English translation
1164. ‘Alī bin Ṭalq narrated that a Bedouin came to the Prophet ﷺ and said: “O Messenger of Allāh! A man among us would be in the desert and a small smell would come from him, (what should he do) while the water is scarce? so the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: “When one of you breaks wind then let him perform Wudū’, and do not go into your women in their behinds, for indeed Allāh is not shy of the truth.” (Hasan) (He said:) There are narrations on this topic from ‘Umar, Khuzaimah bin Thābit, Ibn ‘Abbās, and Abū Hurairah. (Abū 'Eisā said:) The Hadīth of 'Alī bin Ṭalq is a Ḥasan Hadīth. I heard Muhammad saying: "I do not know a Hadīth for 'Alī bin Ṭalq from the Prophet ﷺ other than this one, and I do not know that this is a Hadīth of Ṭalq bin 'Alī As-Suhaimi."[1] It is as if he thought that this man was another Companion of the Prophet ﷺ. Waki' also reported this Hadīth.
