What Has Been Related That 'Water Is For Water'
Arabic hadith text
حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ مَنِيعٍ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ الْمُبَارَكِ، أَخْبَرَنَا يُونُسُ بْنُ يَزِيدَ، عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ، عَنْ سَهْلِ بْنِ سَعْدٍ، عَنْ أُبَىِّ بْنِ كَعْبٍ، قَالَإِنَّمَا كَانَ الْمَاءُ مِنَ الْمَاءِ رُخْصَةً فِي أَوَّلِ الإِسْلاَمِ ثُمَّ نُهِيَ عَنْهَا .
Translation
Ubayy bin Ka'b narrated
"Water is for water,' was only permitted in the beginning of Islam. Then it was prohibited."
