Purity

Yahya related to me from Malik from Ibn Shihab from Abbad ibnZiyad, a descendant of al-Mughira ibn Shuba from his father from alMughira ibn Shuba that the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him andgrant him peace, went to relieve himself during the expedition ofTabuk. Mughira said, "I went with him, taking water. Then theMessenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, came backand I poured out the water for him. He washed his hands and then wentto push his hands out of the sleeves of his garment, but could not doso because of their narrowness. So he brought them out from underneathhis garment. Then he washed his arms, wiped his head and wiped overhis leather socks. The Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him andgrant him peace, returned and Abdar Rahman ibn Awf was leading thepeople in prayer, and he had already finished one raka with them. TheMessenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, prayedthe remaining raka with them to everyone's concern. When the Messengerof Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, finished he said,'You have acted correctly.' "

Yahya related to me from Malik that Nafi and Abdullah ibn Dinartold him that Abdullah ibn Umar arrived at Kufa and went to Sad ibnAbi Waqqas, who was the Amir of Kufa at that time. Abdullah ibn Umarsaw him wiping over his leather socks and disapproved of it. So Sadsaid to him, "Ask your father when you get back." Abdullah returnedbut forgot to ask Umar about the matter until Sad arrived and said,"Have you asked your father?" and he said, "No."

Abdullahthen asked Umar and Umar replied, "If your feet are ritually pure whenyou put them in the leather socks then you can wipe over the socks."Abdullah said ,"What about if we have just come from relievingourselves?" Umar said, "Yes, even if you have just come from relievingyourself."

Yahya related to me from Malik from Nafi that Abdullah ibn Umarurinated in the market place and then did wudu, washing his face andhands and wiping his head. Then as soon as he had come into themosque, he was called to pray over a dead person, so he wiped over hisleather socks and prayed.

Yahya related to me from Malik that Said ibn Abd ar-Rahman ibnRuqash said, "I saw Anas ibn Malik come and squat and urinate.Thenwater was brought and he did wudu. He washed his face, then his armsto the elbows, and then he wiped his head and wiped over his leathersocks. Then he came to the mosque and prayed."

Yahya saidthat Malik was asked whether a man who did wudu for prayerand then puton his leather socks, and then urinated and took them off and put themback on again, should begin wudu afresh.

Malik replied, "Heshould take off his socks and wash his feet. Only someone who puts onleather socks when his feet are (already) ritually purified by wuducan wipe over them. Someone who puts on leather socks when his feetare not ritually purified by wudu, should not wipe over them."

Yahya said that Malik was asked about a man who did wudu with hisleather socks on and forgot to wipe over them until the water was dryand he had prayed, and he said, "He should wipe over his socks andrepeat the prayer but not repeat wudu."

Malik was asked abouta man who washed his feet and put on his leather socks and thenstarted doing wudu, and he said, "He should take off his socks and dowudu and wash his feet."

Yahya related to me from Malik from Hisham ibn Urwa that he sawhis father wiping over his leather socks. He said, "When he wiped overhis socks he would never do more than wipe the tops and he would notwipe the bottoms."

Yahya related to me that Malik had asked Ibn Shihab how to wipeover leather socks. Ibn Shihab had put one hand under the sock and hisother hand above the sock and then passed them over it.

Yahyasaid that Malik said, "Out of all that I have heard about the matter Ilike what Ibn Shihab said the most."

Yahya related to me from Malik from Nafi that Abdullah ibn Umarwould leave and do wudu if he had a nose-bleed and then return andcomplete his prayer without saying anything.

Yahya related to me from Malik from Nafi that Abdullah ibn Abbasused to have nose-bleeds and would leave to wash off the blood. Hewould then return and complete his prayer.

Yahya related to me from Malik from Yazid ibn Abdullah Qusayt al-Laythi that he saw Said ibn al-Musayyab having a nose-bleed whilepraying. He went off to the room of Umm Salama, the wife of theProphet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, and water wasbrought to him and he did wudu. He then returned and completed hisprayer.

