حَدَّثَنَا مُوسَى، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو عَوَانَةَ، عَنْ أَبِي بِشْرٍ، عَنْ يُوسُفَ بْنِ مَاهَكَ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَمْرٍو

قَالَ تَخَلَّفَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَنَّا فِي سَفْرَةٍ سَافَرْنَاهَا، فَأَدْرَكَنَا وَقَدْ أَرْهَقْنَا الْعَصْرَ، فَجَعَلْنَا نَتَوَضَّأُ وَنَمْسَحُ عَلَى أَرْجُلِنَا، فَنَادَى بِأَعْلَى صَوْتِهِ «وَيْلٌ لِلأَعْقَابِ مِنَ النَّارِ». مَرَّتَيْنِ أَوْ ثَلَاثًا

The Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) remained behind us on a journey. He joined us while we were performing ablution for the Asr prayer which was overdue and we were just passing wet hands over our feet (not washing them thoroughly) so he addressed us in a loud voice saying twice, “Save your heels from the fire.”

‘আবদুল্লাহ্ ইবনু ‘আমর (রাযি.) হতে বর্ণিত। তিনি বলেনঃ নবী সাল্লাল্লাহু আলাইহি ওয়াসাল্লাম এক সফরে আমাদের পিছনে রয়ে গিয়েছিলেন, অতঃপর তিনি আমাদের নিকট পৌঁছে গেলেন। তখন আমরা আসরের সালাত শুরু করতে দেরী করে ফেলেছিলাম। তাই আমরা উযূ করছিলাম এবং (তাড়াতাড়ির কারণে) আমাদের পা মাসেহ করার মতো হালকাভাবে ধুয়ে নিচ্ছিলাম। তখন তিনি উচ্চৈস্বঃরে বললেনঃ ‘পায়ের গোড়ালিগুলোর জন্য জাহান্নামের শাস্তি রয়েছে।’ দু’বার অথবা তিনবার তিনি এ কথার পুনরাবৃত্তি করলেন। (৬০)

ہم سے موسیٰ نے بیان کیا، ان سے ابوعوانہ نے، وہ ابوبشر سے، وہ یوسف بن ماہک سے، وہ عبداللہ بن عمرو رضی اللہ عنہما سے روایت کرتے ہیں، وہ کہتے ہیں کہ ( ایک مرتبہ ) رسول اللہ صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ایک سفر میں ہم سے پیچھے رہ گئے۔ پھر ( تھوڑی دیر بعد ) آپ صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم نے ہم کو پا لیا اور عصر کا وقت آ پہنچا تھا۔

ہم وضو کرنے لگے اور ( اچھی طرح پاؤں دھونے کی بجائے جلدی میں ) ہم پاؤں پر مسح کرنے لگے۔ آپ صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم نے فرمایا «ويل للأعقاب من النار» ”ایڑیوں کے لیے آگ کا عذاب ہے“ دو مرتبہ یا تین مرتبہ فرمایا۔

Telah menceritakan kepada kami [Musa] berkata, telah menceritakan kepada kami [Abu 'Awanah] dari [Abu Bisyir] dari [Yusuf bin Mahak] dari [Abdullah bin 'Amru] berkata, "Nabi shallallahu 'alaihi wasallam pernah tertinggal dari kami dalam suatu perjalanan yang kami lakukan, beliau lalu dapat menyusul saat kami hampir kehabisan waktu shalat 'Ashar sehingga kami berwudlu dengan hanya mengusap kaki kami.

Maka Nabi shallallahu 'alaihi wasallam berseru dengan suara yang keras: "Tumit-tumit yang tidak terkena air wudlu akan masuk ke dalam neraka." Beliau ucapkan itu hingga tiga kali

Abdullah İbn Amr (r.a.) şöyle demiştir: Bir yolculukta Nebi (Sallallahu aleyhi ve Sellem) bizden arkada kalmıştı. ikindi vakti girdiğinde bize yetişti. Biz abdest alırken ayaklarımıza mesh yapıyorduk. Nebi s.a.v. en yüksek sesi ile iki veya üç kere şöyle bağırdı: "Ateşte yanacak topukların vay haline

What it means

The Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) traveled from Makkah to Madīnah with his Companions, and on their way they found water. Some of the Companions hurried to perform ablution for the ‘Asr prayer, so much so that the backs of their feet appeared to the observer to be dry. So, the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) said: There will be punishment and destruction in Hellfire for those who fail to wash the backs of their feet during ablution. He ordered them to perform ablution perfectly.

What it teaches

  • It is obligatory to wash the feet during ablution. This is because if wiping were permissible, whoever neglects to wash the heel would not be threatened with Hellfire.
  • It is obligatory to wash the whole parts that must be washed, and whoever leaves even a small part of what must be washed, intentionally and out of negligence, his prayer is not valid.
  • The Hadīth demonstrates the significance of teaching and guiding the ignorant.
  • A knowledgeable person should criticize when he sees the neglect of the obligatory and supererogatory acts of worship in an appropriate manner.
  • Muhammad Is-hāq ad-Dahlawi said: The proper performance of ablution is of three kinds: obligatory: to wash the part once. Sunnah: to wash it three times. Recommended: to wash it three times in a thorough manner.
