حَدَّثَنَا عُثْمَانُ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا وَكِيعٌ، حَدَّثَنَا الأَعْمَشُ، عَنْ حَبِيبٍ، عَنْ عُرْوَةَ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ

أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَبَّلَ امْرَأَةً مِنْ نِسَائِهِ ثُمَّ خَرَجَ إِلَى الصَّلَاةِ وَلَمْ يَتَوَضَّأْ. قَالَ عُرْوَةُ فَقُلْتُ لَهَا مَنْ هِيَ إِلاَّ أَنْتِ فَضَحِكَتْ

The Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) kissed one of his wives and went out to pray (salah). He did not perform ablution. Urwah said: I said to her: Who is she except you! Thereupon she laughed.

‘আয়িশাহ্ (রাঃ) সূত্রে বর্ণিত। নবী সাল্লাল্লাহু আলাইহি ওয়াসাল্লাম তাঁর কোন এক স্ত্রীকে চুমো দিলেন, অতঃপর সালাত আদায়ের জন্য বের হলেন, কিন্তু অযু করলেন না। ‘উরওয়াহ বলেনঃ আমি ‘আয়িশাহ্ (রাঃ)-কে বললাম, ‘সেই স্ত্রী আপনি নন কি? ফলে তিনি হেসে দিলেন।[1] সহীহ। ইমাম আবূ দাউদ (রহঃ) বলেন, সুলাইমান আল-আ‘মাশ সূত্রে যায়িদাহ এবং ‘আবদুল হামীদ আল-হিম্মানী অনুরূপ বর্ণনা করেছেন।

ام المؤمنین عائشہ رضی اللہ عنہا کہتی ہیں کہ نبی اکرم صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم نے اپنی ایک بیوی کا بوسہ لیا، پھر نماز کے لیے نکلے اور ( پھر سے ) وضو نہیں کیا۔ عروہ کہتے ہیں: میں نے ان سے کہا: وہ بیوی آپ کے علاوہ اور کون ہو سکتی ہیں؟ یہ سن کر وہ ہنسنے لگیں۔

Aişe (r.anha)'dan, demiştir ki: "Rasulullah (sallallahu aleyhi ve sellem) hanımlarından birini öptü ve sonra abdest almadan namaza çıktı." Urve diyor (ki) Aişe'(r.anha)'ya "O (eşi) senden başkası değildir”dedim. (O da) güldü. Ebu Davud dedi ki: Bu hadisi aynı zamanda Zaide ve Abdülhamid el-Himmani, Süleyman el-A'meş'ten rivayet etmişlerdir. Diğer tahric: Nesai, tahare; Tirmizi, tahare. İbn Mace, tahare; Ahmed b. Hanbel

The note in this edition

قَالَ أَبُو دَاوُدَ: هَكَذَا رَوَاهُ زَائِدَةُ وَعَبْدُ الْحَمِيدِ الْحِمَّانِيُّ عَنْ سُلَيْمَانَ الأَعْمَشِ

Abu Dawud said: The same version has been reported through a different chain of narrators.

What it means

In this Hadīth, ‘Ā’ishah (may Allah be pleased with her) says that the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) kissed one of his wives, then he went to prayer without performing ablution.

'Urwah who narrated the Hadīth from ‘Ā’ishah recognized that the anonymous wife was ‘Ā’ishah herself. When he remarked that, she laughed in confirmation of his correct perception. That the Prophet did not make a new ablution indicates that touching or kissing one's wife does not invalidate one's ablution, whether with lust or without.

The original state is the validity of one's ablution, which does not become invalid, unless there is an indisputable proof. There is no such proof on the termination of the state of ablution at all when touching one's wife. As for the Qur'anic reference to touching women, it means having sexual intercourse with one's wife, according to Ibn ‘Abbās and a group of scholars.

Since kissing one's wife is mostly with lust, this indicates that touching one's wife with lust does not terminate one's ablution. The ablution is terminated only when kissing or touching is accompanied with ejaculation.
