Narrated Abu Huraira (May Allah be pleased with him): Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) said: “None of you should take a bath in stagnant water when he is sexually impure”. [Muslim reported it]وَعَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ - رضى الله عنه - قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اَللَّهِ - صلى الله عليه وسلم -{ لَا يَغْتَسِلُ أَحَدُكُمْ فِي اَلْمَاءِ اَلدَّائِمِ وَهُوَ جُنُبٌ } أَخْرَجَهُ مُسْلِمٌ 1 .

Another version of Al-Bukhari has
“None of you should urinate in stagnant water that is not flowing, and then take bath in it”. A version of Muslim has the words “from it (i.e. the water)”. A version of Abu Da’ud has: “One should not take bath in it from sexual impurity”.وَلِلْبُخَارِيِّ: { لَا يَبُولَنَّ أَحَدُكُمْ فِي اَلْمَاءِ اَلدَّائِمِ اَلَّذِي لَا يَجْرِي, ثُمَّ يَغْتَسِلُ فِيهِ } 1 . وَلِمُسْلِمٍ: "مِنْهُ" 2 . وَلِأَبِي دَاوُدَ: { وَلَا يَغْتَسِلُ فِيهِ مِنْ اَلْجَنَابَةِ } 3 .
Chapter 5: Wiping over Socks
باب المسح على الخفين
Bulugh al-Maram 60
Narrated ‘Ali (May Allah be pleased with him)
If the religion were based on opinion, it would be more important to wipe over the under parts of the leather socks than the upper, but I have seen Allah’s Messenger (rad) wiping over the upper parts of his leather socks. [Reported by Abu Da’ud with good Isnad (chain of narrators)].وَعَنْ عَلِيٍّ - رضى الله عنه - قَالَ: { لَوْ كَانَ اَلدِّينُ بِالرَّأْيِ لَكَانَ أَسْفَلُ اَلْخُفِّ أَوْلَى بِالْمَسْحِ مِنْ أَعْلَاهُ, وَقَدْ رَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اَللَّهِ - صلى الله عليه وسلم -يَمْسَحُ عَلَى ظَاهِرِ خُفَّيْهِ } أَخْرَجَهُ أَبُو دَاوُدَ بِإِسْنَادٍ حَسَن ٍ 1 .
Bulugh al-Maram 61
Narrated Safwan bin ‘Assal (May Allah be pleased with him)
When we were on a journey, the Prophet (ﷺ) used to command us to wear our leather socks for three days and three nights, whether we had to answer the call of nature or slept. However, in case of ejaculation or sexual impurity, he commanded us to remove the leather socks. [Reported by An-Nasa’i and At-Tirmidhi, version is of the latter. With them Ibn Khuzaima graded it Sahih (sound)].وَعَنْ صَفْوَانَ بْنِ عَسَّالٍ - رضى الله عنه - قَالَ: { كَانَ رَسُولُ اَللَّهِ - صلى الله عليه وسلم -يَأْمُرُنَا إِذَا كُنَّا سَفْرًا أَنْ لَا نَنْزِعَ خِفَافَنَا ثَلَاثَةَ أَيَّامٍ وَلَيَالِيَهُنَّ, إِلَّا مِنْ جَنَابَةٍ وَلَكِنْ مِنْ غَائِطٍ, وَبَوْلٍ, وَنَوْمٍ } أَخْرَجَهُ النَّسَائِيُّ, وَاَلتِّرْمِذِيُّ وَاللَّفْظُ لَهُ, وَابْنُ خُزَيْمَةَ وَصَحَّحَاه ُ 1 .

Narrated ‘Ali (May Allah be pleased with him)
The Prophet (ﷺ) fixed the period of Mash (wiping) over the leather socks (Khifaf – plural of Khuff) for three days and nights for a traveller and one day and a night for the resident person in a town [Reported by Muslim].وَعَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ أَبِي طَالِبٍ - رضى الله عنه - قَالَ: { جَعَلَ اَلنَّبِيُّ - صلى الله عليه وسلم -ثَلَاثَةَ أَيَّامٍ وَلَيَالِيَهُنَّ لِلْمُسَافِرِ, وَيَوْمًا وَلَيْلَةً لِلْمُقِيمِ. يَعْنِي: فِي اَلْمَسْحِ عَلَى اَلْخُفَّيْنِ } أَخْرَجَهُ مُسْلِم ٌ 1 .

Narrated Thawban (May Allah be pleased with him)
Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) sent out a military expedition and commanded them to wipe over the turbans and leather socks. [ Reported by Ahmad and Abu Da’ud.

“If one of you performs ablution and puts on his two leather socks, let him perform Mash (wipe) over them and pray in them and he may not take them off he so wishes except after ejaculation or sexual impurity. [Reported by Ad-Daraqutni and Al-Hakim and graded Sahih (sound) by him].وَعَنْ عُمَرَ -مَوْقُوفًا- و]عَنْ] أَنَسٍ -مَرْفُوعًا-: { إِذَا تَوَضَّأَ أَحَدُكُمْ وَلَبِسَ خُفَّيْهِ فَلْيَمْسَحْ عَلَيْهِمَا, وَلْيُصَلِّ فِيهِمَا, وَلَا يَخْلَعْهُمَا إِنْ شَاءَ إِلَّا مِنْ جَنَابَةٍ" } أَخْرَجَهُ اَلدَّارَقُطْنِيُّ, وَالْحَاكِمُ وَصَحَّحَه ُ 1 .

