Arabic text

254 - أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى بْنِ أَيُّوبَ بْنِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ إِدْرِيسَ، عَنِ الْأَعْمَشِ، عَنْ سَالِمٍ، عَنْ كُرَيْبٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ: " أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ اغْتَسَلَ فَأُتِيَ بِمِنْدِيلٍ، فَلَمْ يَمَسَّهُ وَجَعَلَ يَقُولُ بِالْمَاءِ: «هَكَذَا»

Commentary

Shaking off water with hands proves that it is not necessary for water to remain on bodily parts in the wake of bathing or performing ablution. Bathing water may be wiped off either by means of one's hands, handkerchief, or a towel, etc. Some people have forbidden the use of a towel based on this narration, but they are wrong, for their opinion is not founded on clear, logical arguments.
