The Meaning of the Prophet's Statement: "From Water," and Whether It Contains an Indirect Reference

The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh, a man asked the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) about the occupant of a grave, and he (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "From water." Is this authentic? And what is meant by water?

The Shaykh:
Yes, this was reported from the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him). Every human being is created from water; every human being is created from water. So the Messenger wanted to obscure the matter from this person. He did not say, "We are so-and-so, the sons of so-and-so," or "I am the Prophet." He intended to obscure the matter with this. Yes.

The questioner:
Shaykh, may Allah grant you success.

The Shaykh:
He intended to obscure the matter and did not lie (peace and blessings be upon him). Who are they? He (peace and blessings be upon him) was making an indirect reference and joking, and he did not say anything but the truth. Yes.
