English translation

3179. It was narrated from Abu Sa'eed Al-Khudri that the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ passed by a boy who was skinning a sheep. The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said to him: "Step aside and I will show you how." The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ put his hand between the skin and the flesh, and thrust his arm in until it disappeared up to the armpit, and said: "O boy, this is how you skin it." Then he went and led the people in prayer and did not perform Wudu'. (Sahih)

Arabic text

3179 - حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو كُرَيْبٍ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا مَرْوَانُ بْنُ مُعَاوِيَةَ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا هِلَالُ بْنُ مَيْمُونٍ الْجُهَنِيُّ، عَنْ عَطَاءِ بْنِ يَزِيدَ اللَّيْثِيِّ، - قَالَ عَطَاءٌ: لَا أَعْلَمُهُ إِلَّا - عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيِّ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ مَرَّ بِغُلَامٍ يَسْلُخُ شَاةً، فَقَالَ لَهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «تَنَحَّ، حَتَّى أُرِيَكَ» فَأَدْخَلَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَدَهُ بَيْنَ الْجِلْدِ وَاللَّحْمِ، فَدَحَسَ بِهَا، حَتَّى تَوَارَتْ إِلَى الْإِبِطِ وَقَالَ: «يَا غُلَامُ هَكَذَا فَاسْلُخْ» ثُمَّ مَضَى وَصَلَّى لِلنَّاسِ، وَلَمْ يَتَوَضَّأْ

Commentary

a. Taking off the skin of an animal or cutting the meat into pieces does not nullify the ablution. b. Doing any little work while going to the prayer, which does not delay the prayer, is allowed.
