Sahih

الاِسْتِجْمَارِ وِتْرًا

Cleaning oneself with stones an odd number of times

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ " إِذَا تَوَضَّأَ أَحَدُكُمْ فَلْيَجْعَلْ فِي أَنْفِهِ ثُمَّ لِيَنْثُرْ، وَمَنِ اسْتَجْمَرَ فَلْيُوتِرْ، وَإِذَا اسْتَيْقَظَ أَحَدُكُمْ مِنْ نَوْمِهِ فَلْيَغْسِلْ يَدَهُ قَبْلَ أَنْ يُدْخِلَهَا فِي وَضُوئِهِ، فَإِنَّ أَحَدَكُمْ لاَ يَدْرِي أَيْنَ بَاتَتْ يَدُهُ ".

حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ يُوسُفَ، قَالَ أَخْبَرَنَا مَالِكٌ، عَنْ أَبِي الزِّنَادِ، عَنِ الأَعْرَجِ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ،

Translation

Abu Hurairah reported that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, “When one of you performs ablution (wudu), let him put (water) into his nose and then blow it out. And whoever cleans himself with stones, let him use an odd number. And when one of you wakes up from his sleep, let him wash his hand before putting it into his water for ablution, for none of you knows where his hand spent the night.”

Abu Huraira berichtete, dass der Gesandte Allahs ﷺ sagte: „Wenn einer von euch die Gebetswaschung vollzieht, soll er (Wasser) in seine Nase geben und es dann wieder ausstoßen. Und wer sich mit Steinen reinigt, soll eine ungerade Anzahl nehmen. Und wenn einer von euch aus seinem Schlaf erwacht, soll er seine Hand waschen, bevor er sie in sein Wasser für die Gebetswaschung taucht; denn keiner von euch weiß, wo seine Hand die Nacht verbracht hat.“

Türkçe

Ebû Hüreyre (r.a.), Resûlullah'ın ﷺ şöyle buyurduğunu rivayet etti: “Biriniz abdest aldığında burnuna su versin, sonra sümkürsün. Taşla istincâ eden tek sayıda yapsın. Biriniz uykusundan uyandığında, elini abdest suyuna sokmadan önce yıkasın; çünkü sizden biri elinin geceyi nerede geçirdiğini bilmez.”
