حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيَْةَ، حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ سُلَيْمٍ الطَّائِفِيُّ، عَنْ إِسْمَاعِيلَ بْنِ كَثِيرٍ، عَنْ عَاصِمِ بْنِ لَقِيطِ بْنِ صَبِرَةَ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ

قَالَ قُلْتُ: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَخْبِرْنِي عَنِ الْوُضُوءِ،. قَالَ: «أَسْبِغِ الْوُضُوءَ وَبَالِغْ فِي الاِسْتِنْشَاقِ إِلاَّ أَنْ تَكُونَ صَائِمًا»

His father said: “I said: ‘O Messenger of Allah! Tell me about ablution.’ He said: ‘Perform ablution properly and sniff water up into your nostrils, thoroughly, unless you are fasting.’”

লাক্বীত্ব ইবনু সাবরাহ (রাঃ) থেকে বর্ণিত। তিনি বলেন, আমি বললাম, হে আল্লাহ্‌র রাসূল! আমাকে উযূ (ওজু/অজু/অযু) সম্পর্কে অবহিত করুন। তিনি বলেনঃ তুমি পরিপূর্ণরূপে উযূ করো এবং নাকের ভেতর উত্তমরূপে পানি পৌঁছাও। কিন্তু তুমি সায়িম হলে তা করবে না।

لقیط بن صبرہ رضی اللہ عنہ کہتے ہیں کہ میں نے عرض کیا: اللہ کے رسول! مجھے وضو کے بارے میں بتائیے! آپ صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم نے فرمایا: تم مکمل طور پر وضو کرو، اور ناک میں پانی چڑھانے میں مبالغہ کرو، الا یہ کہ تم روزے سے ہو ۔

Telah menceritakan kepada kami [Abu Bakr bin Abu Syaibah] berkata, telah menceritakan kepada kami [Yahya bin Sulaim Ath Tha`ifi] dari [Isma'il bin Katsir] dari ['Ashim bin Laqith bin Shabrah] dari [Bapaknya] ia berkata; Aku berkata; "Wahai Rasulullah, kabarkanlah kepadaku tentang wudlu, " beliau bersabda: "Sempurnakan wudlu dan perdalamlah dalam memasukkan air ke dalam hidung, kecuali jika engkau berpuasa

Lakit bin Sabıra (Radiyallahu anh)'den şöyle dediği rivayet olunmuştur: Ben ! Ya Resulallah (Sallallahu Aleyhi ve Sellem), (şer'an övülen) abdest'ten bana haber buyurunuz, dedim.

Resulullah (Sallallahu Aleyhi ve Sellem) buyurdu ki : «Abdesti İsbağ et (= tam ve mükemmel al) ve oruçlu olmadığın zaman istinşakta mübalağa et.» Tahric: Hadis, Ebu Davud, Tirmizi, Nesai, Şafii Ahmed, İbn-i Huzeyme, İbn-i Hibban, İbnü'l-Carud, El-Hakim ve Beyhaki tarafından uzun ve kısa metinler halinde rivayet edilmiş ve Tirmizi, Bağavi ve İbnü'l-Kattan bunun sahih olduğunu söylemişlerdir

What it means

Laqīt ibn Saburah (may Allah be pleased with him) informed that he came to the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) with others from his people, Banu al-Muntafiq.

He said: We did not find him in his house, but we found the Mother of the Believers, ‘Ā’ishah (may Allah be pleased with her). She ordered that a broth be prepared for us from flour and fat, and a plate containing dates was served to us. Then the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) came and asked: Was any food offered to you?

We said: Yes. Laqīt said: While we were sitting with him (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him), the shepherd of the Prophet's sheep came driving the sheep to their place of rest, carrying a crying young goat with him.

The Prophet asked: What did it give birth to? He replied: A female. He said: Then slaughter for us in its place a grown sheep. Then he (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) said: Do not think that we are taking trouble or slaughtering it for your sake; rather, we have a flock of one hundred sheep, and we do not wish their number to exceed that.

So whenever a new lamb is born, we slaughter one in its place. Laqīt said: I said: O Messenger of Allah, my wife has a sharp tongue and speaks indecently. What should I do with her?

He replied: Then divorce her. He said: I said: O Messenger of Allah, she has been my companion for a long time, and I have children from her. He said: Then advise her, for if there is any good in her, she will respond to your admonition. And if she does not respond, then beat her, but not severely, and do not beat her as you would beat your servants.

Laqīt, then, said: O Messenger of Allah, tell me about ablution. He said: Let the water reach all its proper places during ablution, and give each body part its due. Do not neglect any of its obligations or Sunnah acts. Separate the fingers of your hands and feet while washing them, and be thorough in drawing water into your nose and blowing it out, except if you have intended to fast, so that water does not enter your stomach.

What it teaches

  • The legitimacy of honoring the guest.
  • There are two types of Isbāgh (perfecting ablution): 1. Obligatory Isbāgh, which is required for the validity of ablution. It refers to thoroughly washing the required area and ensuring complete coverage. 2. Recommended Isbāgh, which is not required for the validity of ablution. It refers to what exceeds the obligatory, such as the second and third washes of the body part. This type is recommended.
  • It is recommended to run wet fingers between the fingers and toes when washing them during ablution, i.e., ensuring that water reaches between them.
  • At-Tībi said: The Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) only mentioned some of the Sunnah acts of ablution in his response because the questioner was already knowledgeable about the basic ruling of ablution.
  • Among the noble traits of the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) was his attentiveness to the feelings of others and his consideration for their emotional states.
  • This Hadīth indicates the obligation of rinsing the mouth in ablution.
  • The Hadīth is evidence of the recommendation to exaggerate in sniffing water (during ablution), except for a fasting person—for whom it is not recommended—so that the exaggeration does not cause water to reach the throat and thereby invalidate the fast.
  • It is evident that emigration is not obligatory upon everyone who embraces Islam; for example, Banu al-Muntafiq and others did not migrate but rather sent their delegations. And this applies if a person resides in a place where he is able to practice his religion openly.
