(5). 3113. Mu'ādḥ bin Jabal said:"A man came to the Prophet ﷺ and said: 'O Messenger of Allāh! What do you say about a man who meets a woman and there is no acquaintance between them. So there is nothing that a man would do with his wife but he does it with her, except that he does not have intercourse with her?'" He said: "So Allāh revealed: And perform the Ṣalāt, at the two ends of the day, and in some hours of the night. Verily, the good deeds remove the evil deeds. That is a reminder for the mindful.[1] So he ordered him to perform Wudū and Ṣalāt." Then Mu'ādḥ said: "I said: 'O Messenger of Allāh! Is that
specifically for him, or for the believers in general?' He said: 'Rather it is for the believers in general.'" (Da'if)
[Abū 'Eisā said:] The chain for this Hadīth is not connected. 'Abdur-Raḥmān bin Abī Lailā did not hear from Mu'ādḥ bin Jabal. Mu'ādḥ bin Jabal died during the Khilāfah of 'Umar, and 'Umar was killed while 'Abdur-Raḥmān bin Abī Lailā was a small boy, the age of six years. He has reported from 'Umar, and he did see him. Shu'bah reported this Hadīth from 'Abdul-Mālik bin 'Umayr, from 'Abdur-Raḥmān bin Abī Lailā from the Prophet ﷺ in Mursal form.
