Chapter 4 · Ablutions (Wudu')الْوُضُوءِ بِالْمُدِّ
Ablution with one mudd
كَانَ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم يَغْسِلُ ـ أَوْ كَانَ يَغْتَسِلُ ـ بِالصَّاعِ إِلَى خَمْسَةِ أَمْدَادٍ، وَيَتَوَضَّأُ بِالْمُدِّ.

حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو نُعَيْمٍ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا مِسْعَرٌ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي ابْنُ جَبْرٍ، قَالَ سَمِعْتُ أَنَسًا، يَقُولُ
Translation
Anas ibn Malik reported: The Prophet ﷺ used to wash – or: take the ritual bath (ghusl) – with one sa' up to five mudds, and perform ablution (wudu) with one mudd.
Translator’s note: The sa' and the mudd are measures of volume; one sa' equals four mudds, and a mudd is roughly what two cupped hands hold. “Or” marks a narrator's uncertainty about the wording.

Deutsch
Anas ibn Malik berichtete: Der Prophet ﷺ wusch sich – oder: vollzog die Ganzkörperwaschung – mit einem Sa' bis zu fünf Mudd und vollzog die Gebetswaschung mit einem Mudd.
Translator’s note: Sa' und Mudd sind Hohlmaße; ein Sa' entspricht vier Mudd, ein Mudd etwa dem, was zwei zusammengelegte Hände fassen. „Oder“ zeigt die Unsicherheit eines Überlieferers im Wortlaut.
Türkçe
Enes b. Mâlik (r.a.) şöyle rivayet etti: Nebî ﷺ bir sâ' ile beş müd arası (su) ile yıkanır – veya: gusleder –, bir müd ile de abdest alırdı.
Translator’s note: Sâ' ve müd hacim ölçüleridir; bir sâ' dört müde eşittir, bir müd yaklaşık iki avuç dolusudur. “Veya” ifadesi, râvinin lafız hakkındaki tereddüdünü gösterir.
