Arabic hadith text

حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ عَمْرِو بْنِ السَّرْحِ، حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ وَهْبٍ، عَنِ الدَّرَاوَرْدِيِّ، قَالَ وَذَكَرَ رَبِيعَةُ أَنَّ تَفْسِيرَ، حَدِيثِ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم ‏"‏ لاَ وُضُوءَ لِمَنْ لَمْ يَذْكُرِ اسْمَ اللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ ‏" ‏ ‏.‏ أَنَّهُ الَّذِي يَتَوَضَّأُ وَيَغْتَسِلُ وَلاَ يَنْوِي وُضُوءًا لِلصَّلاَةِ وَلاَ غُسْلاً لِلْجَنَابَةِ ‏.‏

Translation

Ahmad ibn Amr ibn al-Sarh narrated to us; Ibn Wahb narrated to us, from al-Darawardi, who said: Rabi'ah mentioned that the explanation of the Prophet's hadith, ‘There is no ablution for one who does not mention the name of Allah over it,’ is that it refers to a person who performs ablution or bathes without intending ablution for prayer or a bath to remove major ritual impurity.
