39 - Chapter on the perfection of ablution

51 - 'Ali ibn Hujr narrated to us, he said: Isma'il ibn Ja'far narrated to us, from al-'Ala' ibn 'Abd al-Rahman, from his father, from Abu Hurayrah, that the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "Shall I not guide you to that by which Allah erases sins and raises degrees?" They said: "Yes, O Messenger of Allah." He said: "Perfecting ablution despite hardships, taking many steps to the mosques, and waiting for prayer after prayer—that is the ribat."

================================

= If he urinates, he performs ablution and sprinkles water [on his garment].

See the complete takhrij and discussion of it in "al-Musnad."

As for the hadith of Ibn 'Abbas, al-Darimi (711) and al-Bayhaqi 1/162 narrated it, and its wording is: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, called for water, performed ablution once each, and sprinkled water on his private part. Al-Bayhaqi mentioned that the sprinkling was uniquely transmitted by Qabisah from Sufyan, and a group narrated it from Sufyan without this addition.

We say: See its takhrij in "al-Musnad" (2072).

As for the hadith of Zayd ibn Harithah, Ibn Majah (462) narrated it. Its wording, raised to the Prophet, is: "Jibril taught me ablution and commanded me to sprinkle water beneath my garment, because of what comes out of urine after ablution." Al-Busiri said: Its chain is weak due to the weakness of Ibn Lahi'ah.

As for the hadith of Abu Sa'id, we did not find it.

Al-Khattabi said in "Ma'alim al-Sunan" 1/63: The sprinkling (intidah) here means cleaning oneself with water after using stones, and it was the custom of most of them to clean themselves with stones without touching water. The sprinkling may also be interpreted as spraying the private part with water after cleaning oneself with it, in order to repel the whisperings of Satan by that.

(1) Authentic, and Muslim (251), Ibn Majah (428), and al-Nasa'i 1/89 narrated it. It is in "al-Musnad" (7209) and "Sahih Ibn Hibban" (1038).
