حَدَّثَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ، حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ زَيْدٍ، وَجَرِيرٌ، عَنْ مَنْصُورٍ، عَنْ هِلاَلِ بْنِ يِسَافٍ، عَنْ سَلَمَةَ بْنِ قَيْسٍ، قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم " إِذَا تَوَضَّأْتَ فَانْتَثِرْ وَإِذَا اسْتَجْمَرْتَ فَأَوْتِرْ " . قَالَ وَفِي الْبَابِ عَنْ عُثْمَانَ وَلَقِيطِ بْنِ صَبِرَةَ وَابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ وَالْمِقْدَامِ بْنِ مَعْدِيكَرِبَ وَوَائِلِ بْنِ حُجْرٍ وَأَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ . قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى حَدِيثُ سَلَمَةَ بْنِ قَيْسٍ حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ صَحِيحٌ . وَاخْتَلَفَ أَهْلُ الْعِلْمِ فِيمَنْ تَرَكَ الْمَضْمَضَةَ وَالاِسْتِنْشَاقَ فَقَالَتْ طَائِفَةٌ مِنْهُمْ إِذَا تَرَكَهُمَا فِي الْوُضُوءِ حَتَّى صَلَّى أَعَادَ الصَّلاَةَ وَرَأَوْا ذَلِكَ فِي الْوُضُوءِ وَالْجَنَابَةِ سَوَاءً . وَبِهِ يَقُولُ ابْنُ أَبِي لَيْلَى وَعَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ الْمُبَارَكِ وَأَحْمَدُ وَإِسْحَاقُ . وَقَالَ أَحْمَدُ الاِسْتِنْشَاقُ أَوْكَدُ مِنَ الْمَضْمَضَةِ . قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى وَقَالَتْ طَائِفَةٌ مِنْ أَهْلِ الْعِلْمِ يُعِيدُ فِي الْجَنَابَةِ وَلاَ يُعِيدُ فِي الْوُضُوءِ وَهُوَ قَوْلُ سُفْيَانَ الثَّوْرِيِّ وَبَعْضِ أَهْلِ الْكُوفَةِ . وَقَالَتْ طَائِفَةٌ لاَ يُعِيدُ فِي الْوُضُوءِ وَلاَ فِي الْجَنَابَةِ لأَنَّهُمَا سُنَّةٌ مِنَ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم فَلاَ تَجِبُ الإِعَادَةُ عَلَى مَنْ تَرَكَهُمَا فِي الْوُضُوءِ وَلاَ فِي الْجَنَابَةِ . وَهُوَ قَوْلُ مَالِكٍ وَالشَّافِعِيِّ فِي آخِرَةٍ .
Salamah bin Qais Narrated from:
Allah'S Messenger Said: "When You Perform Wudu Then Sniff Water In The Nose And Blow It Out, And When You Use Small Stones (To Remove Filth) Then Make It Odd (Numbered)."
[1] Rinsing the mouth with water.[2] Sniffing water into the nose and blowing it out.Reference : Jami` at-Tirmidhi 27In-book reference : Book 1, Hadith 27English translation : Vol. 1, Book 1, Hadith 27
Summary of Jami at-Tirmidhi Hadith 27
This hadith about wudu explains two practical acts of purification. Salamah bin Qais narrated that the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم said that when one performs wudu, he should sniff water into the nose and blow it out. He also said that when one uses small stones to remove filth, he should make it odd-numbered. The wording is short, but it gives clear details for cleanliness. Nose cleaning is part of the wudu practice mentioned here, and odd-numbered istijmar is tied to cleaning after relieving oneself. The report also shows that people of knowledge discussed mouth rinsing and nose rinsing in wudu and ghusl. The direct lesson is to be careful with the details of purification.
What we learn from this hadith
- Sniffing water into the nose and blowing it out is taught in this wudu narration.
- Cleaning with stones is mentioned with an odd number.
- The hadith teaches attention to small details in purification.
- The text connects wudu cleanliness with cleanliness after relieving oneself.
