245 - Musaddad ibn Musarhad narrated to us, Abdullah ibn Dawud narrated to us, from al-A'mash, from Salim, from Kurayb, who said: Ibn Abbas narrated to us
from his aunt Maymunah, who said: I placed water for the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, to perform the ritual bath (ghusl) from major impurity (janabah). He tilted the vessel onto his right hand and washed it two or three times. Then he poured water over his private part and washed his private part with his left hand. Then he struck his hand on the ground and washed it. Then he rinsed his mouth, sniffed water into his nose, and washed his face and hands. Then he poured water over his head and his entire body. Then he moved aside and washed his feet. I offered him a towel, but he did not take it, and he began to shake the water off his body. I mentioned this to Ibrahim, and he said: "They did not see any harm in using a towel, but they disliked habit."(1)

= (25995) From Yazid ibn Harun, who said: Urwah Abu Abdullah al-Bazzaz informed us, from al-Sha'bi, from Aisha. This Urwah al-Bazzaz was given a biographical entry by al-Bukhari in "al-Tarikh al-Kabir" 7/34, and by Abu Hatim in "al-Jarh wa al-Ta'dil" 6/398, and Ibn Hibban mentioned him in "al-Thiqat" 7/288, and Ibn Ma'in declared him trustworthy and named him: Urwah Abu Abdullah al-Hamdani. Either both of them narrated it from al-Sha'bi, or al-Mizzi, may Allah have mercy on him, erred in identifying him. Hushaym: he is Ibn Bashir al-Wasiti, so the hadith is authentic according to those who consider al-Sha'bi's hearing from Aisha, may Allah be pleased with her, to be valid.

(1) Its chain of transmission is authentic. Al-A'mash: he is Sulayman ibn Mihran, and Salim: he is Ibn Abi al-Ja'd, and Kurayb: he is Ibn Abi Muslim, the freed slave of Ibn Abbas.
It was also recorded by al-Bukhari (249), Muslim (317), al-Tirmidhi (103), al-Nasa'i in "al-Kubra" (246), and Ibn Majah (467) and (573) through multiple chains from al-A'mash, with this chain of transmission. They did not mention Ibrahim's statement at the end.
It is also in "Musnad Ahmad" (26856) and (26856), and with him is the statement of Ibrahim al-Nakha'i, and in "Sahih Ibn Hibban" (1190).
Al-Hafiz said in "al-Fath" 1/362: It contains the permissibility of shaking the hands from the water of the ritual bath, and likewise from ablution (wudu). As for the hadith: "Do not shake your hands during ablution, for they are the fans of Satan," =
