1847. Ibn 'Abbās narrated: "The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ came out from the toilet and some food was brought to him. They said: 'Shall we bring you some water for Wudū?' He said: 'I have only been ordered to perform Wudū' when standing for Ṣalāt.'" (Ṣaḥīḥ)
[Abū 'Eisā said:] This Hadīth is Ḥasan [Ṣaḥīḥ]. 'Amr bin Dīnār has reported it from Sa'eed bin Al-Ḥuwaīrīth, from Ibn 'Abbās. 'Alī bin Al-Madīnī said: "Yahya bin Sa'eed said: 'Sufyān Ath-Thawrī disliked washing the hands before eating food, and he disliked placing the bread under the bowl.'"
