وَحَدَّثَنِي زُهَيْرُ بْنُ حَرْبٍ، حَدَّثَنَا جَرِيرٌ، عَنْ سُهَيْلٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ

قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «إِذَا وَجَدَ أَحَدُكُمْ فِي بَطْنِهِ شَيْئًا فَأَشْكَلَ عَلَيْهِ أَخَرَجَ مِنْهُ شَىْءٌ أَمْ لَا فَلَا يَخْرُجَنَّ مِنَ الْمَسْجِدِ حَتَّى يَسْمَعَ صَوْتًا أَوْ يَجِدَ رِيحًا»

The Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) said: If any one of you has pain in his abdomen, but is doubtful whether or not anything has issued from him, be should not leave the mosque unless he hears a sound or perceives a smell.

(ابن جریج کے دوسرے شاگردوں ) محمد بن بکر اور ابو عاصم نےاسی مذکورہ سند کے ساتھ ( سابقہ حدیث ) کےمانند حدیث بیان کی ۔

Bunu bana Muhammed b. Hatim de tahdis etti. Bize Muhammed b. Bekr tahdis etti (H). Bunu bize Ahmed b. Osman en-Nevfel! de tahdis etti. Bize (Muhammed b. Bekr ile birlikte) her ikisi İbn Cureyc'den bu isnat ile aynısını nakletti. Yalnız Müslim rivayet etmiştir; Tuhfetu'I-Eşraf

What it means

The Prophet (may Allah’s peace and blessings be upon him) explained that if a person feels some disturbance in his stomach and he is not sure whether something has come out of him, he should not leave his prayer and cut it off to renew his ablution, unless he ascertains that his ablution was broken, by hearing the sound of wind or smelling its odor.

This is because a doubtful one does not nullify a certain thing, and he is certain about his purification but doubtful whether it has been broken or not.

What it teaches

  • This Hadīth contains one of the Islamic principles and Fiqhi rules: Certainty cannot be removed by doubt, and the basic rule is that things remain as they are unless established otherwise.
  • Doubt does not affect ablution, and a worshiper retains his state of ablution unless he is sure it has been broken.
