Chapter 28 · Foods (Kitab Al-At'imah)فِي غَسْلِ الْيَدِ قَبْلَ الطَّعَامِ
حَدَّثَنَا مُوسَى بْنُ إِسْمَاعِيل، حَدَّثَنَا قَيْسٌ، عَنْ أَبِي هَاشِمٍ، عَنْ زَاذَانَ، عَنْ سَلْمَانَ، قَالَ: قَرَأْتُ فِي التَّوْرَاةِ: أَنَّ بَرَكَةَ الطَّعَامِ الْوُضُوءُ قَبْلَهُ، فَذَكَرْتُ ذَلِكَ لِلنَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَقَالَ: بَرَكَةُ الطَّعَامِ الْوُضُوءُ قَبْلَهُ وَالْوُضُوءُ بَعْدَهُ ، وَكَانَ سُفْيَانُ يَكْرَهُ الْوُضُوءَ قَبْلَ الطَّعَامِ، قَالَ أَبُو دَاوُد: وَهُوَ ضَعِيفٌ.

Washing the hands before eating
I read in the Torah that the blessing of food consists in ablution before it. So I mentioned it to the Prophet صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم. He said: The blessing of food consists in ablution before it and ablution after it. Sufyan disapproved of performing ablution before taking food. Abu Dawud said: It is weak.
