The book of purification - طہارت کے احکام و مسائل - Book 1 of Sunnan Nisai with Urdu and English Translation

It was narrated that Salman said, that a man said to him: Your companion (meaning, the Prophet(ﷺ)) even teaches you how to go to the toilet! He said: Yes, he forbade us from facing the Qiblah when defecating or urinating, or cleaning ourselves with out right hands, or to use less than three stones.

Abdur-Rahman bin Al-Aswad (narrated) from his father that he heard 'Abdullah say: The Prophet (ﷺ) wanted to defecate, and he told me to bring him three stones. I found two stones and looked for a third, but I could not find any, so I picked up a piece of dung and brought them to the Prophet (ﷺ). He took the two stones and three away the dung and said: This is Riks. Abu 'Abdur-Rahman (An-Nasai') said: Riks is the food of the jinn.

It was narrated from Salamah bin Qais that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: When you clean yourselves (with stones, after defecating), use an odd number.

It was narrated from 'Aishah that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: When any one of you goes to the Gha'it (toilet to defecate), let him take with him three stones and clean himself with them, for that will suffice him.

Anas bin Malik said: When the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) would go to the toilet, I and another boy like me would bring a small leather vessel of water and he would clean himself with water.

It was narrated that 'Aishah said: Tell your husbands to clean themselves with water, for I am too shy to tell them myself. The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) used to do that.

It was narrated from Abu Qatadah that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: When any one of you drinks, let him not breathe into the vessel, and when he goes to the toilet let him not touch his penis with his right hand, nor wipe himself with this right hand.

It was narrated from Ibn Abi Qatadah, from his father, that the Prophet (ﷺ) forbade breathing into the vessel (when drinking), touching one's penis with one's right hand, and cleaning oneself with one's right hand.

It was narrated that Salman said: The idolators said: 'We see that your companion teaches you how to go to the toilet.' He said: 'Yes, he forbade us from cleaning ourselves with our right hand, and from facing toward the Qiblah, and he said: 'None of you should clean with less than three stones.'

It was narrated from Abu Hurairah that the Prophet (ﷺ) performed Wudu', and when he had performed Istinja' he rubbed his hand on the ground.

Ibrahim bin Jarir narrated that his father said: I was with the Prophet (ﷺ) and he went to Al Khala' (toilet) and relieved himself, then he said: O Jarir, bring Tahur (a means of purification). So I brought him some water and he performed Intinja' with water, and did like this with hand, rubbing it on the ground. Abu 'Abdur-Rahman (An-Nasa'i) said: This resembles more with what is correct than the (previous) narration of Sharik, and Allah knows best.

It was narrated from 'Abdullah bin 'Abdullah bin 'Umar that his father said: The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) was asked about water and how some animals and carnivorous beasts might drink from it. He said: 'If the water is more than two Qullahs, it will not carry filth.' [1] [1]It comes with some explanation in Sunan At Timidhi 'Abdah (one of the narrators) said: Muhammad bin Ishaq said: 'A Qullah refers to Jirar (These are two nouns describing large casks that are used to hold water), and a Qullah is the thing that drinking water is held in. ' At-Tirmidhi said: This is the saying of Ash Shafa'i, Ahmad and Ishaq. They say that when the water is two Qullahs then nothing makes it impure, as long as it does not change its smell, and its taste. And they say, it is approximately fifty Qirbahs (waterskins).

It was narrated from Anas that a Bedouin urinated in the Masjid, and some of the people went after him, but the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: Leave him and do not restrain him. When he had finished he called for a bucket (of water) and poured it over it. [1] Abu 'Abdur-Rahman (An-Nasa'i) said: Meaning: 'Do not interrupt him.' [1]The author will cite this narration again in No. 330 as a possible proof for setting the minimum, since it mentions a bucket as if this is the minium amount required.

It was narrated that Anas bin Malik said: A Bedouin urinated in the Masjid, and the Prophet (ﷺ) ordered that a bucket (be brought) and poured over it.

Anas said: A Bedouin came to the Masjid and urinated, and the people yelled at him, but the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: 'Leave him alone.' So they left him alone. When he had finished urinating, he ordered that a bucket (be brought) and poured over it.

It was narrated that Abu Hurairah said: A Bedouin stood up and urinated in the Masjid, ans the people started shouting. The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said to them: 'Leave him alone, and spill a bucket of water over his urine. For you have been sent to make things easy for people, you have not been sent to make things difficult.'

It was narrated from Abu Hurairah that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: None of you should urinate into still water and then perform Wudu' with it.

It was narrated that Abu Hurairah said: The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: 'None of you should urinate in still water and perform Ghusl with it.' Abu 'Abdur-Rahman (An-Nasa'i) said: ya'qub would not narrate this Hadith except for a Dinar. [1] [1] Ya'qub bin Ibrahim Ad-Dawrqi, and the meaning is that he held the view that it is permissible to accept a payment for narrating, contrary to many others.

Abu Hurairah said: A man asked the Prophet (ﷺ): '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 (ﷺ) said: 'Its water is a means of purification and its dead meat is permissible.'

It was narrated that Abu Hurairah said: When the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) started Salah, he would remain silent for a short while. I said: 'May my father and mother be ransomed for you, O Messenger of Allah! What do you say when you remain silent between the Takbir and the recitation (in the Salah)?' He said: 'I say: Allahumma ba'id baini was baina khatayaya kama ba'adta baina al-mashriq wal-maghrib; Allahumma naqqini min khatayaya kama yunaqqath-thawb al-abyad min ad-danas; Allahummaghsilni min khatayaya bith-thalji wal-ma'i wal-barad (O Allah, out a great distance between me and my sins, as great as the distance You have made between the East and the West; O Allah, cleanse me of of sin as a white garment is cleansed from filth; Wash away my sins with snow, water, and hail)'.
