حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ مَعْمَرِ بْنِ رِبْعِيٍّ الْقَيْسِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو هِشَامٍ الْمَخْزُومِيُّ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الْوَاحِدِ، (وَهُوَ ابْنُ زِيَادٍ) حَدَّثَنَا عُثْمَانُ بْنُ حَكِيمٍ، حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْمُنْكَدِرِ، عَنْ حُمْرَانَ، عَنْ عُثْمَانَ بْنِ عَفَّانَ

قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «مَنْ تَوَضَّأَ فَأَحْسَنَ الْوُضُوءَ خَرَجَتْ خَطَايَاهُ مِنْ جَسَدِهِ حَتَّى تَخْرُجَ مِنْ تَحْتِ أَظْفَارِهِ»

The Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) (way peace be upon him) said: He who performed ablution well, his sins would come out from his body, even coming out from under his nails.

যুহায়র ইবনু হারব (রহঃ) ..... আমাশ (রহঃ)-এর সূত্রে এ সনদে অনুরূপ হাদীস বর্ণনা করেছেন। তবে এতে রয়েছে "আমি অমান্য করলাম ফলে আমার জন্য নির্ধারিত হলো জাহান্নাম"।

وکیع نے اعمش سے اسی سند کے ساتھ یہی حدیث بیان کی ۔ فرق یہ ہے کہ وکیع نے ( فأبيت..... ’’ میں نے انکار کیا ‘ ‘ کے بجائے ) فعصيت فعلي النار ’’ میں نے نافرمانی کی تو میرے لیے جہنم ( مقدر ) ہوئی ‘ ‘ کہا ۔

Bana Zuheyr b. Harb da tahdis etti. Bize Veki', tahdis etti. Bize A'meş bu isnad ile hadisi aynen tahdis etti. Ancak o: "...Ben ise isyan ettim. Bu sebeple benim için cehennem ateşi vardır der" dedi. Bunu yalnız Müs!im rivayet etmiştir; Tuhfetu'l-Eşraf, 12473 NEVEVİ ŞERHİ 82.sayfa, 243 nolu Hadis’te. DAVUDOĞLU

What it means

The Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) informs that if a person performs ablution while observing its Sunnahs and etiquettes, this will cause his sins and misdeeds to be expiated and forgiven - to the extent that his sins will come out from under the nails of his hands and feet.

What it teaches

  • The Hadīth urges us to be keen on learning the ablution and its Sunnahs and etiquettes and to act accordingly.
  • It highlights the merit of ablution and that it expiates minor sins. As for major sins, they require repentance.
  • For sins to come out of a person's body, he is required to perform ablution perfectly and without shortcomings, as illustrated by the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him).
  • The expiation of sins mentioned in the Hadīth is conditional upon the avoidance of major sins and repentance therefrom. Allah Almighty says: {f you avoid the major sins[20] which are forbidden to you, We will absolve your [minor] sins.} [Surat an-Nisā’: 31]
