Arabic text

373 - حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَشَّارٍ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو دَاوُدَ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، عَنْ عَاصِمٍ الْأَحْوَلِ، عَنْ أَبِي حَاجِبٍ، عَنِ الْحَكَمِ بْنِ عَمْرٍو، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ «نَهَى أَنْ يَتَوَضَّأَ الرَّجُلُ بِفَضْلِ وَضُوءِ الْمَرْأَةِ»

Commentary

Imām Ibn Mājah has expressed the view that the truth is on the side of the first while the second is an illusion. Exact translation of the report is as follows: Abu 'Abdullah Ibn Mājah said, "The first (narration) is correct, and the second (narration) is Wahm (an error)." It could also be construed from this that the ruling described in the previous chapter allowing both the husband and wife to have a bath from the water left over by each other, while the prohibition to do so as mentioned in the following chapter is not correct.
