Explanation of the Book of Purification-11
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh :" And from Luqman ibn Sabrah (may Allah be pleased with him), who said: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Sunan Abi Dawud 142Sahih (Al-Albani) "
This means to encompass all the limbs that one is commanded to purify, because the meaning of thoroughness (isbagh) is comprehensiveness and generality, as Allah the Exalted said: [Luqman 31:20]. Accordingly, this is an indication of the manner, not the quantity; that is, it does not include repeating the washing of what is prescribed to be washed repeatedly, but rather the intent is comprehensiveness. If the intent is comprehensiveness, then the command here is for obligation. If it includes both comprehensiveness and quantity, then the command here is shared between obligation and recommendation.
And his saying: Wudu' is the purification of the four limbs in a specific manner.
Interlace between them, meaning: insert your fingers between the fingers.
Is the intent the fingers of the hand, the fingers of the foot, or both?
The apparent meaning of the hadith is both, that one interlaces the fingers of the hands and the fingers of the feet, but it is more emphasized for the feet, because the closeness of the fingers in the foot is greater than their closeness in the hand.
And his saying: Sniffing water is drawing water with the breath into the inside of the nose.
Sunan Abi Dawud 2366Sahih (Al-Albani) This means do not be thorough in sniffing water, out of fear that the water may descend from the nose to the stomach, and this would be a cause for breaking the fast.
" It was narrated by the four, and Ibn Khuzaymah graded it as authentic ".
Perform ablution in full and make the fingers go through the beard and snuff with water well except when you are fasting.
أسبغ الوضوء وخلل بين الأصابع وبالغ في الاستنشاق إلا أن تكون صائماًPerform wudu' thoroughly
أسبغ الوضوءand amply bestowed upon you His favors, [both] apparent and unapparent
وأسبغ عليكم نعمه ظاهرة وباطنةAnd his saying:
Perform wudu' thoroughly
أسبغ الوضوءAnd interlace these fingers
وخلل هذه الأصابعIs the intent the fingers of the hand, the fingers of the foot, or both?
The apparent meaning of the hadith is both, that one interlaces the fingers of the hands and the fingers of the feet, but it is more emphasized for the feet, because the closeness of the fingers in the foot is greater than their closeness in the hand.
And his saying:
And be thorough in sniffing water
وبالغ في الاستنشاقunless you are fasting
إلا أن تكون صائماً" It was narrated by the four, and Ibn Khuzaymah graded it as authentic ".
