حَدَّثَنِي إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ حَمْزَةَ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنِي ابْنُ أَبِي حَازِمٍ، عَنْ يَزِيدَ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، عَنْ عِيسَى بْنِ طَلْحَةَ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ رضى الله عنه عَنِ

النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: «إِذَا اسْتَيْقَظَ أُرَاهُ أَحَدُكُمْ مِنْ مَنَامِهِ فَتَوَضَّأَ فَلْيَسْتَنْثِرْ ثَلَاثًا، فَإِنَّ الشَّيْطَانَ يَبِيتُ عَلَى خَيْشُومِهِ»

The Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) said, “If anyone of you rouses from sleep and performs the ablution, he should wash his nose by putting water in it and then blowing it out thrice, because Satan has stayed in the upper part of his nose all the night.”

আবূ হুরাইরাহ্ (রাঃ) সূত্রে নবী সাল্লাল্লাহু আলাইহি ওয়াসাল্লাম হতে বর্ণিত। তিনি বলেন, ‘তোমাদের কেউ যখন ঘুম হতে উঠল এবং উযূ করল তখন তার উচিত নাক তিনবার ঝেড়ে ফেলা। কারণ, শয়তান তার নাকের ছিদ্রে রাত কাটিয়েছে।’ (মুসলিম ২/৮ হাঃ ২৩৮)

ہم سے ابراہیم بن حمزہ نے بیان کیا، کہا مجھ سے ابن ابی حازم نے بیان کیا، ان سے یزید نے، ان سے محمد بن ابراہیم نے، ان سے عیسیٰ بن طلحہ نے اور ان سے ابوہریرہ رضی اللہ عنہ نے کہ نبی کریم صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم نے فرمایا ”جب کوئی شخص سو کر اٹھے اور پھر وضو کرے تو تین مرتبہ ناک جھاڑے، کیونکہ شیطان رات بھر اس کی ناک کے نتھنے پر بیٹھا رہتا ہے ( جس سے آدمی پر سستی غالب آ جاتی ہے۔ پس ناک جھاڑنے سے وہ سستی دور ہو جائے گی ) ۔“

Ebu Hüreyre r.a.'in şöyle dediği nakledilmiştir: "Bir kimse uyandıktan sonra abdest aldığı zaman üç kere sümkürsün! Çünkü şeytan geceyi onun genzi üzerinde geçirmiştir

What it means

The Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) urges anyone who wakes up from his sleep to make Istinthar, i.e., blowing water out of the nose after sniffing it, three times because the devil spends the night on the nostril, which is the whole nose.

What it teaches

  • It is prescribed for anyone who wakes up from sleep to make Istinthār to remove the devil's traces from his nose, and if he wants to make ablution, then the command to make Istinthār is more confirmed in this case.
  • Istinthār completes the benefit of Istinshāq (sniffing water), because the latter cleans the nose from the inside, whereas the former brings such filth out with the water.
  • This is restricted to night sleep, as indicated by the words "spends the night,"  which only occurs during the night sleep and because one is more likely to sleep deeply and for a long period at night.
  • The Hadīth bears evidence that the devil accompanies man but man does not feel it.
