English translation

139. Ṭalḥah narrated, from his father, from his grandfather, who said: “I entered — meaning upon the Prophet ﷺ — while he was performing the Wudū'. Water was dripping down from his face and beard onto his chest. I saw him separate the Maḥmadah from the Istinshāq.” (Ḍa'if)

Arabic text

139 - حَدَّثَنَا حُمَيْدُ بْنُ مَسْعَدَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا مُعْتَمِرٌ، قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ لَيْثًا، يَذْكُرُ عَنْ طَلْحَةَ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ جَدِّهِ، قَالَ: «دَخَلْتُ - يَعْنِي - عَلَى النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَهُوَ يَتَوَضَّأُ، وَالْمَاءُ يَسِيلُ مِنْ وَجْهِهِ وَلِحْيَتِهِ عَلَى صَدْرِهِ، فَرَأَيْتُهُ يَفْصِلُ بَيْنَ الْمَضْمَضَةِ وَالِاسْتِنْشَاقِ»

Commentary

According to some scholars, it is permissible to rinse out the mouth and sniff water into the nose with separate handfuls of water, and some of them consider that recommended. But the Aḥādīth that mention rinsing the mouth and sniffing water into the nose with one handful of water are stronger with respect to the chains of narration. Allāh knows best.
