Sahih

اسْتِعْمَالِ فَضْلِ وَضُوءِ النَّاسِ

Using the leftover water from people's ablution

خَرَجَ عَلَيْنَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم بِالْهَاجِرَةِ، فَأُتِيَ بِوَضُوءٍ فَتَوَضَّأَ، فَجَعَلَ النَّاسُ يَأْخُذُونَ مِنْ فَضْلِ وَضُوئِهِ فَيَتَمَسَّحُونَ بِهِ، فَصَلَّى النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم الظُّهْرَ رَكْعَتَيْنِ وَالْعَصْرَ رَكْعَتَيْنِ، وَبَيْنَ يَدَيْهِ عَنَزَةٌ.

حَدَّثَنَا آدَمُ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا الْحَكَمُ، قَالَ سَمِعْتُ أَبَا جُحَيْفَةَ، يَقُولُ

Translation

Abu Juhayfah reported: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ came out to us in the midday heat. Water for ablution (wudu) was brought to him and he performed ablution, and the people began taking what was left of his ablution water and wiping themselves with it. Then the Prophet ﷺ prayed the Zuhr prayer as two rak'ahs and the Asr prayer as two rak'ahs, with a short spear in front of him.

Translator’s note: The prayers were shortened because of travel; the spear served as a barrier in front of the one praying (sutrah).

Abu Dschuhaifa berichtete: Der Gesandte Allahs ﷺ kam in der Mittagshitze zu uns heraus. Ihm wurde Wasser für die Gebetswaschung gebracht, und er vollzog die Gebetswaschung. Da begannen die Leute, vom Rest seines Waschwassers zu nehmen und sich damit zu bestreichen. Dann betete der Prophet ﷺ das Mittagsgebet mit zwei Rak'at und das Nachmittagsgebet mit zwei Rak'at, und vor ihm war ein kurzer Speer.

Translator’s note: Die Gebete wurden wegen der Reise verkürzt verrichtet; der Speer diente als Abgrenzung vor dem Betenden (Sutra).

Türkçe

Ebû Cühayfe (r.a.) şöyle rivayet etti: Resûlullah ﷺ öğle sıcağında yanımıza çıktı. Ona abdest suyu getirildi ve abdest aldı. İnsanlar onun abdest suyunun artığından alıp onu (vücutlarına) sürmeye başladılar. Sonra Nebî ﷺ öğle namazını iki rekât, ikindi namazını da iki rekât kıldı. Önünde de bir anaze vardı.

Translator’s note: Namazlar yolculuk sebebiyle kısaltılmıştı. Anaze, ucu demirli kısa mızraktır; namaz kılanın önüne sütre olarak dikilmişti.