Yahya related to me that Abd ar-Rahman ibn Harmala al-Aslamisaid, "I saw Said ibn al-Musayyab with his nose bleeding and bloodpoured out of it so that his fingers were all red from the bloodcoming out of his nose, and he prayed without doing wudu."

Yahya related to me from Malik from Abd ar Rahman ibn al-Mujabbarthat he saw Salim ibn Abdullah with blood running from his nose sothat his fingers were all coloured red. Then he rubbed it and prayedwithout doing wudu.

Yahya related to me from Hisham ibn Urwa from his father that al-Miswar ibn Makhrama told him that he had visited Umar ibn al Khattabon the night he was stabbed and had woken him up for the subh prayerand Umar had said, ''Yes. Whoever stops doing the prayer will getnothing from Islam," and he did the prayer with blood pouring from hiswound.

Yahya related to me from Malik from Yahya ibn Said that Said ibnal-Musayyab was asked, "What do you say about someone who is afflictedby a nose-bleed which does not stop? "Malik said that Yahya ibn Saidsaid that Said ibn al Musayyab said, "I say that he should signal withhis head." (i.e. instead of doing sajda or ruku.)

Yahya saidthat Malik said, "That is what I like most out of what I have heardabout the matter."

Yahya related to me from Malik from Abu'n Nadr, the mawla ofAbdullah ibn Ubaydullah, from Sulayman ibn Yasar from alMiqdad ibn al-Aswad that Ali ibn Abi Talib told him to ask the Messenger of Allah,may Allah bless him and grant him peace, what a man should do, who,when close to his wife, had a flow of prostatic fluid. Ali explainedthat the daughter of the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him andgrant him peace, was living with him then and he was too shy to askfor himself. Al-Miqdad said, "I asked the Messenger of Allah, mayAllah bless him and grant him peace, about it, and he said, 'When youfind that, wash your genitals with water and do wudu as for prayer.' "

Yahya related to me from Zayd ibn Aslam from his father that Umaribn al-Khattab said, "I find it dropping from me like small beads.When you find that, wash your penis and do wudu as for prayer."

Yahya related to me from Malik from Zayd ibn Aslam from hisfather that Jundub, the mawla of Abdullah ibn Ayyash, said, "I askedAbdullah ibn Umar about prostatic fluid and he said, 'When you findit, wash your genitals and do wudu as for prayer.' "

Yahya related to me from Malik from Yahya ibn Said that he waslistening to Said ibn al-Musayyab and a man questioned him saying, "Idiscover a liquid when I am praying. Should I leave?"

Saidibn al-Musayyab said to him, "Even if it were to flow on my leg Iwould not leave until I had finished the prayer."

Yahya related to me from Malik that as-Salt ibn Zuyayd said, "Iasked Sulayman ibn Yasar about a liquid I discovered. He said, 'Washwhat is under your garments with water and forget about it.' "

Yahya related to me from Malik that Abdullah ibn Abi Bakr ibnMuhammad ibn Amr ibn Hazim heard Urwa ibn az-Zubayr saying, "I went tosee Marwan ibn al-Hakam and we talked about what you had to do wudufor, and Marwan said, 'You have to do wudu if you touch your penis.'Urwa said, 'I didn't know that.' Marwan ibn al-Hakam said that Busrabint Safwan had told him that she heard the Messenger of Allah, mayAllah bless him and grant him peace, say, 'If any of you touches hispenis he should do wudu.' "

Yahya related to me from Malik from Ismail ibn Muhammad ibn Sadibn Abi Waqqas that Musab ibn Sad ibn Abi Waqqas said, "I was holdingthe Book for Sad ibn Abi Waqqas and I rubbed myself. Sad said, 'Didyou touch your penis?' I replied, 'Yes,' and he said, 'Get up and dowudu.' So I got up and did wudu and then returned."
