حَدَّثَنَا مُوسَى بْنُ إِسْمَاعِيلَ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبَانُ، حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى، عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ، عَنْ عَطَاءِ بْنِ يَسَارٍ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، قَالَ بَيْنَمَا رَجُلٌ يُصَلِّي مُسْبِلاً إِزَارَهُ إِذْ قَالَ لَهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم ‏"‏ اذْهَبْ فَتَوَضَّأْ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ فَذَهَبَ فَتَوَضَّأَ ثُمَّ جَاءَ ثُمَّ قَالَ ‏"‏ اذْهَبْ فَتَوَضَّأْ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ فَذَهَبَ فَتَوَضَّأَ ثُمَّ جَاءَ فَقَالَ لَهُ رَجُلٌ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ مَا لَكَ أَمَرْتَهُ أَنَّ يَتَوَضَّأَ فَقَالَ ‏"‏

إِنَّهُ كَانَ يُصَلِّي وَهُوَ مُسْبِلٌ إِزَارَهُ وَإِنَّ اللَّهَ تَعَالَى لاَ يَقْبَلُ صَلاَةَ رَجُلٍ مُسْبِلٍ إِزَارَهُ ‏"

Abu Hurairah said :

while a man was praying letting his lower garment trail, the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said to him: Go and perform ablution. He, therefore, went and performed ablution and then returned. He (the prophet) again said: Go and perform ablution. He again went, performed ablution and returned. A man said to him (the prophet): Messenger of Allah, why did you order him to perform ablution? He said: he was praying with lower garment trailing, and does not accept the prayer of a man who lets his lower garment trail.

Reported by Abu Dawud (No. 638, 4086) and Ahmad (No. 16033, 22133).

Al-Azimabadi — Awn al-Ma'bud

( اِذْهَبْ فَتَوَضَّأْ ) قِيلَ : لَعَلَّ السِّرّ فِي أَمْره بِالتَّوَضُّؤِ وَهُوَ طَاهِر أَنْ يَتَفَكَّر الرَّجُل فِي سَبَب ذَلِكَ الْأَمْر فَيَقِف عَلَى مَا يَرْتَكِبهُ مِنْ الْمَكْرُوه وَأَنَّ اللَّه بِبَرَكَةِ أَمْر رَسُوله عَلَيْهِ السَّلَام إِيَّاهُ بِطَهَارَةِ الظَّاهِر يُطَهِّر بَاطِنه مِنْ دَنَس الْكِبْر , لِأَنَّ طَهَارَة الظَّاهِر مُؤَثِّرَة فِي طَهَارَة الْبَاطِن. ذَكَرَهُ الطِّيبِيُّ ( فَذَهَبَ فَتَوَضَّأَ ثُمَّ جَاءَ ) : فَكَأَنَّهُ جَاءَ غَيْر مُسْبِل إِزَاره ( مَا لَك أَمَرْته أَنْ يَتَوَضَّأ ) : أَيْ وَالْحَال أَنَّهُ طَاهِر. قَالَ فِي الْمِرْقَاة بَعْد شَرْح هَذَا الْحَدِيث. وَقَدْ أَخْرَجَ الطَّبَرَانِيُّ أَنَّهُ عَلَيْهِ السَّلَام أَبْصَرَ رَجُلًا يُصَلِّي وَقَدْ أَسْدَلَ…
