the Prophet (ﷺ) and
said, 'O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)s! You gave Safiya bint Huyai to Dihya and she is the chief mistress of the
tribes of Quraidha and An-Nadir and she befits none but you.' So the Prophet (ﷺ) said, 'Bring him along
with her.' So Dihya came with her and when the Prophet (ﷺ) saw her, he said to Dihya, 'Take any slave
girl other than her from the captives.' Anas added: The Prophet (ﷺ) then manumitted her and married her."
Thabit asked Anas, "O Abu Hamza! What did the Prophet (ﷺ) pay her (as Mahr)?" He said, "Her self was
her Mahr for he manumitted her and then married her." Anas added, "While on the way, Um Sulaim
dressed her for marriage (ceremony) and at night she sent her as a bride to the Prophet (ﷺ) . So the
Prophet was a bridegroom and he said, 'Whoever has anything (food) should bring it.' He spread out a
leather sheet (for the food) and some brought dates and others cooking butter. (I think he (Anas)
mentioned As-Sawaq). So they prepared a dish of Hais (a kind of meal). And that was Walima (the
marriage banquet) of Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) ."

حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ يُونُسَ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ سَعْدٍ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ شِهَابٍ، عَنْ عُرْوَةَ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ، أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صلى الله عليه وسلم صَلَّى فِي خَمِيصَةٍ لَهَا أَعْلاَمٌ، فَنَظَرَ إِلَى أَعْلاَمِهَا نَظْرَةً، فَلَمَّا انْصَرَفَ قَالَ " اذْهَبُوا بِخَمِيصَتِي هَذِهِ إِلَى أَبِي جَهْمٍ وَائْتُونِي بِأَنْبِجَانِيَّةِ أَبِي جَهْمٍ، فَإِنَّهَا أَلْهَتْنِي آنِفًا عَنْ صَلاَتِي ". وَقَالَ هِشَامُ بْنُ عُرْوَةَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ عَائِشَةَ قَالَ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم " كُنْتُ أَنْظُرُ إِلَى عَلَمِهَا وَأَنَا فِي الصَّلاَةِ فَأَخَافُ أَنْ تَفْتِنَنِي ".
the Prophet (ﷺ) prayed in a Khamisa (a square garment) having marks. During the prayer, he looked at its
marks. So when he finished the prayer he said, "Take this Khamisa of mine to Abu Jahm and get me
his Inbijaniya (a woolen garment without marks) as it (the Khamisa) has diverted my attention from
the prayer."
Narrated `Aisha:
The Prophet (ﷺ) said, 'I was looking at its (Khamisa's) marks during the prayers and I was afraid that it
may put me in trial (by taking away my attention).
`Aisha had a Qiram (a thin marked woolen curtain) with which she had screened one side of her home.
The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Take away this Qiram of yours, as its pictures are still displayed in front of me
during my prayer (i.e. they divert my attention from the prayer).
The Prophet (ﷺ) was given a silken Farruj [??] as a present. He wore it while praying. When he had
finished his prayer, he took it off violently as if with a strong aversion to it and said, "It is not the
dress of Allah-fearing pious people."

حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَرْعَرَةَ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي عُمَرُ بْنُ أَبِي زَائِدَةَ، عَنْ عَوْنِ بْنِ أَبِي جُحَيْفَةَ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، قَالَ رَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم فِي قُبَّةٍ حَمْرَاءَ مِنْ أَدَمٍ، وَرَأَيْتُ بِلاَلاً أَخَذَ وَضُوءَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم وَرَأَيْتُ النَّاسَ يَبْتَدِرُونَ ذَاكَ الْوَضُوءَ، فَمَنْ أَصَابَ مِنْهُ شَيْئًا تَمَسَّحَ بِهِ، وَمَنْ لَمْ يُصِبْ مِنْهُ شَيْئًا أَخَذَ مِنْ بَلَلِ يَدِ صَاحِبِهِ، ثُمَّ رَأَيْتُ بِلاَلاً أَخَذَ عَنَزَةً فَرَكَزَهَا، وَخَرَجَ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم فِي حُلَّةٍ حَمْرَاءَ مُشَمِّرًا، صَلَّى إِلَى الْعَنَزَةِ بِالنَّاسِ رَكْعَتَيْنِ، وَرَأَيْتُ النَّاسَ وَالدَّوَابَّ يَمُرُّونَ مِنْ بَيْنِ يَدَىِ الْعَنَزَةِ.
I saw Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) in a red leather tent and I saw Bilal taking the remaining water with which the
Prophet had performed ablution. I saw the people taking the utilized water impatiently and whoever
got some of it rubbed it on his body and those who could not get any took the moisture from the
others' hands. Then I saw Bilal carrying a short spear (or stick) which he planted in the ground. The
Prophet came out tucking up his red cloak, and led the people in prayer and offered two rak`at (facing
the Ka`ba) taking a short spear (or stick) as a Sutra for his prayer. I saw the people and animals
passing in front of him beyond the stick.
Sahl bin Sa`d was asked about the (Prophet's) pulpit as to what thing it was made of? Sahl replied:
"None remains alive amongst the people, who knows about it better than I. It was made of tamarisk
(wood) of the forest. So and so, the slave of so and so prepared it for Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) . When it was
constructed and place (in the Mosque), Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) stood on it facing the Qibla and said 'Allahu
Akbar', and the people stood behind him (and led the people in prayer). He recited and bowed and the
people bowed behind him. Then he raised his head and stepped back, got down and prostrated on the
ground and then he again ascended the pulpit, recited, bowed, raised his head and stepped back, got
down and prostrate on the ground. So, this is what I know about the pulpit."
Ahmad bin Hanbal said, "As the Prophet (ﷺ) was at a higher level than the people, there is no harm
according to the above-mentioned Hadith if the Imam is at a higher level than his followers during the
prayers."
Once Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) fell off a horse and his leg or shoulder got injured. He swore that he would not
go to his wives for one month and he stayed in a Mashruba [??] (attic room) having stairs made of
date palm trunks. So his companions came to visit him, and he led them in prayer sitting, whereas his
companions were standing. When he finished the prayer, he said, "Imam is meant to be followed, so
when he says 'Allahu Akbar,' say 'Allahu Akbar' and when he bows, bow and when he prostrates,
prostrate and if he prays standing pray, standing. After the 29th day the Prophet (ﷺ) came down (from the
attic room) and the people asked him, "O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)! You swore that you will not go to your
wives for one month." He said, "The month is 29 days."

Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said, "I have been ordered to fight the people till they say: 'None has the right to be
worshipped but Allah.' And if they say so, pray like our prayers, face our Qibla and slaughter as we
slaughter, then their blood and property will be sacred to us and we will not interfere with them except
legally and their reckoning will be with Allah."

Abraham) and then performed the Tawaf (Sa`i) of Safa and Marwa, and verily in Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) you
have a good example." Then we put the same question to Jabir bin `Abdullah and he too replied, "He
should not go near his wife (for sexual relation) till he has finished the Tawaf of Safa and Marwa."

Narrated Mujahid:
حَدَّثَنَا مُسَدَّدٌ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى، عَنْ سَيْفٍ، قَالَ سَمِعْتُ مُجَاهِدًا، قَالَ أُتِيَ ابْنُ عُمَرَ فَقِيلَ لَهُ هَذَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم دَخَلَ الْكَعْبَةَ. فَقَالَ ابْنُ عُمَرَ فَأَقْبَلْتُ وَالنَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَدْ خَرَجَ، وَأَجِدُ بِلاَلاً قَائِمًا بَيْنَ الْبَابَيْنِ، فَسَأَلْتُ بِلاَلاً فَقُلْتُ أَصَلَّى النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم فِي الْكَعْبَةِ قَالَ نَعَمْ رَكْعَتَيْنِ بَيْنَ السَّارِيَتَيْنِ اللَّتَيْنِ عَلَى يَسَارِهِ إِذَا دَخَلْتَ، ثُمَّ خَرَجَ فَصَلَّى فِي وَجْهِ الْكَعْبَةِ رَكْعَتَيْنِ.
Someone came to Ibn `Umar and said, "Here is Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) entering the Ka`ba." Ibn `Umar said,
"I went there but the Prophet (ﷺ) had come out of the Ka`ba and I found Bilal standing between its two
doors. I asked Bilal, 'Did the Prophet (ﷺ) pray in the Ka`ba?' Bilal replied, 'Yes, he prayed two rak`at
between the two pillars which are to your left on entering the Ka`ba. Then Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) came out
and offered a two-rak`at prayer facing the Ka`ba.' "
When the Prophet (ﷺ) entered the Ka`ba, he invoked Allah in each and every side of it and did not pray
till he came out of it, and offered a two-rak`at prayer facing the Ka`ba and said, "This is the Qibla."

