أَخْبَرَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ، عَنْ مَالِكٍ، عَنْ صَفْوَانَ بْنِ سُلَيْمٍ، عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ سَلَمَةَ

أَنَّ الْمُغِيرَةَ بْنَ أَبِي بُرْدَةَ، مِنْ بَنِي عَبْدِ الدَّارِ أَخْبَرَهُ أَنَّهُ، سَمِعَ أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ، يَقُولُ سَأَلَ رَجُلٌ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقَالَ: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنَّا نَرْكَبُ الْبَحْرَ وَنَحْمِلُ مَعَنَا الْقَلِيلَ مِنَ الْمَاءِ فَإِنْ تَوَضَّأْنَا بِهِ عَطِشْنَا أَفَنَتَوَضَّأُ مِنْ مَاءِ الْبَحْرِ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «هُوَ الطَّهُورُ مَاؤُهُ الْحِلُّ مَيْتَتُهُ»

“A man asked the Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam): ‘O Messenger of Allah, we travel by sea and we take a little water with us, but if we use it for Wudu’, we will go thirsty. Can we perform Wudu, with sea-water?” The Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) said: ‘Its water is a means of purification and its dead meat is permissible.’

কুতায়বা (রহঃ) ... মুগীরা ইবনু আবূ বুরদাহ (রহঃ) থেকে বর্ণিত। তিনি আবূ হুরায়রা (রাঃ)-কে বলতে শুনেছেন, জনৈক ব্যাক্তি রাসূলুল্লাহ সাল্লাল্লাহু আলাইহি ওয়াসাল্লাম-কে জিজ্ঞেস করল।

সে বলল, হে আল্লাহর রাসূল! আমরা সমুদ্রে ভ্রমণ করি। আমাদের সঙ্গে অল্প পরিমাণ পানি নিয়ে থাকি। এ পানি দ্বারা যদি আমরা উযূ (ওজু/অজু/অযু) করি তবে (পানি নিঃশেষ হয়ে যাবে) আমরা পিপাসায় কষ্ট পাবো। (এমতাবস্থায়) আমরা কি সমুদ্রের পানি দ্বারা উযূ করব?

জবাবে রাসূলুল্লাহ সাল্লাল্লাহু আলাইহি ওয়াসাল্লাম বললেনঃ সমুদ্রের পানি পবিত্র এবং সমুদ্রের মৃত প্রাণীও হালাল।

ابوہریرہ رضی اللہ عنہ کہتے ہیں کہ ایک آدمی نے رسول اللہ صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم سے پوچھا اور عرض کیا: اللہ کے رسول! ہم سمندر میں سفر کرتے ہیں اور اپنے ساتھ تھوڑا پانی لے جاتے ہیں، اگر ہم اس سے وضو کر لیں تو پیاسے رہ جائیں، تو کیا ہم سمندر کے پانی سے وضو کر لیں؟ تو رسول اللہ صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم نے فرمایا: اس کا پانی پاک کرنے والا ہے، اور اس کا مردار حلال ہے ۱؎۔

Telah mengabarkan kepada kami [Qutaibah] dari [Malik] dari [Shafwan bin Sulaim] dari [Sa'id bin Salamah] bahwa [Al Mughirah bin Abu Burdah] dari Bani Abu Dar telah mengabarkan kepadanya bahwasanya dia telah mendengar [Abu Hurairah] berkata; "Seseorang bertanya Rasulullah shallallahu 'alaihi wasallam, 'Wahai Rasulullah shallallahu 'alaihi wasallam, kami mengarungi lautan dengan kapal dan kami hanya membawa air (tawar) sedikit.

Bila kami berwudlu dengan air tersebut, kami kehausan, apakah kami boleh berwudlu dengan air laut? Rasulullah shallallahu 'alaihi wasallam berkata, ' Laut itu suci airnya, halal bangkainya

Ebû Hûreyre (radıyallahü anh) şöyle demiştir: Bir adam Rasûlüllah (sallallahü aleyhi ve sellem)’e: Allah’ın Rasûlü! Biz deniz yolculuğuna çıkıyoruz ve yanımızda da az su bulunuyor, eğer o su ile abdest alırsak susuz kalırız, bu sebeple deniz suyu ile abdest alabilir miyiz? diye sordu, Rasûlüllah (sallallahü aleyhi ve sellem): suyu temizdir, deniz hayvanları da hepsi helaldir) buyurdular. (Tirmizî, Tahara: 52; İbn Mâce, Sayd:)

What it means

A man asked the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him), saying: We travel by sea for fishing, trade, and the like, and we carry with us a small amount of potable water. If we use the drinking water for making ablution and Ghusl (ritual bath), it will run out and we will find nothing to drink. So, is it permissible for us to make ablution using seawater? Thereupon, the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) said about the seawater: Its water is pure and purifying, so it is permissible to use it for ablution and Ghusl; and it is lawful to eat what comes out of it, including fish, whales, and others, even if found dead and floating on its surface without being fished.

What it teaches

  • The dead animals of the sea, i.e., what dies therein of the animals that only live in the sea, are lawful.
  • Providing the questioner with more information than what he requested to complete the benefit.
  • If there is a change in the taste, color, or smell of water due to something pure, it remains purifying as long as the water retains its original entity, even if there is an increase in its saltiness, hotness, coldness, or the like.
  • The seawater eliminates the states of major and minor ritual impurities and removes the material impurity that affects what is pure, such as the human body, a garment, or anything else.
