Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The reciter: Amr ibn Ali narrated to us, saying: Abd al-Wahhab narrated to us, saying: I heard Yahya ibn Sa'id say: Sa'd ibn Ibrahim informed me that Nafi' ibn Jubayr ibn Mutt'im informed him that he heard Urwah ibn al-Mughirah ibn Shu'bah narrating from al-Mughirah ibn Shu'bah: Sahih al-Bukhari 182.
The Shaykh : In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. The author has established a heading for this chapter, but it is more specific than the evidence, because the heading is: "The Chapter of a Man Performing Ablution for His Companion", whereas the evidence is only about pouring water on the one performing ablution, and there is a difference between the two. The meaning of "performing ablution for his companion" is that he directly assists in his ablution: he takes his hand and washes his companion's face, takes his hand and washes his hands, takes his hand and wipes his head, and takes his hand and washes his feet. This is what I mean by the heading being more specific than the evidence. However, it seems that al-Bukhari (may Allah have mercy on him) intended to apply analogy, or that there is a hadith indicating this, but it is not according to his conditions. Therefore, we need to read al-Fath now.
I was in the company of Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) on one of the journeys and he went out to answer the call of nature (and after he finished) I poured water and he performed ablution; he washed his face, forearms and passed his wet hand over his head and over the two Khuff (socks made from thick fabric or leather).
