The Book of Purification

Narrated Abu Huraira:

Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) said regarding the sea, "It's water is purifying and its dead (animals) are lawful (to eat)." [Al- Arba’a and Ibn Abu Shaiba reported it (this version is of the latter). Ibn Khuzaima and Tirmidhi graded it Sahih. It was also reported by Malik, Shafi'i and Ahmad.]

Narrated Abu Huraira (rad):

Narrated by Abu Huraira (rad): Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) said: “The cleansing of the utensil belonging to one of you, after it has been licked by a dog, is to wash it seven times, and using soil for cleaning at the first time.” [Muslim reported it].

Another version has:

“he should spill the content”.

At-Tirmidhi’s version has “using soil at the first or last time”.

Narrated ‘Aisha (rad):

When the Prophet (ﷺ) came out of the privy, he used to say, “Ghufranaka (O Allah! Grant me Your forgiveness)”. [Reported by Al-Khamsa, Abu Hatim and Al-Hakim graded it Sahih (sound)].

Narrated Ibn Mas’ud (rad):

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 I 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”. [Reported by Al-Bukhari]

And in the version of Ahmad and Ad-Daraqutni it is added:

“Bring me more (something other than dung)”].

Narrated Abu Huraira (rad):

Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) forbade us to use a bone or dung for cleaning and said, “These two things do not purify”. [Reported by Ad-Daraqutni who graded it Sahih].

Narrated Abu Huraira (rad):

Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) said: “Beware of (smearing yourselves with) urine, because it is the main cause of punishment in the grave”. [Reported by Ad-Daraqutni]

and Al-Hakim reported that:

“Urination is the main cause of punishment in the grave”. [Its chain of narrators is authentic].

Narrated Suraqa bin Malik (rad):

Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) educated us about lavatory (manners) that we should sit on our left foot and keep erect our right foot. [Reported by Al-Baihaqi through a chain of weak narrators].

Narrated ‘Iesa bin Yazdad from his father (ra):

Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) said: “When one of you passes urine, he should empty his penis three times”. [Reported by Ibn Majah through a weak chain of narrators].

Narrated Ibn ‘Abbas (ﷺ):

The Prophet (ﷺ) asked the residents of Quba that what had earned them the Praise of Allah and they replied, “We use water after (cleaning ourselves with) stones.” [Reported by Al-Bazzar with Da’if chain of narrators]

and its Asl (original source) is in Abu Da’ud and At-Tirmidhi and Ibn Khuzaima graded it Sahih (sound) through Abu Huraira (rad) without mentioning the “stones”.]

Narrated Abu Sa’id Al-Khudri (rad):

Allah’s Mesenger (ﷺ) said: “The water (of the ghusl) is due to the water (of sexual emission)”. [Reported by Muslim]

Narrated Abu Qatada (rad):

Narrated Abu Qatada (rad): Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) said about the cat that, “It is not unclean, but is one of those who intermingle with you.” [Reported by Al-Arba’a. At-Tirmidhi and Ibn Khuzaima graded it Sahih (sound)].

Narrated Abu Huraira (rad):

Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) said that, “If one of you sits between her legs (of a woman) and penetrates her, Ghusl (bath) is obligatory.” [Agreed upon].

And Muslim added:

“Even if he does not ejaculate”.

Narrated Umm Salam (rad):

Umm Sulaim, the wife Abu Talha said, “O Allah’s Messenger! Allah is not ashamed of the truth. Is a Ghusl (bath) compulsory for a woman when she has a sexual dream?” He (ﷺ) replied, “Yes! When she sees signs of liquid” [Agreed upon].
