[The Meaning of the Hadith: (Allah does not accept the prayer of any one of you when he has a state of ritual impurity until he performs ablution)

His Eminence the Shaykh: We ask Allah the Exalted and Great to prolong your life in His obedience. We hope you will provide the grammatical analysis of this hadith along with an explanation of its meaning. May Allah bless you: (Allah does not accept the prayer of any one of you when he has a state of ritual impurity until he performs ablution).

Its grammatical analysis is as follows: (La): A negation particle.
(Yaqbul): A present tense verb, raised, with the sign of raising being a visible dammah at its end.
The noble name (Allah): The doer of the action of accepting.
(Salah): The object of the action of accepting.
And (Salah) is a possessed noun, and (Ahadukum): The possessed noun to which it is related, and (Ahad) is a possessed noun,And the kaf: The possessed noun to which it is related, and the mim is the sign of the plural.
(Idha): A temporal adverb.
(Ahadatha): A past tense verb built on fathah, and the doer is a hidden pronoun, permissible to hide, estimated to be "he".
(Hatta): A particle of limit.
(Yatawadda'): A present tense verb, lowered by a hidden "an" after (hatta), and its doer is a hidden pronoun, permissible to hide, estimated to be "he".
This is the grammatical analysis of the hadith.

As for its meaning: Its meaning is that Allah the Exalted does not accept the prayer from a person when he has a state of minor ritual impurity;Regarding His saying: (Until he performs ablution) indicates that the intended state of ritual impurity is the minor one,And if he had intended the major state of ritual impurity, he would have said: Until he performs the full ritual bath.
(Allah does not accept the prayer of any one of you when he has a state of ritual impurity until he performs ablution). The apparent meaning of the hadith is that there is no difference between the one who forgets and the one who remembers, or the ignorant and the knowledgeable. So if a person has a state of ritual impurity and then prays while forgetting that he has it, it is obligatory for him to perform ablution and repeat the prayer. And if a person prays while in a state of ritual impurity but is ignorant of the impurity; for example, if he eats camel meat and does not know that it is camel meat, then he stands and prays, and then he is informed that he ate camel meat, it is obligatory for him to perform ablution and repeat the prayer.
