Narrator:Laqīt ibn Sabira

حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْوَهَّابِ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْحَكَمِ الْبَغْدَادِيُّ الْوَرَّاقُ، وَأَبُو عَمَّارٍ الْحُسَيْنُ بْنُ حُرَيْثٍ قَالاَ حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ سُلَيْمٍ، حَدَّثَنِي إِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ كَثِيرٍ، قَالَ سَمِعْتُ عَاصِمَ بْنَ لَقِيطِ بْنِ صَبْرَةَ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، قَالَ قُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَخْبِرْنِي عَنِ الْوُضُوءِ، ‏.‏ قَالَ ‏

"‏ أَسْبِغِ الْوُضُوءَ وَخَلِّلْ بَيْنَ الأَصَابِعِ وَبَالِغْ فِي الاِسْتِنْشَاقِ إِلاَّ أَنْ تَكُونَ صَائِمًا ‏"

Laqīt ibn Sabirah (may Allah be pleased with him) reported:

I was the leader of or among the delegation of Banu al-Muntafiq that came to the Messenger of Allah (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him). When we arrived, we did not find him in his house. We found ‘Ā’ishah, the Mother of the Believers, there. He said: She ordered that a dish called Khazīrah be prepared for us, and it was. He said: And a tray containing dates was presented to us. Then, the Messenger of Allah (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) came and asked: "Has anything been served to you or ordered for you?" He said: We replied: Yes, O Messenger of Allah. He said: While we were sitting in the company of the Messenger of Allah (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him), a shepherd suddenly drove his herd of sheep to their fold. He had with him a newly-born lamb that was crying. He (the Prophet) asked him: "What did it bear, O so-and-so?" He replied: An ewe. He said: "Slaughter for us a sheep in place of it." Then, he said: "Do not think that we are slaughtering it for you. We have one hundred sheep and we do not want their number to increase. So, whenever an ewe is born, we slaughter a sheep in its place." He said: I said: O Messenger of Allah, I have a wife who has something (wrong) in her tongue, i.e., she is foul-mouthed. He said: "Then divorce her." I said: O Messenger of Allah, we have been together for a long time, and I have children from her. He said: "Then, command her," meaning: advise her. "If there is goodness in her, she will comply. And do not beat your wife as you beat your slave-girl." I said: O Messenger of Allah, tell me about ablution. He said: "Perform ablution thoroughly, pass your fingers through each other, and sniff water well into your nose unless you are fasting."

Explanation

Laqīt ibn Saburah (may Allah be pleased with him) informed that he came to the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) with others from his people, Banu al-Muntafiq. He said: We did not find him in his house, but we found the Mother of the Believers, ‘Ā’ishah (may Allah be pleased with her). She ordered that a broth be prepared for us from flour and fat, and a plate containing dates was served to us. Then the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) came and asked: Was any food offered to you? We said: Yes. Laqīt said: While we were sitting with him (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him), the shepherd of the Prophet's sheep came driving the sheep to their place of rest, carrying a crying young goat with him. The Prophet asked: What did it give birth to? He replied: A female. He said: Then slaughter for us in its place a grown sheep. Then he (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) said: Do not think that we are taking trouble or slaughtering it for your sake; rather, we have a flock of one hundred sheep, and we do not wish their number to exceed that. So whenever a new lamb is born, we slaughter one in its place. Laqīt said: I said: O Messenger of Allah, my wife has a sharp tongue and speaks indecently. What should I do with her? He replied: Then divorce her. He said: I said: O Messenger of Allah, she has been my companion for a long time, and I have children from her. He said: Then advise her, for if there is any good in her, she will respond to your admonition. And if she does not respond, then beat her, but not severely, and do not beat her as you would beat your servants. Laqīt, then, said: O Messenger of Allah, tell me about ablution. He said: Let the water reach all its proper places during ablution, and give each body part its due. Do not neglect any of its obligations or Sunnah acts. Separate the fingers of your hands and feet while washing them, and be thorough in drawing water into your nose and blowing it out, except if you have intended to fast, so that water does not enter your stomach.

