Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh : Then he said: "And from Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him), who said: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Mishkat al-Masabih 306 Muslim narrated it":
His saying (peace and blessings be upon him):Mishkat al-Masabih 306: means something of the movement that is wind.
That is: doubt.
Sahih Muslim 362 :
The intended meaning of "something" here is wind.
Sahih Muslim 362 "Or not": He said: "Am" and this is the most eloquent, and it is permissible to replace it with "aw" or "aw la," but when it comes in such a construction, "am" is preferable.
Sahih Muslim 362 Why?
To perform wudu, and the meaning is not "let him not leave the mosque" because one who has broken his purity is forbidden to remain in the mosque, but rather "let him not leave the mosque" in order to perform wudu.
If what came out has a sound.
If it does not have a sound, because what comes out of wind is either that it has a heard sound, or that it has a smell, or that both things are present, or that both things are absent, but a person becomes certain, like a man who neither smells nor hears, that it has come out even if he did not hear or smell.
This hadith indicates that if a person doubts about a state of ritual impurity while he is in a state of purity, he is not obligated to perform wudu, because the purity is certain and the wudu is... what?
The student: The remaining wudu.
The Shaykh : The remaining and the state of impurity?
The student: Doubtful.
The Shaykh : Doubtful, and certainty is not abandoned for doubt, this is a rule, meaning the scholars derived rules from this hadith, among them: "Certainty is not removed by doubt", and among them: "The original state remains as it was", and among them: "Certainty is removed by the certainty that supervenes upon it", due to his saying:Sunan Abi Dawud 176Sahih (Al-Albani).
If any of you has a pain in his abdomen, but is doubtful whether or not anything has issued from him, he should not leave the mosque unless he hears a sound or perceives a smell.
إذا وجد أحدكم في بطنه شيئاً فأشكل عليه ، أخرج منه شيء أم لا ؟ فلا يخرجن من المسجد حتى يسمع صوتا أو يجد ريحاًHis saying (peace and blessings be upon him):
