Authentic 3 scholars’ grades Sunan an-Nasa'i 130

Narrator:Ali

أَخْبَرَنَا عَمْرُو بْنُ يَزِيدَ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا بَهْزُ بْنُ أَسَدٍ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الْمَلِكِ بْنِ مَيْسَرَةَ، قَالَ سَمِعْتُ النَّزَّالَ بْنَ سَبْرَةَ، قَالَ رَأَيْتُ عَلِيًّا - رضى الله عنه - صَلَّى الظُّهْرَ ثُمَّ قَعَدَ لِحَوَائِجِ النَّاسِ

فَلَمَّا حَضَرَتِ الْعَصْرُ أُتِيَ بِتَوْرٍ مِنْ مَاءٍ فَأَخَذَ مِنْهُ كَفًّا فَمَسَحَ بِهِ وَجْهَهُ وَذِرَاعَيْهِ وَرَأْسَهُ وَرِجْلَيْهِ ثُمَّ أَخَذَ فَضْلَهُ فَشَرِبَ قَائِمًا وَقَالَ إِنَّ نَاسًا يَكْرَهُونَ هَذَا وَقَدْ رَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم يَفْعَلُهُ وَهَذَا وُضُوءُ مَنْ لَمْ يُحْدِثْ

An-Nazzal bin Sabrah said:

"I saw 'Ali (may Allah be please with him) praying Zuhr, then he sat to tend to the people's needs, and when the time for 'Asr came, a vessel of water was brought to him. He took a handful of it and wiped his face, forearms, head and feet with it, then he took what was left and drank standing up. He said: 'People dislike this, but I saw the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) doing it. This is the Wudu' of one who has not committed Hadath."

Reported by An-Nasa’i (No. 130) and Ahmad (No. 1247).

Al-Sindi — Hashiyat al-Sindi on Sunan al-Nasa'i

قَوْله ( وَهَذَا وُضُوء مَنْ لَمْ يُحْدِث ) فَبَيَّنَ أَنَّ لِغَيْرِ الْمُحْدِث أَنْ يَكْتَفِي بِالْمَسْحِ مَوْضِع الْغَسْل وَلَعَلَّ مَا جَاءَ مِنْ مَسْح الرِّجْلَيْنِ مِنْ بَعْض الصَّحَابَة أَحْيَانًا إِنْ صَحَّ يَكُون مَحَلّه غَيْر حَالَة الْحَدَث وَاَللَّه تَعَالَى أَعْلَم.…
