Explaining Sahih Muslim Book 2 - Hadith 109-120

 

Chapter 26: It is disliked for the person who wants to perform wudu’, and others, to put his hand in the vessel (containing water) before washing it three times, if he is not sure whether something impure is on his hands or not.

 

Abu Huraira said:

 

When anyone amongst you wakes up from sleep, he must not put his hand in the utensil till he has washed it three times, for he does not know where his hand was during the night. (Explaining Sahih Muslim Book 2 - Hadith 109)

 

This hadith is transmitted from Abu Huraira by another chain of transmitters. (Explaining Sahih Muslim Book 2 - Hadith 110)

 

Zahri and Ibn Musayyab have both transmitted a hadith like this from Abu Huraira who narrated it from the Apostle (ﷺ). (Explaining Sahih Muslim Book 2 - Hadith 111)

 

Abu Huraira reported:

 

The Apostle of Allah (ﷺ) said: When anyone amongst you wakes up from sleep, he should wash his hands three times before putting it in the utensil, for he does not know where his hand was during the night. (Explaining Sahih Muslim Book 2 - Hadith 112)

 

This hadith has been transmitted through other chains of transmitters on the authority of Abu Huraira in which it is reported that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) made a mention of washing the hand, and did not instruct to wash it three times. But the hadith narrated from Jabir and Ibn Musayyab. Abu Salama, and Abdullah b. Shaqiq, Abu Salih, Abla Razin, there is a mention of" three times". (Explaining Sahih Muslim Book 2 - Hadith 113)

 

Chapter 27: Rulings on what was licked by a dog.

 

Abu Huraira reported the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) to have said:

 

When a dog licks a utensil belonging to any one of you, (the thing contained in it) should be thrown away and then (the utensil) should be washed seven times. (Explaining Sahih Muslim Book 2 - Hadith 114)

 

This hadith has been transmitted by another chain of transmitters in which there is no mention of" throwing away". (Explaining Sahih Muslim Book 2 - Hadith 115)

 

Abu Huraira reported:

 

The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: When a dog drinks out of a vessel belonging to any one of you, he must wash it seven times. (Explaining Sahih Muslim Book 2 - Hadith 116)

 

Abu Huraira reported:

 

The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: The purification of the utensil belonging to any one of you, after it is licked by a dog, lies in washing it seven times, using sand for the first time. (Explaining Sahih Muslim Book 2 - Hadith 117)

 

Hammam b. Munabbih reported:

 

Of the a hadith narrated by Abu Huraira from Muhammad, the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ), one is this: The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: The purification of the utensil belonging to one amongst you, after it is licked by a dog, lies in washing it seven times. (Explaining Sahih Muslim Book 2 - Hadith 118)

 

Ibn Mughaffal reported:

 

The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) ordered killing of the dogs, and then said: What about them, i. e. about other dogs? and then granted concession (to keep) the dog for hunting and the dog for (the security) of the herd, and said: When the dog licks the utensil, wash it seven times, and rub it with earth the eighth time. (Explaining Sahih Muslim Book 2 - Hadith 119)

 

A hadith like this has been narrated from Shu'ba with the same chain of transmitters except for the fact that in the hadith transmitted by Yahya those words are:

 

"He (the Holy Prophet) gave concession in the case of the dog for looking after the herd, for hunting and for watching the cultivated land," and there is no mention of this addition (i. e. concession in case of watching the cultivated lands) except in the hadith transmitted by Yahya. (Explaining Sahih Muslim Book 2 - Hadith 120)
