The questioner : The report of Abu Hurayrah regarding washing the hands up to the shoulders and the feet up to the knees, does it not serve as evidence that this is a recommended practice, especially from Ibn 'Umar and his following of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him)? Did the Hafiz authenticate this report?
The Shaykh : May Allah reward you. If a hadith comes from the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him), it is not contradicted in any way, by anything, ever. Ibn 'Umar, who is the narrator of the hadith regarding the command to let the beard grow, used to trim his beard when he performed Hajj or 'Umrah. Ibn al-Qayyim (may Allah have mercy on him) mentioned in *Al-alam al-Muqin* approximately twenty instances where a narrator contradicted what he narrated. It is good that you review them.
