I saw ‘Ammār ibn Yāsir perform ablution, and he ran his fingers through his beard. It was said to him (or he said: I said to him): Do you run your fingers through your beard? He replied: What is there to prevent me if I have seen the Messenger of Allah (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) run his fingers through his beard?
Chapter: [What Has Been narrated] About Going through The Beard
Hassān ibn Bilāl reported: I saw ‘Ammār ibn Yāsir perform ablution, and he ran his fingers through his beard. It was said to him (or he said: "I said to him"): "Do you run your fingers through your beard?" He replied: "What is there to prevent me if I have seen the Messenger of Allah (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) run his fingers through his beard?"
Hassān ibn Bilāl informs us that he saw ‘Ammār ibn Yāsir run his fingers through his beard while performing ablution. He asked him about it because it surprised him as he had not known about it before seeing ‘Ammār ibn Yāsir do this.
"What is there to prevent me if I have seen the Messenger of Allah (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) run his fingers through his beard?" ‘Ammār (may Allah be pleased with him) replied by saying that nothing prevented him from doing so as he had seen the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) himself do it.
Takhlīl al-Lilyah (running your fingers through your beard) can be performed in two ways:
1. Taking a handful of water, placing it under your beard, and then rubbing it so that the water goes through it.
2. Taking a handful of water and running your fingers through your beard like a comb.
Explanation in Arabic
يخبر حسان بن بلال أنه رأى عمار بن ياسر يخلل لحيته في الوضوء، فسأله عن تخليل اللحية في الوضوء، كأنه تعجب من هذه الصفة التي لم يكن يعلمها من قبل إلا عندما رأى عمار بن ياسر يفعل ذلك.
فأجابه عمار رضي الله عنه بأنه ليس هناك ما يمنع من تخليلها، وقد رأيت رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم يفعل ذلك.
وتخليل اللحية له صفتان:
الأولى: أن يأخذ كَفَّا من ماء، ويجعله تحتها ويَعْرُكُها حتى تتخلل به.
الثانية: أن يأخذ كَفَّا من ماء، ويخللها بأصابعه كالمُشْط.
حرص عمار بن ياسر -رضي الله- على متابعة سنة النبي -صلى الله عليه وسلم-.
مشروعية تخليل اللحية في الوضوء، وهو تفريقها وإسالة الماء فيما بينها؛ ليدخل ماء الوضوء خلال الشعر، ويصل إلى البشرة، وهذا إذا كانت اللحية كثيفة بحيث لا تُرى ظاهر البشرة التي تحتها، أما إن كانت خفيفة تُرى ظاهر البشرة فالواجب غسلها وما تحتها.
