حَدَّثَنَا مُسَدَّدٌ، حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادٌ، عَنْ أَيُّوبَ، عَنْ نَافِعٍ، ح وَحَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مَسْلَمَةَ، عَنْ مَالِكٍ، عَنْ نَافِعٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ، قَالَ كَانَ الرِّجَالُ وَالنِّسَاءُ يَتَوَضَّئُونَ فِي زَمَانِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم - قَالَ مُسَدَّدٌ - مِنَ الإِنَاءِ الْوَاحِدِ جَمِيعًا .

Summary of Sunan Abi Dawud Hadith 79
This men and women wudu hadith reports a practice from the time of the Messenger of Allah صلى الله عليه وسلم. Ibn Umar said that males and females used to perform ablution from one vessel together. The version noted by Musaddad includes the wording “from one vessel.” The hadith is about shared use of a water container for ablution. It does not describe who the men and women were, where the vessel was placed, or other details not in the text. The safe lesson is that the narration records a shared vessel for wudu during that time. This makes it important for searches about wudu from one container.
What we learn from this hadith
- Men and women are described as performing ablution together.
- The shared source was one vessel, according to the wording noted.
- The report is tied to the time of the Messenger of Allah صلى الله عليه وسلم.
- The narration does not add further setting details.
