حَدَّثَنَا عُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مُعَاذٍ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبِي ح، وَحَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْمُثَنَّى، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ، (يَعْنِي ابْنَ مَهْدِيٍّ) قَالَا: حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ جَبْرٍ

قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ أَنَسًا، يَقُولُ كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَغْتَسِلُ بِخَمْسِ مَكَاكِيكَ وَيَتَوَضَّأُ بِمَكُّوكٍ. وَقَالَ ابْنُ الْمُثَنَّى بِخَمْسِ مَكَاكِيَّ. وَقَالَ ابْنُ مُعَاذٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ وَلَمْ يَذْكُرِ ابْنَ جَبْرٍ

The Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) (may peace he upon him) took a bath with five Makkuks of water and performed ablution with one Makkuk. Ibn Muthanna has used the words five Makakiyya, and Ibn Muadh narrated it from Abdullah ibn Abdullah and he made no mention of Ibn Jabr.

ইসহাক ইবনু ইবরাহীম ও আবদ ইবনু হুমায়দ (রহঃ) ... হাকীম ইবনু হিযাম (রাযিঃ) বলেন, আমি রাসূলুল্লাহ সাল্লাল্লাহু আলাইহি ওয়া সাল্লাম কে বললাম, ইয়া রাসূলাল্লাহ! জাহিলী যুগে যে সকল নেক কাজ করতাম আমি কি তার কোন প্রতিদান পাবো? রাসূলুল্লাহ সাল্লাল্লাহু আলাইহি ওয়া সাল্লাম বলেন, তোমার সে সব নেক কাজের বিনিময়ে তুমি ইসলাম গ্রহণের সৌভাগ্য লাভ করেছ। আমি বললাম, আল্লাহর কসম! জাহিলী যুগে যে সব নেক কাজ আমি করেছি ইসলামী জিন্দেগীতেও আমি তা করে যাব।

ابن شہاب زہری کے ایک اور شاگرد معمر نے اسی ( سابقہ ( سند کے ساتھ یہی روایت بیان کی ، نیز ( ایک دوسری سند کے ساتھ ) ابو معاویہ نے ہمیں خبر : ہمیں ہشام بن عروہ نے اپنے والد سے حدیث سنائی ، انہوں نے حضرت حکیم بن حزام ‌رضی ‌اللہ ‌عنہ ‌ ‌ سےروایت کی ، انہون نے کہا کہ میں رسول اللہ ﷺ سے پوچھا : وہ ( بھلائی کی ) چیزیں ( کام ) جو میں جاہلیت کے دور میں کیا کرتا تھا؟

( ہشام نے کہا : ان کی مراد تھی کہ میں نیکی کےلیے کرتا تھا ) تو رسول اللہ ﷺ نے فرمایا : ’’تم اس بھلائی سمیت اسلام میں داخل ہوئے جو تم نے پہلے کی ۔

‘ ‘ میں نےکہا : اللہ کی قسم ! میں نے جو ( نیک ) کام جاہلیت میں کیے تھے ، ان میں سے کوئی عمل نہیں چھوڑوں گا مگر اس جیسے کام اسلام میں بھی کروں گا ۔

Bize İshak b. İbrahim ve Abd b. Humeyd tahdis edip dediler ki: Bize Abdurrezzak haber verdi, bize Ma'mer, Zühri'den bu isnat ile haber verdi (H). Bize İshak b. İbrahim de tahdis etti. Bize Ebu Muaviye haber verdi, bize Hişam b. Urve babasından tahdis etti. O Hakim b. Hizam'dan şöyle dediğini nakletti: Ey Allah'ın Resulü, cahiliye döneminde yapmış olduğum bazı işler vardı.

-Hişam dedi ki: Yani bunları itaat ve iyilik olarak yapardım Resulullah (Sallallahu aleyhi ve Sellem): "Sen daha önce kendin için yapmış olduğun hayırlarla Müslüman oldun" buyurdu. Ben de: O halde cahiliye döneminde ne yaptımsa hiçbirisini bırakmaksızın mutlaka İslam'da da aynısını yapacağım, dedim

What it means

The Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) used to take a bath for Janābah (sexual impurity) with one Sā‘ to five Mudds and perform ablution with one Mudd. A Sā‘ equals four Mudds, and a Mudd is the amount that would fill the palms of an average-sized person.

What it teaches

  • It is prescribed to use less water for ablution and ritual bathing and not to use it wastefully, even if water is abundant.
  • It is recommended to use little water for ablution and ritual baths - as needed. This is the guidance of the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him).
  • The bottom line is to perform ablution and take a ritual bath thoroughly while observing the relevant Sunnahs and etiquettes, without extravagance or stinginess. One should take into account the time, the abundance or shortage of water, and so on.
  • Janābah: applies to anyone who has ejaculated or engaged in sexual intercourse. It was called as such because the one in a state of Janābah should keep away (Ijtināb) from prayer and other acts of worship until he is purified from it.
  • Sā‘: a well-known measure. It refers to the Prophetic Sā‘, which weighs 480 Miskals of good wheat, or 3 liters.
  • Mudd: a Shar‘i unit of measurement, which is the handful of a moderate person when he fills his hand with and extends it. Mudd is a quarter of a Sā‘, by consensus among the scholars, and it equals 750 milliliters.
