Is there an authentic hadith that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) saw a man with a spot on his leg that water had not reached, and he ordered him to repeat the prayer?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : In the last question, if Allah wills, a hadith was mentioned: meaning, perhaps it is not there, the water did not reach it.
The Shaykh : I am listening, the question is fine.
The questioner : Let me repeat it.
The Shaykh : No, may Allah guide you, finish it.
The questioner : Yes, but up to here.
The Shaykh : What is the question, my brother? You say, "Zayd is a beginner, he is not standing, he is sitting, he is speaking, he is silent," and so on. You say, "You mentioned a hadith," but where is the question?
The questioner : The question is: Is there a hadith?
The Shaykh : That is enough, that is enough. It is permissible, either I or you, one of us.
The questioner :Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 1:440
The Shaykh : That is enough, that is enough. I understood, I understood. The hadith, the question, you say now, "Is there one?"
The questioner : Yes, is there one?
The Shaykh : Is the question, meaning...
The questioner : Is there an authentic hadith?
The Shaykh : Allah is sufficient for me, and He is the best Disposer of affairs, my brother. I say now, I understood the question. Listen to the answer.
The questioner : Yes, I am listening.
The Shaykh : This hadith is authentic.
The questioner : Yes.
The Shaykh : And this is the answer to your question.
The questioner : But there is a small comment on it, if Allah wills.
The Shaykh : But this will be recorded as your fourth question.
The questioner : As you wish. Is there a specific size for this spot? Is it possible that if a line of water passes over it, the ablution is sufficient, or does he have to repeat the entire ablution?
The Shaykh : Your question is confused.
The questioner : It is confused.
The Shaykh : Yes. I wanted to ask if there is a difference between a large one and a small one, and then...
The questioner : And if there is a difference, does he sin if he washes the spot, or does he have to repeat the entire ablution?
The Shaykh : It has become a fifth question.
The questioner : Fifth...
The Shaykh : The point, my brother, is that as long as this spot is called a "lamma'ah" (spot) in the Arabic language we speak, there is no restriction regarding whether it is large or small.
The questioner : Yes.
The Shaykh : Then, after that, it is not sufficient for water to merely pass over it; rather, he must repeat his ablution and repeat his prayer if he prayed with that ablution.
The questioner : Yes, exactly.
The Shaykh : Because the hadith you asked about contains both commands: Therefore, it is necessary to renew the ablution and repeat the prayer.
The questioner : Yes, and may Allah reward you with good.
The Shaykh : And you as well.
The questioner : Peace be upon you
The Shaykh : And upon you be peace, and the mercy of Allah and His blessings.
That the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) ordered a man to repeat his ablution because of a spot he saw on his leg.
أن النبيّ صلّى الله عليه وسلّم أمر رجلا بإعادة وضوئه للمعة رآها في رجلهThe Shaykh : I am listening, the question is fine.
The questioner : Let me repeat it.
The Shaykh : No, may Allah guide you, finish it.
The questioner : Yes, but up to here.
The Shaykh : What is the question, my brother? You say, "Zayd is a beginner, he is not standing, he is sitting, he is speaking, he is silent," and so on. You say, "You mentioned a hadith," but where is the question?
The questioner : The question is: Is there a hadith?
That the Prophet ordered a man
أنّ النبيّ أمر رجلاThe Shaykh : That is enough, that is enough. It is permissible, either I or you, one of us.
The questioner :
to repeat his ablution.
أمره أن يعيد وضوءهThe Shaykh : That is enough, that is enough. I understood, I understood. The hadith, the question, you say now, "Is there one?"
The questioner : Yes, is there one?
The Shaykh : Is the question, meaning...
The questioner : Is there an authentic hadith?

The questioner : Yes, exactly.
The Shaykh : Because the hadith you asked about contains both commands:
That the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) saw a man who had prayed and had a spot on his foot, so he said to him: "Go back, perfect your ablution, and repeat your prayer."
أنّ النّبيّ صلّى الله عليه وسلّم رأى رجلا صلّى و على قدمه لمعة فقال له: ارجع فأحسن وضوءك و أعد صلاتكThe questioner : Yes, and may Allah reward you with good.
The Shaykh : And you as well.
The questioner : Peace be upon you
The Shaykh : And upon you be peace, and the mercy of Allah and His blessings.
