حَدَّثَنَا هَنَّادٌ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو مُعَاوِيَةَ، عَنِ الأَعْمَشِ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ الرَّازِيِّ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ أَبِي لَيْلَى، عَنِ الْبَرَاءِ بْنِ عَازِبٍ، قَالَ سُئِلَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم عَنِ الْوُضُوءِ مِنْ لُحُومِ الإِبِلِ فَقَالَ " تَوَضَّئُوا مِنْهَا " . وَسُئِلَ عَنِ الْوُضُوءِ مِنْ لُحُومِ الْغَنَمِ فَقَالَ " لاَ تَتَوَضَّئُوا مِنْهَا " . قَالَ وَفِي الْبَابِ عَنْ جَابِرِ بْنِ سَمُرَةَ وَأُسَيْدِ بْنِ حُضَيْرٍ . قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى وَقَدْ رَوَى الْحَجَّاجُ بْنُ أَرْطَاةَ هَذَا الْحَدِيثَ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ أَبِي لَيْلَى عَنْ أُسَيْدِ بْنِ حُضَيْرٍ . وَالصَّحِيحُ حَدِيثُ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ أَبِي لَيْلَى عَنِ الْبَرَاءِ بْنِ عَازِبٍ . وَهُوَ قَوْلُ أَحْمَدَ وَإِسْحَاقَ . وَهُوَ قَوْلُ أَحْمَدَ وَإِسْحَاقَ وَقَدْ رُوِيَ عَنْ بَعْضِ أَهْلِ الْعِلْمِ مِنَ التَّابِعِينَ وَغَيْرِهِمْ أَنَّهُمْ لَمْ يَرَوُا الْوُضُوءَ مِنْ لُحُومِ الإِبِلِ وَهُوَ قَوْلُ سُفْيَانَ الثَّوْرِيِّ وَأَهْلِ الْكُوفَةِ .

Summary of Jami at-Tirmidhi Hadith 81
This Hadith focuses on wudu after camel meat, a topic many people search when they want to know what affects purification before prayer. Al-Bara bin Azib reports that Allah's Messenger was asked about performing wudu after eating camel meat. The answer was direct: perform wudu for it. Then he was asked about goat meat, and the answer was also direct: do not perform wudu for it. The Hadith teaches that not every type of meat is treated the same in this matter. The text gives two clear examples, camel meat and goat meat, without adding other foods. So the safest explanation is to stay with the wording: camel meat is linked with wudu in this narration, while goat meat is not.
What we learn from this hadith
- The Prophet answered practical purification questions with clear guidance.
- Camel meat and goat meat are treated differently in this specific report.
- A Muslim should check wudu matters before prayer instead of guessing.
- The Hadith limits the discussion to the meats mentioned in the text.
