The Book of Purification

Narrated ‘Ali bin Abi Talib (rad):

I was one who Madhi (urethral discharge) flowed readily and asked Miqdad (his slave) to ask the Prophet (ﷺ) about it. He (the Prophet) said:“One should perform Wudu (ablution) in this case”. [Agreed upon and this is Al-Bukhari’s version].

A man who accompanied the prophet (ﷺ) narrated:

Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) forbade a women to bathe with the water left over by a man and that a man should not bathe with the water left over by a woman (but instead) they should both take scoopfuls of the water together. [Reported by Abu Da’ud and An-Nasa’i and its chain of narrators is Sahih (authentic)].

Narrated ‘Aisha (rad):

The Prophet (ﷺ) kissed one of his wives and went to pray without performing (fresh) ablution. [Reported by Ahmad and Al-Bukhari graded it Da’if (weak)].

Narrated Abu Huraira (rad):

Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) said: “If one of you feels disturbance in his stomach and doubts whether he has released some wind or not, then he should not leave the mosque unless he hears its sound or smells (its) odour”. [Reported by Muslim].

Narrated Talq bin ‘Ali (rad):

A man said: “I touched my penis” or he said, “Does a man who touch his penis during the prayer should perform Wudu (ablution)?” The Prophet (ﷺ) replied, “No, it is only a part of your body”. [Reported by Al-Khamsa. Ibn Hibban graded it Sahih (sound).

and Ibn Al-Madini said, “It is better than the Hadith of Busra".

Narrated Busra bint Safwan (rad):

Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) said: “He who touches his penis should perform ablution”. [Reported by Al-Khamsa, and At-Tirmidhi and Ibn Hibban graded it Sahih (sound).

and Al-Bukhari said, “It is the most authentic in this chapter”.

Narrated ‘Aisha (rad):

Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) said: “Whoever vomits, bleeds through the nose, or released Madhi (urethral discharge) should go, perform ablution and then complete his Salat (prayer) (by continuing from where he had stopped at) on condition that he does not speak in the process”. Reported by Ibn Majah

and Ahmad and others graded it Da’if

Narrated Jabir bin Samura (rad):

A man asked the Prophet (ﷺ), “Should I perform ablution after eating mutton?” He replied, “If you wish so”, he then asked, “Should I perform ablution after eating camel meat?” He (ﷺ) said: “Yes”. [Reported by Muslim].

Narrated Abu Huraira (rad):

The Prophet (ﷺ) said: “Whoever washes a dead person should take a bath (thereafter); and whoever carries it should perform ablution”. Reported by Ahmad, An-Nasa’i and At-Tirmidhi who graded it Hasan (fair).

And Ahmad said that there is no authentic Hadith in this chapter.

Narrated ‘Abdullah bin Abu Bakr (rad):

The book written by Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) for ‘Amr bin Hazm also contained: “ None except a pure person should touch the Quran”. [Reported by Malik as a Mursal and by An-Nasa’i and Ibn Hibban as Mawsul. And it is graded as Ma’lul (defective)].

Narrated ‘Aisha (rad):

Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) used to mention Allah’s Name (praise Him) at all times. [Reported by Muslim and Al-Bukhari recorded it as Mu’allaq (suspended)].

Narrated Anas bin Malik (rad):

The Prophet (ﷺ) had blood extracted from his body and offered the prayer and did not perform (a new) ablution. [Reported by Ad-Daraqutni who graded it Da’if (weak)].

Narrated Ibn ‘Abbas (rad):

Narrated Ibn ‘Abbas (rad): The Prophet (ﷺ) used to bath with the water left over by Maimuna (rad) [Muslim reported it].

Narrated Mu’awiyah (rad):

Allah’s Messenger (saW) said: “The eye (when awake) is the string of the anus (to stop air escaping), and if the two eyes sleep the string is untied”. [Reported by Ahmad and At-Tabarani who added, “Whoever sleeps should perform ablution]”

Also reported by Abu Da’ud mentioning the above addition without the words “the string is untied”, but both versions are weak.

And Ibn ‘Abbas (rad) narrated in a Marfu’ (traceable) Hadith that:

“Ablution is necessary for one who sleeps while he is lying flat. [Reported by Abu Da’ud and there is weakness in its chain of narrators].