I asked, “For one day?” He replied, “For one day”, I again asked, “And for two days?” He replied “For two day s too”. I again asked “And for three days” He replied, “Yes, as long as you wish”. [Reported by Abu Da’ud, who said, “It is not strong”]وَعَنْ أُبَيِّ بْنِ عِمَارَةَ - رضى الله عنه - أَنَّهُ قَالَ: { يَا رَسُولَ اَللَّهِ أَمْسَحُ عَلَى اَلْخُفَّيْنِ? قَالَ: "نَعَمْ" قَالَ: يَوْمًا? قَالَ: "نَعَمْ", قَالَ: وَيَوْمَيْنِ? قَالَ: "نَعَمْ", قَالَ: وَثَلَاثَةً? قَالَ: "نَعَمْ, وَمَا شِئْتَ" أَخْرَجَهُ أَبُو دَاوُدَ, وَقَالَ: لَيْسَ بِالْقَوِيِّ } 1 .

باب نواقض الوضوء
Bulugh al-Maram 67
Narrated Anas (May Allah be pleased with him)
The Companions of Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) in his lifetime used to wait for the ‘Isha (night) prayer, so much so that their heads were lowered down (by dozing). They would then pray without performing ablution. [Reported by Abu Da’ud and Ad-Daraqutni graded it Sahih (sound). Its origin is in Muslim].عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ - رضى الله عنه - قَالَ: { كَانَ أَصْحَابُ رَسُولِ اَللَّهِ - صلى الله عليه وسلم --عَلَى عَهْدِهِ- يَنْتَظِرُونَ اَلْعِشَاءَ حَتَّى تَخْفِقَ رُؤُوسُهُمْ, ثُمَّ يُصَلُّونَ وَلَا يَتَوَضَّئُونَ } أَخْرَجَهُ أَبُو دَاوُدَ, وَصَحَّحَهُ اَلدَّارَقُطْنِيّ ُ 1 .

Bulugh al-Maram 68
Narrated ‘Aisha (May Allah be pleased with her)
Fatima bint Abu Hubaish came to the Prophet (ﷺ) and said, “O Messenger of Allah, I am a woman whose blood keeps flowing (even after the menstruation). I am never purified; should I, therefore, stop praying?” He (the Prophet) said, “No, for that is only a vein, and is not menstruation. So when the menstruation comes, abstain from prayers, and when it ends wash the blood from yourself and then pray”. [Agreed upon].وَعَنْ عَائِشَةَ رَضِيَ اَللَّهُ عَنْهَا قَالَتْ: { جَاءَتْ فَاطِمَةُ بِنْتُ أَبِي حُبَيْشٍ إِلَى اَلنَّبِيِّ - صلى الله عليه وسلم -فَقَالَتْ: يَا رَسُولَ اَللَّهِ! إِنِّي اِمْرَأَةٌ أُسْتَحَاضُ فَلَا أَطْهُرُ, أَفَأَدَعُ اَلصَّلَاةَ? قَالَ: "لَا. إِنَّمَا ذَلِكَ عِرْقٌ, وَلَيْسَ بِحَيْضٍ, فَإِذَا أَقْبَلَتْ حَيْضَتُكِ فَدَعِي اَلصَّلَاةَ, وَإِذَا أَدْبَرَتْ فَاغْسِلِي عَنْكِ اَلدَّمَ, ثُمَّ صَلِّي } مُتَّفَقٌ عَلَيْه ِ 1 .
Bulugh al-Maram 68

“Then perform ablution for every prayer”.وَلِلْبُخَارِيِّ: { ثُمَّ تَوَضَّئِي لِكُلِّ صَلَاةٍ } 1 .

and Muslim admitted that he dropped this addition deliberately.
وَأَشَارَ مُسْلِمٌ إِلَى أَنَّهُ حَذَفَهَا عَمْدً ا 1 .
Bulugh al-Maram 69
Narrated ‘Ali bin Abi Talib (May Allah be pleased with him)
I was one who Madhi (urethral discharge) flowed readily and asked Miqdad (his slave) to ask the Prophet (ﷺ) about it. He (the Prophet) said:“One should perform Wudu (ablution) in this case”. [Agreed upon and this is Al-Bukhari’s version].وَعَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ أَبِي طَالِبٍ - رضى الله عنه - قَالَ: { كُنْتُ رَجُلاً مَذَّاءً, فَأَمَرْتُ اَلْمِقْدَادَ بْنَ اَلْأَسْوَدِ أَنْ يَسْأَلَ اَلنَّبِيَّ - صلى الله عليه وسلم -فَسَأَلَهُ ? فَقَالَ: "فِيهِ اَلْوُضُوءُ } مُتَّفَقٌ عَلَيْهِ, وَاللَّفْظُ لِلْبُخَارِيّ ِ 1 .
