Hadith 26
Rasoolullah Performing Wudu At The Time Of Eating
Ibn 'Abbas said:
"Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) emerged from having a bowel movement and he was brought a meal, so he was asked: 'Will you not perform the minor ritual ablution?' He replied: “Am I about to perform the ritual prayer, so that I should perform the minor ritual ablution'?”
حَدَّثَنَا سَعِيدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ الْمَخْزُومِيُّ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ بْنُ عُيَيْنَةَ، عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ دِينَارٍ، عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ الْحُوَيْرِثِ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ، قَالَ: خَرَجَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم مِنَ الْغَائِطِ فَأُتِيَ بِطَعَامٍ، فَقِيلَ لَهُ: أَلا تَتَوَضَّأُ؟ فَقَالَ: أَأُصَلِّي، فَأَتَوَضَّأُ.
