Chapter 18: It is forbidden to clean the private parts with the right hand - كتاب الوضوء
Narrated Abu Qatada:
حَدَّثَنَا مُعَاذُ بْنُ فَضَالَةَ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا هِشَامٌ ـ هُوَ الدَّسْتَوَائِيُّ ـ عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ أَبِي كَثِيرٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ أَبِي قَتَادَةَ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم
" إِذَا شَرِبَ أَحَدُكُمْ فَلاَ يَتَنَفَّسْ فِي الإِنَاءِ، وَإِذَا أَتَى الْخَلاَءَ فَلاَ يَمَسَّ ذَكَرَهُ بِيَمِينِهِ، وَلاَ يَتَمَسَّحْ بِيَمِينِهِ ".
Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said, "Whenever anyone of you drinks water, he should not breathe in the drinking
utensil, and whenever anyone of you goes to a lavatory, he should neither touch his penis nor clean his
private parts with his right hand."
The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Whenever anyone of you makes water he should not hold his penis or clean his
private parts with his right hand. (And while drinking) one should not breathe in the drinking utensil ."
I followed the Prophet (ﷺ) while he was going out to answer the call of nature. He used not to look this
way or that. So, when I approached near him he said to me, "Fetch for me some stones for ' cleaning
the privates parts (or said something similar), and do not bring a bone or a piece of dung." So I
brought the stones in the corner of my garment and placed them by his side and I then went away from
him. When he finished (from answering the call of nature) he used, them .
The Prophet (ﷺ) went out to answer the call of nature and asked me to bring three stones. I found two
stones and searched for the third but could not find it. So took a dried piece of dung and brought it to
him. He took the two stones and threw away the dung and said, "This is a filthy thing."
(the slave of 'Uthman) I saw 'Uthman bin 'Affan asking for a tumbler
of water (and when it was brought) he poured water over his hands and
washed them thrice and then put his right hand in the water container
and rinsed his mouth, washed his nose by putting water in it and then
blowing it out. then he washed his face and forearms up to the
elbows thrice, passed his wet hands over his head and washed his feet
up to the ankles thrice. Then he said, "Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said 'If
anyone performs ablution like that of mine and offers a two-rak'at
prayer during which he does not think of anything else (not related to
the present prayer) then his past sins will be forgiven.' "

Chapter 24: The washing of the parts thrice while performing ablution - كتاب الوضوء
After
performing the ablution 'Uthman said, "I am going to tell you a Hadith
which I would not have told you, had I not been compelled by a certain
Holy Verse (the sub narrator 'Urwa said:
This verse is: "Verily, those
who conceal the clear signs and the guidance which we have sent
down...)" (2:159). I heard the Prophet (ﷺ) saying, 'If a man performs
ablution perfectly and then offers the compulsory congregational
prayer, Allah will forgive his sins committed between that (prayer)
and the (next) prayer till he offers it.

Chapter 25: The cleaning of the nose by putting water in it and then blowing it out during ablution - كتاب الوضوء
Narrated Abu Huraira:
حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدَانُ، قَالَ أَخْبَرَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ، قَالَ أَخْبَرَنَا يُونُسُ، عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ، قَالَ أَخْبَرَنِي أَبُو إِدْرِيسَ، أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم أَنَّهُ قَالَ
" مَنْ تَوَضَّأَ فَلْيَسْتَنْثِرْ، وَمَنِ اسْتَجْمَرَ فَلْيُوتِرْ ".
The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Whoever performs ablution should clean his nose with water by putting the water
in it and then blowing it out, and whoever cleans his private parts with stones should do it with odd
number of stones."
Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said, "If anyone of you performs ablution he should put water in his nose and then
blow it out and whoever cleans his private parts with stones should do so with odd numbers. And
whoever wakes up from his sleep should wash his hands before putting them in the water for ablution,
because nobody knows where his hands were during sleep."
The Prophet (ﷺ) remained behind us on a journey. He joined us while we were performing ablution for the
`Asr prayer which was overdue and we were just passing wet hands over our feet (not washing them
thoroughly) so he addressed us in a loud voice saying twice , "Save your heels from the fire."
(the freed slave of `Uthman bin `Affan) I saw `Uthman bin `Affan asking (for a tumbler of water) to
perform ablution (and when it was brought) he poured water from it over his hands and washed them
thrice and then put his right hand in the water container and rinsed his mouth and washed his nose by
putting water in it and then blowing it out. Then he washed his face thrice and (then) forearms up to
the elbows thrice, then passed his wet hands over his head and then washed each foot thrice. After that
`Uthman said, "I saw the Prophet (ﷺ) performing ablution like this of mine, and he said, 'If anyone
performs ablution like that of mine and offers a two-rak`at prayer during which he does not think of
anything else (not related to the present prayer) then his past sins will be forgiven. '

