The Shaykh : And his saying: Sunan an-Nasa'i 92Sahih (Darussalam) : Yes.
In the hadith of 'Abdullah ibn Zayd, he said:Bulugh al-Maram 54 :
This could be like the hadith of 'Ali, and his saying: refers to the gargling and sniffing, and his saying: Yes, in my view it is one: Or one in your view?
The student: One.
The Shaykh : Using the masculine form, meaning, so here it matches the hadith of 'Ali. It is also possible that he takes a palm, gargles and sniffs with it, then takes another palm, then another palm, based on his saying: This is the most likely interpretation. Accordingly, there are three descriptions for gargling and sniffing:
A weak description, a description that is permissible but not the strongest, and a strong description. What is the weak one?
The student: That he separates the gargling from the sniffing.
The Shaykh : That he separates the gargling from the sniffing. And the one that is permissible but not that strong?
The student: That he does it with one palm, three times, three times.
The Shaykh : That he does the gargling and sniffing with one palm, three times, three times. Good.
Come on, 'Abdullah, and the third description?
The student: The third description is that he makes a palm for each of the gargling and the sniffing, meaning he sniffs and gargles from one palm.
The Shaykh : From one palm, then he gargles and sniffs, then he gargles and sniffs from a palm. Good, these are three descriptions. The well-known view among the jurists is that they are all permissible, meaning they are all recommended practice (sunnah). Accordingly, we should do this one way sometimes and that one way other times. But there is no doubt that the most established and authentic is the hadith of 'Abdullah ibn Zayd, because it is agreed upon by al-Bukhari and Muslim, and the person has a choice.
Then, some people, when they combine the gargling and sniffing for all three times in one palm, nothing remains in their palm. So if nothing remains in their palm, the gargling and sniffing become difficult, so we return to the description indicated by the hadith of 'Abdullah ibn Zayd: we take a palm for the gargling and sniffing, another palm for the second time, and a third palm for the third time.
rinsed his mouth and nose three times from the hand with which he took the water
واستنثر ثلاثا يمضمض ويستنشق من الكف الذي يأخذ به الماءIn the hadith of 'Abdullah ibn Zayd, he said:
rinsed (his mouth) and sniffed up and blew (his nose) from one scoop (of water). He did that three times.
فتمضمض واستنشق من كف واحدة يفعل ذلك ثلاثاThis could be like the hadith of 'Ali, and his saying:
doing that three times
يفعل ذلك ثلاثاfrom one palm
من كف واحدةfrom one palm
من كف واحدةThe student: One.
The Shaykh : Using the masculine form, meaning
from one palm
من كف واحدdoing that three times
يفعل ذلك ثلاثاA weak description, a description that is permissible but not the strongest, and a strong description. What is the weak one?
The student: That he separates the gargling from the sniffing.
The Shaykh : That he separates the gargling from the sniffing. And the one that is permissible but not that strong?
The student: That he does it with one palm, three times, three times.
