Arabic text

204 - حَدَّثَنَا هَنَّادُ بْنُ السَّرِيِّ، وَإِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ أَبِي مُعَاوِيَةَ، عَنْ أَبِي مُعَاوِيَةَ، ح وَحَدَّثَنَا عُثْمَانُ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ، حَدَّثَنِي شَرِيكٌ، وَجَرِيرٌ، وَابْنُ إِدْرِيسَ، عَنِ الْأَعْمَشِ، عَنْ شَقِيقٍ، قَالَ: قَالَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ: «كُنَّا لَا نَتَوَضَّأُ مِنْ مَوْطِئٍ وَلَا نَكُفُّ شَعْرًا وَلَا ثَوْبًا»، قَالَ أَبُو دَاوُدَ: قَالَ: إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ أَبِي مُعَاوِيَةَ فِيهِ، عَنِ الْأَعْمَشِ، عَنْ شَقِيقٍ، عَنْ مَسْرُوقٍ، أَوْ حَدَّثَهُ عَنْهُ، قَالَ: قَالَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ: وَقَالَ هَنَّادٌ، عَنْ شَقِيقٍ، أَوْ حَدَّثَهُ عَنْهُ

Commentary

1. This narration is authentic, according to Shaikh Al-Albānī, and he said: "Its chain is Ṣaḥīḥ according to the their criteria" meaning the criteria of Al-Bukhārī and Muslim, it was also graded Ṣaḥīḥ by Al-Hākīm and Adh-Dhahabi was silent about it. 2. The contents of the Hadīth are supported by other Aḥādīth. If a man walks over dirt and filth but, later, walks on dry earth until the filth wears off, his body and garments will become pure. 3. It is not permissible to gather one's hair or garments while praying. They should be left as they are. Their shape or form should not be changed/altered for the prayer.