Lessons

  • The legitimacy of honoring the guest.
  • There are two types of Isbāgh (perfecting ablution): 1. Obligatory Isbāgh, which is required for the validity of ablution. It refers to thoroughly washing the required area and ensuring complete coverage. 2. Recommended Isbāgh, which is not required for the validity of ablution. It refers to what exceeds the obligatory, such as the second and third washes of the body part. This type is recommended.
  • It is recommended to run wet fingers between the fingers and toes when washing them during ablution, i.e., ensuring that water reaches between them.
  • At-Tībi said: The Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) only mentioned some of the Sunnah acts of ablution in his response because the questioner was already knowledgeable about the basic ruling of ablution.
  • Among the noble traits of the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) was his attentiveness to the feelings of others and his consideration for their emotional states.
  • This Hadīth indicates the obligation of rinsing the mouth in ablution.
  • The Hadīth is evidence of the recommendation to exaggerate in sniffing water (during ablution), except for a fasting person—for whom it is not recommended—so that the exaggeration does not cause water to reach the throat and thereby invalidate the fast.
  • It is evident that emigration is not obligatory upon everyone who embraces Islam; for example, Banu al-Muntafiq and others did not migrate but rather sent their delegations. And this applies if a person resides in a place where he is able to practice his religion openly.

Explanation in Arabic

أخبر لقيط بن صبرة رضي الله عنه أنه وفد إلى النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم مع غيره من قومه بني المنتفق، قال:

فلم نجده في منزله، ووجدنا أم المؤمنين عائشة رضي الله عنها، فأمرت أن يصنع لنا حَسَاء من دقيق ودسم، وقُدم لنا طبق فيه تمر.

ثم جاء صلى الله عليه وسلم، فقال: هل قُدم لكم شيئ من الطعام؟

قلنا: نعم، قال لقيط: فبينما نحن جلوس معه صلى الله عليه وسلم، إذ جاء راعي غنم النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم يسوقها إلى مكان مبيتها، ويحمل معه ولد معز يصيح، فقال: ما ولَّدت؟

قال: أنثى.

قال: فاذبح لنا مكانها شاة بالغة، ثم قال صلى الله عليه وسلم:

لا تحسِبن أنَّا من أجلكم تكلفنا وذبحناها، وإنما لنا غنم عددها مائة، ولا نريد أن تزيد عن هذا العدد، فإذا جاء مولود جديد ذبحنا مكانه، قال لقيط:

قلت: يا رسول الله، إن زوجتي لسانها طويل وذو فُحش، فكيف أصنع معها؟

قال: فطلقها إذن.

قال: قلت: يا رسول الله إن لها صحبة قديمة معي، ولي منها ذرية.

قال: فعظها، فإن يك فيها خير فستستجيب لوعظك، وإن لم تستجيب فاضربها ضربًا غير مبرح، ولا تضربها كضربك عبيدك.

ثم قال لقيط: يا رسول الله، أخبرني عن الوضوء.

قال: أبلغ الماء أثناء الوضوء مواضعه، وأوف كل عضو حقه، ولا تترك شيئًا من فرائضه وسننه، وفرق أصابع يديك ورجليك أثناء غسلها، وبالغ في جذب الماء داخل أنفك أثناء الوضوء وإخراجه إلا أن تكون قد عقدت الصيام كي لا يدخل الماء لجوفك.

  • مشروعية إكرام الضيف.
  • الإسباغ نوعان: 1. إسباغ واجب، وهو ما لا يتم الوضوء إلا به، ويراد به غسل المحل واستيعابه، 2. إسباغ مستحب، وهو ما يتم الوضوء بدونه، ويراد به ما زاد على الواجب من الغسلة الثانية والثالثة، فهذا مندوب إليه.
  • استحباب تخليل أصابع اليدين والرجلين عند غسلهما، وتخليلهما جعل الماء يصل بينهما.
  • قال الطيبي: وإنما أجاب النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم عن بعض سنن الوضوء؛ لأن السائل كان عارفًا بأصل الوضوء.
  • من محاسن شمائل النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم اهتمامه بمشاعر الآخرين ومراعاة نفسياتهم.
  • الحديث دليل على وجوب المضمضة في الوضوء.
  • الحديث دليل على استحباب المبالغة في الاستنشاق إلا للصائم فليست مستحبة؛ لئلا تؤدي المبالغة في الاستنشاق إلى دخول الماء من الأنف إلى الحلق فيفسد الصوم.
  • فيه دليل على أنه لا تجب الهجرة على كل من أسلم؛ لأن بني المنتفق وغيرهم لم يهاجروا بل أرسلوا وفودهم وهو كذلك إذا كان في موضع يقدر على إظهار الدين فيه.

I was the leader of the delegation of Banu al-Muntafiq or (the narrator doubted) I was among the delegation of Banu al-Muntafiq that came to the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ).

The Prophet (ﷺ) then came shortly with rapid strides inclining forward. The narrator used the word ‘asidah (name of a dish) in this version instead of Khazirah.
