27. Salamah bin Qais narrated that Allāh's Messenger ﷺ said: "When you perform Wudu' then sniff water in the nose and blow it out, and when you use small stones (to remove filth) then make it odd (numbered)." (Ṣaḥīḥ)
[He said:] There are narrations on this topic from 'Uthmān, Laqīṭ bin Ṣabirah, Ibn 'Abbās, Al-Miqdām bin Ma'dikarib, Wa'il bin Ḥujr, and Abū Hurairah.
Abū 'Eisā said: The Hadīth of Salamah bin Qais is a Ḥasan Ṣaḥīḥ Hadīth.
The people of knowledge differ about the one who does not perform Al-Maḍmaḍah and Al-Istinshāq. A group of them says if one avoids them in Wudu' until he
prays, then he is to repeat [the Salāt]. They consider that the same for Wudū' and Janābah. This is the view of Ibn Abī Lailā, 'Abdullāh bin Al-Mubārak, Aḥmad and Ishāq. Aḥmad said, "Al-Istinshāq is more emphasized than Al-Madmadah."
[Abū 'Eisā said:] A group of the people of knowledge say it is repeated in the case of Janābah, but not repeated in the case of Wudū'. This is the saying of Ath-Thawrī and some of the people of Al-Kūfah.
A group of them say it is not repeated in the case of Wudū' nor in the case of Janābah. Because these are a Sunnah of the Prophet ﷺ, so it is not necessary for one to repeat for leaving them out of Wudū' nor for Janābah. This is the saying of Mālik, and Ash-Shāfi'ī [in his later view].

Commentary
Rinsing the mouth and sniffing water up the nose is compulsory for having a bath in the case of sexual impurity; without doing this the prayer will be invalid. But these two things are not compulsory for ablution, they are rather Sunnah (desirable and recommended). This is the opinion of Aḥnāf and that of Sufyān Ath-Thawrī.
