Arabic text

٩١ - حَدَّثَنَا ‌سَوَّارُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللهِ الْعَنْبَرِيُّ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا ‌الْمُعْتَمِرُ بْنُ سُلَيْمَانَ ، قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ ‌أَيُّوبَ عَنْ ‌مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ سِيرِينَ ، عَنْ ‌أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَنَّهُ قَالَ: «يُغْسَلُ الْإِنَاءُ إِذَا وَلَغَ» فِيهِ الْكَلْبُ سَبْعَ مَرَّاتٍ، أُولَاهُنَّ أَوْ أُخْرَاهُنَّ بِالتُّرَابِ، وَإِذَا وَلَغَتْ فِيهِ الْهِرَّةُ غُسِلَ مَرَّةً. هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ صَحِيحٌ. وَهُوَ قَوْلُ الشَّافِعِيِّ وَأَحْمَدَ وَإِسْحَاقَ. وَقَدْ رُوِيَ هَذَا الْحَدِيثُ مِنْ غَيْرِ وَجْهٍ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ نَحْوَ هَذَا، وَلَمْ يُذْكَرْ فِيهِ: إِذَا وَلَغَتْ فِيهِ الْهِرَّةُ غُسِلَ مَرَّةً. وَفِي الْبَابِ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ مُغَفَّلٍ.

Commentary

According to modern research, the saliva of a dog has an extremely poisonous element; so, he ﷺ commanded to wash the pot well and excessively if a dog licks into it. The soil has such a quality, which is a sovereign remedy to kill the poisonous elements. Therefore the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ commanded to use soil in the beginning of washing it; that is why the word 'first washing with the soil' has preference.