Chapter 30: Washing the feet when one is wearing the shoes, and it is not sufficient for one to pass a wet hand over the shoes (but one should take off the shoes and wash one's feet) - كتاب الوضوء
Narrated `Ubaid Ibn Juraij:
حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ يُوسُفَ، قَالَ أَخْبَرَنَا مَالِكٌ، عَنْ سَعِيدٍ الْمَقْبُرِيِّ، عَنْ عُبَيْدِ بْنِ جُرَيْجٍ، أَنَّهُ قَالَ لِعَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عُمَرَ يَا أَبَا عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ، رَأَيْتُكَ تَصْنَعُ أَرْبَعًا لَمْ أَرَ أَحَدًا مِنْ أَصْحَابِكَ يَصْنَعُهَا. قَالَ وَمَا هِيَ يَا ابْنَ جُرَيْجٍ قَالَ رَأَيْتُكَ لاَ تَمَسُّ مِنَ الأَرْكَانِ إِلاَّ الْيَمَانِيَيْنِ، وَرَأَيْتُكَ تَلْبَسُ النِّعَالَ السِّبْتِيَّةَ، وَرَأَيْتُكَ تَصْبُغُ بِالصُّفْرَةِ، وَرَأَيْتُكَ إِذَا كُنْتَ بِمَكَّةَ أَهَلَّ النَّاسُ إِذَا رَأَوُا الْهِلاَلَ وَلَمْ تُهِلَّ أَنْتَ حَتَّى كَانَ يَوْمُ التَّرْوِيَةِ. قَالَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ أَمَّا الأَرْكَانُ فَإِنِّي لَمْ أَرَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم يَمَسُّ إِلاَّ الْيَمَانِيَيْنِ، وَأَمَّا النِّعَالُ السِّبْتِيَّةُ فَإِنِّي رَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم يَلْبَسُ النَّعْلَ الَّتِي لَيْسَ فِيهَا شَعَرٌ وَيَتَوَضَّأُ فِيهَا، فَأَنَا أُحِبُّ أَنْ أَلْبَسَهَا، وَأَمَّا الصُّفْرَةُ فَإِنِّي رَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم يَصْبُغُ بِهَا، فَأَنَا أُحِبُّ أَنْ أَصْبُغَ بِهَا، وَأَمَّا الإِهْلاَلُ فَإِنِّي لَمْ أَرَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم يُهِلُّ حَتَّى تَنْبَعِثَ بِهِ رَاحِلَتُهُ.
I asked `Abdullah bin `Umar, "O Abu `Abdur-Rahman! I saw you doing four things which I never
saw being done by anyone of you companions?" `Abdullah bin `Umar said, "What are those, O Ibn
Juraij?" I said, "I never saw you touching any corner of the Ka`ba except these (two) facing south
(Yemen) and I saw you wearing shoes made of tanned leather and dyeing your hair with Hinna (a kind
of red dye). I also noticed that whenever you were in Mecca, the people assume Ihram on seeing the
new moon crescent (1st of Dhul-Hijja) while you did not assume the Ihlal (Ihram) -(Ihram is also
called Ihlal which means 'Loud calling' because a Muhrim has to recite Talbiya aloud when assuming
the state of Ihram) - till the 8th of Dhul-Hijja (Day of Tarwiya). `Abdullah replied, "Regarding the
corners of Ka`ba, I never saw Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) touching except those facing south (Yemen) and
regarding the tanned leather shoes, no doubt I saw Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) wearing non-hairy shoes and he
used to perform ablution while wearing the shoes (i.e. wash his feet and then put on the shoes). So I
love to wear similar shoes. And about the dyeing of hair with Hinna; no doubt I saw Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)
dyeing his hair with it and that is why I like to dye (my hair with it). Regarding Ihlal, I did not see
Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) assuming Ihlal till he set out for Hajj (on the 8th of Dhul-Hijja).

Chapter 32: To look for water (for ablution) when the time for the prayer is due - كتاب الوضوء
Narrated Anas bin Malik:
حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ يُوسُفَ، قَالَ أَخْبَرَنَا مَالِكٌ، عَنْ إِسْحَاقَ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ أَبِي طَلْحَةَ، عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ، أَنَّهُ قَالَ رَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم وَحَانَتْ صَلاَةُ الْعَصْرِ، فَالْتَمَسَ النَّاسُ الْوَضُوءَ فَلَمْ يَجِدُوهُ، فَأُتِيَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم بِوَضُوءٍ، فَوَضَعَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم فِي ذَلِكَ الإِنَاءِ يَدَهُ، وَأَمَرَ النَّاسَ أَنْ يَتَوَضَّئُوا مِنْهُ. قَالَ فَرَأَيْتُ الْمَاءَ يَنْبُعُ مِنْ تَحْتِ أَصَابِعِهِ حَتَّى تَوَضَّئُوا مِنْ عِنْدِ آخِرِهِمْ.
saw Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) when the `Asr prayer was due and the people searched for water to perform
ablution but they could not find it. Later on (a pot full of) water for ablution was brought to Allah's
Apostle . He put his hand in that pot and ordered the people to perform ablution from it. I saw the
water springing out from underneath his fingers till all of them performed the ablution (it was one of
the miracles of the Prophet).
I said to `Abida, "I have some of the hair of the Prophet (ﷺ) which I got from Anas or from his family."
`Abida replied. "No doubt if I had a single hair of that it would have been dearer to me than the whole
world and whatever is in it."
The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "A man saw a dog eating mud from (the severity of)
thirst. So, that man took a shoe (and filled it) with water and kept
on pouring the water for the dog till it quenched its thirst. So Allah
approved of his deed and made him to enter Paradise."
My father said. "During the lifetime of Allah's
Apostle, the dogs used to urinate, and pass through the mosques (come
and go), nevertheless they never used to sprinkle water on it (urine
of the dog.)"
I asked the Prophet (about the hunting dogs) and he replied, "If you let loose (with Allah's name) your
tamed dog after a game and it hunts it, you may eat it, but if the dog eats of (that game) then do not eat
it because the dog has hunted it for itself." I further said, "Sometimes I send my dog for hunting and
find another dog with it. He said, "Do not eat the game for you have mentioned Allah's name only on
sending your dog and not the other dog."
