Purification (Kitab Al-Taharah)

كتاب الطهارة

Chapter 139: The Ground Which Has Been (Polluted) With Urine

Abu Hurairah reported

A bedouin entered the mosque while the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) was sitting. He offered two rak'ahs of prayer, according to the version of Ibn 'Abdah. He then said: O Allah, have mercy on me and on Muhammad and do not have mercy on anyone along with us. The Prophet (ﷺ) said: You have narrowed down (a thing) that was broader. After a short while he passed a water in the corner of the mosque. The people rushed towards him. The Prophet (ﷺ) prevented them and said: You have been sent to facilitate and not create difficulties. Pour a bucket of water upon it.

Narrated Abdullah ibn Ma'qil ibn Muqarrin

A bedouin prayed with the Prophet (ﷺ). He then narrated the tradition (No 0380) about urinating of that bedouin.

This version adds: The Prophet (ﷺ) said: Remove the earth where he urinated and throw it away and pour water upon the place.

Abu Dawud said: This is a mursal tradition (i.e. the narrator quotes the Prophet (ﷺ) directly, although he did not see him). Ibn Ma'qil did not see the Prophet (ﷺ).

Chapter 140: The Earth Becomes Pure When Dry

Ibn 'Umar said

I used to sleep in the mosque in the lifetime of the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) when I was young and bachelor. The dogs would urinate frequently visit the mosque, and no one would sprinkle over it.

Chapter 141: Impurity That Touches The Hem (Of One's Clothes)

Narrated Umm Salamah, Ummul Mu'minin

The slave-mother of Ibrahim ibn AbdurRahman ibn Awf asked Umm Salamah, the wife of the Prophet (ﷺ): I am a woman having a long border of clothe and I walk in filthy place; (then what should I do?). Umm Salamah replied: The Messenger of Allah ( peace be upon him) said: What comes after it cleanses it.

Narrated A woman of the Banu AbdulAshhal

She reported: I said Messenger of Allah, our road to the mosque has an unpleasant stench; what should we do when it is raining? He asked: Is there not a cleaner part after the filthy part of the road? She replied: Why not (there is one)! He said: It makes up for the other.

Chapter 142: Impurity Which Touches One's Shoes

Abu Hurairah reported

The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: When any one of you treads with his sandal upon an unclean place, the earth will render it purified.

Abu Hurairah reported the tradition to the same effect from the Prophet (ﷺ)

When any of you treads with his shoes upon something unclean, they will be purified with the earth.

'Aishah reported a similar tradition from the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ).

Chapter 143: Repeating (The Prayer) Due To An Impurity On The Garment

Umm Jahdar al-'Amiriyyah said that she asked 'Aishah about the blood of menses which drops on the clothe. She replied

I was (lying) with the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) and we had our garment over us, and we had put a blanket over it. When the day broke, the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) took the blanket, wore it and went out and offered the dawn prayer. He then sat (in the mosque among the people). A man said: Messenger of Allah, this is a spot of blood. The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) caught hold of it from around and sent it to me folded in the hand of a slave and said: Wash it and dry it and then send it to me. I sent for my vessel and washed it. I then dried it and returned it to him. The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) came at noon while he had the blanket over him.

Chapter 144: Saliva Falling On A Garment

Narrated AbuNadrah

The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) spat on his clothe and scrubbed with a part of it.

A similar tradition has also been narrated by Anas from the Prophet (ﷺ) through a different chain of narrators.
