The addition in the hadith of Abu Hurayrah to what is in the verse on ablution

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, is the hadith of Abu Hurayrah not restricted by what was stated generally in the verse on ablution?

The Shaykh:
The restriction is not restricted; it is considered an addition to what is in the verse on ablution. It is considered an addition to what is in the verse on ablution. An addition is not established in the statement of a Companion. An addition is only established in the statement of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him). We know that this is from the statement of a Companion, so it is not an addition to what is in the verse. If it were from the speech of the Messenger, yes, because the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) is the explainer and the conveyor of the message from Allah (Mighty and Majestic). As for others, no; this would only be his independent legal reasoning (ijtihad), and the one who exercises independent legal reasoning may err or be correct. Yes.

Another questioner:
What supports this addition. The Companions who described for us how the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) performed his ablution

The Shaykh:
Yes.

Another questioner:
He did not say what was transmitted.

The Shaykh:
Yes, indeed, it is so. It is an insertion from the speech of Abu Dharr. Because those who described the ablution of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) did not mention the wiping of the forehead or the warning. So this insertion is known among hadith scholars. It is known among hadith scholars. It is what is from the speech of a Companion connected to the hadith, either as an explanation or a clarification of a word. This is called an insertion. Positive. Yes, yes. The right hand began.
The reliance is not on the hadith of Abu Hurayrah; the reliance is on the hadith of Aisha in the two Sahihs, that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) liked to begin with his right side in putting on his sandals, combing his hair, and in his purification. So the hadith of Abu Hurayrah also supports what came in the hadith of Aisha, except that it contains an addition of the command. The author mentioned the hadith of Abu Hurayrah after the hadith of Aisha because it contains the command
Begin with your right sides.ابدؤوا بميامنكم.
