The questioner : In the name of Allah, and may the prayer and peace be upon the Messenger of Allah.
May Allah love you: You mentioned last night, regarding the hadith of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), the hadith of Abu Hurayrah in which the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:Sahih al-Bukhari 136.
The Shaykh : They are called.
The questioner :Sahih al-Bukhari 136 And you said: This is an insertion from the words of Abu Hurayrah, namely his saying: Sahih Muslim 246b Ibn Hajar (may Allah preserve him) mentioned.
The Shaykh : (may Allah have mercy on him).
The questioner : (may Allah have mercy on him), he mentioned another hadith and then said:Sahih al-Bukhari 1554 He said: This is a refutation of those who say that this is an insertion.
The Shaykh : The hadith he referred to is in Muslim, but it does not state that Abu Hurayrah went beyond the boundary of the face. It states that he washed his forearms until he began to wash his upper arms, and he washed his feet until he began to wash his lower legs. This is not denied, because it is not possible to wash the elbows unless one begins to wash the upper arms, and it is not possible to wash the ankles unless one begins to wash the lower legs. This is correct, but the addition is what is not authentic; it is from the ijtihad of Abu Hurayrah and is not authentic, because all those who described the wudu of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him and his family) did not mention that he went beyond the ankles by a significant amount.
The questioner : He said:Sunan Abi Dawud 484Sahih (Al-Albani).
The Shaykh : Yes, he saw, meaning he began to wash the upper arm. Now, regarding the forearm, it is not possible to wash the elbow unless one begins to wash the upper arm.
The questioner : May Allah reward you with good.
May Allah love you: You mentioned last night, regarding the hadith of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), the hadith of Abu Hurayrah in which the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:
On the Day of Resurrection, my followers will be called
إن أمتي يدعون يوم القيامةThe Shaykh : They are called.
The questioner :
On the Day of Resurrection, my followers will be called "Al-Ghurr-ul- Muhajjalun" from the trace of ablution and whoever can increase the area of his radiance should do so (i.e. by performing ablution regularly).
يدعون يوم القيامة غراً محجلين من آثار الوضوء، فمن استطاع منكم أن يطيل غرته فليفعلso he who can increase the lustre of his forehead (and that of his hands and legs) should do so.
فمن استطاع منكم أن يطيل غرته فليفعلThe Shaykh : (may Allah have mercy on him).
The questioner : (may Allah have mercy on him), he mentioned another hadith and then said:
he used to say that he had seen the Prophet (ﷺ) doing the same
هكذا رأيت النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم يفعلThe Shaykh : The hadith he referred to is in Muslim, but it does not state that Abu Hurayrah went beyond the boundary of the face. It states that he washed his forearms until he began to wash his upper arms, and he washed his feet until he began to wash his lower legs.

The questioner : He said:
I saw the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) doing so
هكذا رأيت الرسول صلى الله عليه وسلم يفعلThe Shaykh : Yes, he saw, meaning he began to wash the upper arm. Now, regarding the forearm, it is not possible to wash the elbow unless one begins to wash the upper arm.
The questioner : May Allah reward you with good.
