English translation

513. 'Abbād bin Tamim narrated that his paternal uncle said: "A complaint was made to the Prophet ﷺ about a man who sensed something (some doubt about his ablution) during prayer. He said: 'No (he does not have to perform ablution) unless he notices a smell or hears a sound.'" (Sahih)

Arabic text

513 - حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الصَّبَّاحِ قَالَ: أَنْبَأَنَا سُفْيَانُ بْنُ عُيَيْنَةَ، عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ، عَنْ سَعِيدٍ وَعَبَّادُ بْنُ تَمِيمٍ، عَنْ عَمِّهِ قَالَ: شُكِيَ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ الرَّجُلُ يَجِدُ الشَّيْءَ فِي الصَّلَاةِ، فَقَالَ: «لَا، حَتَّى يَجِدَ رِيحًا، أَوْ يَسْمَعَ صَوْتًا»

Commentary

The passing of the wind nullifies the ablution even though no sound is heard. Mere doubt (in the absence of certainty) does not invalidate the ablution.
