Arabic text

٧٤ - حَدَّثَنَا ‌قُتَيْبَةُ ‌وَهَنَّادٌ، قَالَا: حَدَّثَنَا ‌وَكِيعٌ، عَنْ ‌شُعْبَةَ ، عَنْ ‌سُهَيْلِ بْنِ أَبِي صَالِحٍ ، عَنْ ‌أَبِيهِ ، عَنْ ‌أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: «لَا وُضُوءَ إِلَّا مِنْ صَوْتٍ أَوْ رِيحٍ». هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ صَحِيحٌ.

Commentary

The purpose of sound and smell is that after the certainty of passing wind, a fresh ablution becomes obligatory; ablution is not compulsory merely because of doubt or Waswasa, because certainty cannot be lost just because of mere doubt. It is agreed to by consensus. If ablution gets annulled by passing wind, then urine and excrement will definitely nullify it.
