Chapter 4 · Ablutions (Wudu')اسْتِعْمَالِ فَضْلِ وَضُوءِ النَّاسِ
Using the leftover water from people's ablution
ذَهَبَتْ بِي خَالَتِي إِلَى النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم فَقَالَتْ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ، إِنَّ ابْنَ أُخْتِي وَجِعٌ. فَمَسَحَ رَأْسِي وَدَعَا لِي بِالْبَرَكَةِ، ثُمَّ تَوَضَّأَ فَشَرِبْتُ مِنْ وَضُوئِهِ، ثُمَّ قُمْتُ خَلْفَ ظَهْرِهِ، فَنَظَرْتُ إِلَى خَاتَمِ النُّبُوَّةِ بَيْنَ كَتِفَيْهِ مِثْلِ زِرِّ الْحَجَلَةِ.

حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ يُونُسَ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا حَاتِمُ بْنُ إِسْمَاعِيلَ، عَنِ الْجَعْدِ، قَالَ سَمِعْتُ السَّائِبَ بْنَ يَزِيدَ، يَقُولُ
Translation
As-Sa'ib ibn Yazid reported: My maternal aunt took me to the Prophet ﷺ and said, “O Messenger of Allah, my sister's son is ill.” He wiped my head and prayed for blessing for me. Then he performed ablution (wudu), and I drank from his ablution water. Then I stood behind his back and looked at the seal of prophethood between his shoulders, like the button of a bridal canopy.
Translator’s note: The comparison “like the button of a bridal canopy” is interpreted in different ways; according to another interpretation, a partridge's egg is meant.

As-Sa'ib ibn Yazid berichtete: Meine Tante mütterlicherseits brachte mich zum Propheten ﷺ und sagte: „O Gesandter Allahs, der Sohn meiner Schwester ist krank.“ Da strich er mir über den Kopf und bat für mich um Segen. Dann vollzog er die Gebetswaschung, und ich trank von seinem Waschwasser. Dann stellte ich mich hinter seinen Rücken und sah das Siegel der Prophetschaft zwischen seinen Schultern, wie der Knopf eines Brautzeltes.
Translator’s note: Der Vergleich „wie der Knopf eines Brautzeltes“ wird unterschiedlich gedeutet; nach anderer Deutung ist das Ei eines Rebhuhns gemeint.

Sâib b. Yezîd (r.a.) şöyle rivayet etti: Teyzem beni Nebî'ye ﷺ götürdü ve: “Ey Allah'ın Resûlü, kız kardeşimin oğlu hasta” dedi. Bunun üzerine başımı sıvazladı ve bana bereket duasında bulundu. Sonra abdest aldı; ben de onun abdest suyundan içtim. Sonra arkasında durdum ve iki omzunun arasındaki nübüvvet mührüne baktım; gerdek çadırının düğmesi gibiydi.
Translator’s note: “Gerdek çadırının düğmesi gibi” benzetmesi farklı şekillerde yorumlanmıştır; başka bir yoruma göre keklik yumurtası kastedilmektedir.
