371 — We were told by ʿAlī ibn Muḥammad: We were told by Wakīʿ, from Sufyān, from Simāk, from ʿIkrimah, from Ibn ʿAbbās, that a woman from among the wives of the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, performed a major ritual bath (ghusl) from sexual impurity, and the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, performed ablution (wuḍūʾ) — or bathed — with the leftover water of her ablution.

372 — We were told by Muḥammad ibn al-Muthannā, Muḥammad ibn Yaḥyā, and Isḥāq ibn Manṣūr, who said: We were told by Abū Dāwūd: We were told by Sharīk, from Simāk, from ʿIkrimah, from Ibn ʿAbbās, from Maymūnah, the wife of the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, that the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, performed ablution with the leftover water of her major ritual bath from sexual impurity.

It was also recorded by Abū Dāwūd (68), al-Tirmidhī (65), and others via the chain of Abū al-Aḥwaṣ Sallām ibn Sulaym, from Simāk, with this same chain and wording.

It was also recorded by al-Nasāʾī 1/173 via the chain of Sufyān al-Thawrī, from Simāk, with his wording: "Water is not made impure by anything."

It is authentically established from Ibn ʿAbbās, in Muslim (323) and others, that the Messenger of God, peace and blessings be upon him, used to bathe with the leftover water of Maymūnah, and it is in al-Musnad (3465).

Supporting it with the wording of Sufyān's hadith from Simāk is the hadith of Abū Saʿīd al-Khudrī in Aḥmad's Musnad (11119); see the continuation of its supporting witnesses there.

Also the two hadiths of Jābir and Abū Umāmah that follow in the author's collection under numbers (520) and (521).

(1) Sound through its supporting witnesses; see what precedes it.

(2) A sound hadith, but this chain is weak due to the weakness of Sharīk — he is Ibn ʿAbd Allāh al-Nakhaʿī. And Simāk — he is Ibn Ḥarb — his narration from ʿIkrimah is disordered. Abū Dāwūd: he is Sulaymān ibn Dāwūd al-Ṭayālisī.

It is in the Musnad of al-Ṭayālisī (1625), and from his transmission it was recorded by Aḥmad (26801), al-Ṭabarānī 24/(34), and al-Dāraquṭnī (141).
