Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The reciter: Abdullah ibn Muhammad narrated to us, saying: Hashim ibn al-Qasim narrated to us, saying: Warqa' narrated to us from 'Ubayd Allah ibn Abi Yazid from Ibn 'Abbas: Mishkat al-Masabih 30:163.
The Shaykh : In it: "I placed"?
The reader:Mishkat al-Masabih 30:163.
The Shaykh : "Wad'u" with a fathah on the waw means the water used for ablution, while "wudu'" with a dammah on the waw refers to the act itself. When water is brought to a man for him to perform ablution, it is called "wad'u." Then, when he begins the act, it is said, "He began his wudu'" with a dammah on the waw.
And his saying:Sahih al-Bukhari 143 encompasses all matters of the religion, both theoretical and practical. This is like the saying of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him and his family): .
If someone were to ask: What is the connection between this supplication and the action of 'Abdullah ibn 'Abbas?
The answer, and Allah knows best, is that since this action by Ibn 'Abbas was based on deduction, and one who enters the place of relief is in need of ablution, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) made this supplication for him.
The Prophet entered the privy and I placed water for him. On coming out he asked who had placed it
أن النبي صلى الله عليه وسلّم دخل الخلاء ، فوضعت له وضوءا قال : من وضع هذا ؟The Shaykh : In it: "I placed"?
The reader:
I placed water for him. On coming out he asked who had placed it, and when he was told he said, "0 God, give him insight regarding the religion."
فوضعت له وضوءا ، قال : من وضع هذا ؟. فأُخبر فقال : اللهم فقهه في الدينThe Shaykh : "Wad'u" with a fathah on the waw means the water used for ablution, while "wudu'" with a dammah on the waw refers to the act itself. When water is brought to a man for him to perform ablution, it is called "wad'u." Then, when he begins the act, it is said, "He began his wudu'" with a dammah on the waw.
And his saying:
O Allah! Make him (Ibn `Abbas) a learned scholar in religion (Islam).
اللهم فقهه في الدينWhoever Allah wishes good for, He grants him understanding in the religion.
من يرد الله فيه خيرا يفقهه في الدينIf someone were to ask: What is the connection between this supplication and the action of 'Abdullah ibn 'Abbas?
The answer, and Allah knows best, is that since this action by Ibn 'Abbas was based on deduction, and one who enters the place of relief is in need of ablution, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) made this supplication for him.
