Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The reciter: Al-Humaydi narrated to us, saying: Sufyan narrated to us, saying: Al-A'mash narrated to us.
The Shaykh : What?
The questioner : It is to be.
The Shaykh : We have "it is to be," and in one copy it is "it is to be"; there are two copies.
The reciter: From Salim ibn Abi al-Ja'd from Kuraib from Ibn Abbas from Maymunah:Sahih al-Bukhari 260.
The Shaykh : This hadith, as al-Bukhari (may Allah have mercy on him) mentioned, indicates that if a person needs to wipe his hand with earth from major ritual impurity, let him do so. In our present time, we do not need this because water is abundant among us; a person adds one or two washes and the effect of the major ritual impurity is removed. But in the time of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), water was scarce, and as has passed us, he used to perform the full ritual bath with a sa' (a dry measure of about 3 kg). This means that it is necessary for him to strike or wipe his hand with earth so that it becomes cleaner.

The reciter: From Salim ibn Abi al-Ja'd from Kuraib from Ibn Abbas from Maymunah:
The Prophet (ﷺ) took the bath of Janaba. (sexual relation or wet dream). He first cleaned his private parts with his hand, and then rubbed it (that hand) on the wall (earth) and washed it. Then he performed ablution like that for the prayer, and after the bath he washed his feet.
أن النبي صلّى الله عليه وسلم اغتسل من الجنابة فغسل فرجه بيده ثم دلك بها الحائط ثم غسلها ثم توضأ وضوءه للصلاة فلما فرغ من غسله غسل رجليهThe Shaykh : This hadith, as al-Bukhari (may Allah have mercy on him) mentioned, indicates that if a person needs to wipe his hand with earth from major ritual impurity, let him do so.
