The Book of Ghusl and Tayammum

كتاب الغسل والتيمم

Chapter 1: Mentioning The Prohibition Of One Who Is Junub Performing Ghusl In Standing Water

Abu Hurairah said

"The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: 'None of you should perform ghusl in standing water while he is Junub.'"

It was narrated from Abu Hurairah that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said

"None of you should urinate into standing water and then perform Ghusl or Wudu' with it."

It was narrated from Abu Hurairah that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) forbade urinating into standing water and then performing Ghusl from Janabah in it.

It was narrated from Abu Hurairah that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) forbade urinating into standing water then performing Ghusl with it.

It was narrated that Abu Hurairah said

"None of you should urinate into standing water which does not flow and then perform Ghusl with it." (One of the narrators) Sufyan said: "They said to Hisham - meaning Ibn Hassan - 'Ayyub only attributed this Hadith to Abu Hurairah?' So he said: 'If Ayyub is not able to raise up a narration then he does not raise it.'" [1][1] That is, he narrated it from Abu Hurairah, rather than from him from the Prophet (ﷺ) while others narrated it in Marfu' form or "raised" to the Prophet (ﷺ) And perhaps by: "If he is able to not raise it" he means: "If he is not able to raise it." And Allah knows best.

Chapter 2: Concession On Entering Bathhouses

It was narrated from Jabir that the Prophet (ﷺ) said

"Whoever believes in Allah and the Last Day, let him not enter a bath house except wearing an Izar (waist wrap)."

Chapter 3: Performing Ghusl With Snow And Hail

'Abdullah bin Abi Awfa narrated that the Prophet (ﷺ) would supplicate

"Allahumma tahhirni min adh-dhunub wal-khataya. Allahumma naqqini minha kama yunaqqa ath-thawb al-abyad min ad-danas, Allahumma tahhirni bith-thalji wal-barad wal-ma' al-barid (O Allah, purify me of sin and error, O Allah cleanse me of it as a white garment is cleansed of dirt, O Allah purify me with snow and hail and cold water)."

Chapter 4: Performing Ghusl With Cold Water

It was narrated that Ibn Abi Awfa said

"The Prophet (ﷺ) used to say: 'Allahumma tahhirni bith-thalji wal-barad wal-ma' al-barid, Allahumma tahhirni min adh-dhunub kama yutahhar ath-thawb al-abyad min ad-danas (O Allah, purify me with snow and hail and cold water, O Allah, purify me of sin as a white garment is cleansed of dirt)."

Chapter 5: Performing Ghusl Before Going To Sleep

It was narrated that 'Abdullah bin Abi Qais said

"I asked 'Aishah: 'How did the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) sleep while he was Junub? Did he perform Ghusl before sleeping or sleep before performing Ghusl?' She said: 'He did both. Sometimes he would perform Ghusl then sleep, and sometimes he would perform Wudu' then sleep.'"

Chapter 6: Performing Ghusl At The Beginning Of The Night

It was narrated that Ghudaif bin Al-Harith said

"I entered upon 'Aishah and asked her: 'Did the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) perform Ghusl at the beginning of the night or at the end?' She said: 'Both. Sometimes he performed Ghusl at the beginning and sometimes at the end.' I said: 'Praise be to Allah who has made the matter flexible.'"

Chapter 7: Concealing Oneself When Performing Ghusl

It was narrated from Ya'la that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) saw a man performing Ghusl in an open place, so he ascended the Minbar and praised and glorified Allah, then he said

'Allah, the Mighty and Sublime, is forbearing, modest and concealing, and He loves modesty and concealment. When any one of you performs Ghusl, let him conceal himself.'"

It was narrated from Safwan bin Ya'la that his father said

"The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: 'Allah loves concealment, so when any one of you performs Ghusl let him conceal himself with something.'"

It was narrated that Maimunah said

"I put some water out for the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ), then I concealed him" - and she mentioned how he performed Ghusl, then she said: "Then I brought him a cloth (a towel) but he did not want it."

It was narrated that Abu Hurairah said

"The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: 'While Ayyub, peace be upon him, was bathing naked, locusts of gold landed on him and he started to collect them in his garment. Then his Lord called him (saying): "O Ayyub, did I not make you rich?" he said: "Yes, O Lord, but I cannot do without Your blessing."

Chapter 8: The Evidence That There Is No Set Limit For The Amount Of Water To Be Used For Ghusl

It was narrated that 'Aishah said

"The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) used to perform Ghusl from a vessel which was the size of a Faraq [1] and he and I used to perform Ghusl from a single vessel."[1] See No. 230

Chapter 9: A Man And One Of His Wives Performing Ghusl From A Single Vessel

It was narrated from 'Aishah that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) used to perform Ghusl, he and I from a single vessel, both of us scooping water from it.

'Abdur-Rahman bin Al-Qasim said

"I heard Al-Qasim narrating that 'Aishah said: 'I used to perform Ghusl - the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) and I - from a single vessel for Janabah.'"

It was narrated that 'Aishah said

"I remember competing over the vessel [1] with the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ), when he and I were performing Ghusl from it."[1] See the following narration and no. 240.

Chapter 10: Concession With Regard To That

It was narrated that 'Aishah said

"I used to perform Ghusl - the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) and I - from one vessel. He would compete with me and I would with him (to take the water) until he would say: 'Leave me some,' and I would say, 'Leave me some.'"
