5457. Narrated Sa'īd bin Al-Hārīth that he asked Jābir bin 'Abdullāh رضي الله عنهمهما about performing ablution after taking a cooked meal. He replied, "It is not essential," and added, "We never used to get such kind of food during the lifetime of the Prophet ﷺ except rarely; and if at all we got such a dish, we did not have any handkerchiefs to wipe our hands with except the palms of our hands, our forearms and our feet. We would perform the Ṣalāt (prayer) thereafter without performing new ablution."

5457 - حَدَّثَنَا إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ المُنْذِرِ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنِي مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ فُلَيْحٍ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنِي أَبِي، عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ الحَارِثِ، عَنْ جَابِرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُمَا: أَنَّهُ سَأَلَهُ عَنِ الوُضُوءِ مِمَّا مَسَّتِ النَّارُ؟ فَقَالَ: «لاَ، قَدْ كُنَّا زَمَانَ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ لاَ نَجِدُ مِثْلَ ذَلِكَ مِنَ الطَّعَامِ إِلَّا قَلِيلًا، فَإِذَا نَحْنُ وَجَدْنَاهُ لَمْ يَكُنْ لَنَا مَنَادِيلُ إِلَّا أَكُفَّنَا وَسَوَاعِدَنَا وَأَقْدَامَنَا، ثُمَّ نُصَلِّي وَلاَ نَتَوَضَّأُ»
