Summary of Sunan an-Nasai Hadith 187
This hadith about rinsing the mouth after drinking milk is short and very practical. Ibn Abbas narrated that the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم drank milk, then called for water, rinsed his mouth, and said, “It contains greasiness.” The main point is not about a full wudu. The text only mentions rinsing the mouth after milk because of its greasiness. This makes the hadith useful for searches like “rinsing mouth after milk hadith” and “milk greasiness hadith.” The Prophet’s action shows simple cleanliness before continuing with worship or daily acts. The narration is careful and limited: milk was drunk, water was requested, the mouth was rinsed, and the reason given was that milk has greasiness.
What we learn from this hadith
- The Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم rinsed his mouth after drinking milk.
- He called for water before rinsing.
- The reason mentioned in the text is milk’s greasiness.
- The narration speaks about mouth rinsing, not a full wudu.