Narrated Bara' bin `Azib:
حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ رَجَاءٍ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا إِسْرَائِيلُ، عَنْ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ، عَنِ الْبَرَاءِ بْنِ عَازِبٍ ـ رضى الله عنهما ـ قَالَ كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم صَلَّى نَحْوَ بَيْتِ الْمَقْدِسِ سِتَّةَ عَشَرَ أَوْ سَبْعَةَ عَشَرَ شَهْرًا، وَكَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم يُحِبُّ أَنْ يُوَجَّهَ إِلَى الْكَعْبَةِ، فَأَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ {قَدْ نَرَى تَقَلُّبَ وَجْهِكَ فِي السَّمَاءِ} فَتَوَجَّهَ نَحْوَ الْكَعْبَةِ، وَقَالَ السُّفَهَاءُ مِنَ النَّاسِ ـ وَهُمُ الْيَهُودُ ـ مَا وَلاَّهُمْ عَنْ قِبْلَتِهِمُ الَّتِي كَانُوا عَلَيْهَا {قُلْ لِلَّهِ الْمَشْرِقُ وَالْمَغْرِبُ يَهْدِي مَنْ يَشَاءُ إِلَى صِرَاطٍ مُسْتَقِيمٍ} فَصَلَّى مَعَ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم رَجُلٌ ثُمَّ خَرَجَ بَعْدَ مَا صَلَّى، فَمَرَّ عَلَى قَوْمٍ مِنَ الأَنْصَارِ فِي صَلاَةِ الْعَصْرِ نَحْوَ بَيْتِ الْمَقْدِسِ فَقَالَ هُوَ يَشْهَدُ أَنَّهُ صَلَّى مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم، وَأَنَّهُ تَوَجَّهَ نَحْوَ الْكَعْبَةِ. فَتَحَرَّفَ الْقَوْمُ حَتَّى تَوَجَّهُوا نَحْوَ الْكَعْبَةِ.
Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) prayed facing Baitul-Maqdis for sixteen or seventeen months but he loved to face the
Ka`ba (at Mecca) so Allah revealed: "Verily, We have seen the turning of your face to the heaven!"
(2:144) So the Prophet (ﷺ) faced the Ka`ba and the fools amongst the people namely "the Jews" said,
"What has turned them from their Qibla (Baitul-Maqdis) which they formerly observed"" (Allah
revealed): "Say: 'To Allah belongs the East and the West. He guides whom he will to a straight path'."
(2:142) A man prayed with the Prophet (facing the Ka`ba) and went out. He saw some of the Ansar
praying the `Asr prayer with their faces towards Baitul-Maqdis, he said, "I bear witness that I prayed
with Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) facing the Ka`ba." So all the people turned their faces towards the Ka`ba.

Narrated Jabir:
حَدَّثَنَا مُسْلِمٌ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا هِشَامٌ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ أَبِي كَثِيرٍ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ، عَنْ جَابِرٍ، قَالَ كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم يُصَلِّي عَلَى رَاحِلَتِهِ حَيْثُ تَوَجَّهَتْ، فَإِذَا أَرَادَ الْفَرِيضَةَ نَزَلَ فَاسْتَقْبَلَ الْقِبْلَةَ.
Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) used to pray (optional, non-obligatory prayer) while riding on his mount (Rahila)
wherever it turned, and whenever he wanted to pray the compulsory prayer he dismounted and prayed
facing the Qibla.
The Prophet (ﷺ) prayed (and the sub-narrator Ibrahim said, "I do not know whether he prayed more or less
than usual"), and when he had finished the prayers he was asked, "O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)! Has there been
any change in the prayers?" He said, "What is it?' The people said, "You have prayed so much and so
much." So the Prophet (ﷺ) bent his legs, faced the Qibla and performed two prostration's (of Sahu) and
finished his prayers with Taslim (by turning his face to right and left saying: 'As-Salamu `Alaikum-
Warahmat-ullah'). When he turned his face to us he said, "If there had been anything changed in the
prayer, surely I would have informed you but I am a human being like you and liable to forget like
you. So if I forget remind me and if anyone of you is doubtful about his prayer, he should follow what
he thinks to be correct and complete his prayer accordingly and finish it and do two prostrations (of
Sahu).
My Lord agreed with me in three things:
-1. I said, "O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ), I wish we took the station of Abraham as our praying place (for some of
our prayers). So came the Divine Inspiration: And take you (people) the station of Abraham as a place
of prayer (for some of your prayers e.g. two rak`at of Tawaf of Ka`ba)". (2.125)
-2. And as regards the (verse of) the veiling of the women, I said, 'O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)! I wish you
ordered your wives to cover themselves from the men because good and bad ones talk to them.' So the
verse of the veiling of the women was revealed.
-3. Once the wives of the Prophet (ﷺ) made a united front against the Prophet (ﷺ) and I said to them, 'It may
be if he (the Prophet) divorced you, (all) that his Lord (Allah) will give him instead of you wives
better than you.' So this verse (the same as I had said) was revealed." (66.5).
While the people were offering the Fajr prayer at Quba' (near Medina), someone came to them and
said: "It has been revealed to Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) tonight, and he has been ordered to pray facing the
Ka`ba." So turn your faces to the Ka`ba. Those people were facing Sham (Jerusalem) so they turned
their faces towards Ka`ba (at Mecca).
"Once the Prophet (ﷺ) offered five rak`at in Zuhr prayer. He was asked, "Is there an increase in the
prayer?" The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "And what is it?" They said, "You have prayed five rak`at.' So he bent his
legs and performed two prostrations (of Sahu).
The Prophet (ﷺ) saw some sputum in the direction of the Qibla (on the wall of the mosque) and he
disliked that and the sign of disgust was apparent from his face. So he got up and scraped it off with
his hand and said, "Whenever anyone of you stands for the prayer, he is speaking in private to his
Lord or his Lord is between him and his Qibla. So, none of you should spit in the direction of the
Qibla but one can spit to the left or under his foot." The Prophet (ﷺ) then took the corner of his sheet and
spat in it and folded it and said, "Or you can do this. "
