Muwatta Imam Malik — Purity

Yahya related to me from Malik from Amr ibn Yahya al-Mazini that his father once asked Abdullah ibn Zayd ibn Asim, who was the grandfather of Amr ibn Yahya al-Mazini and one of the companions of the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, if he could show him how the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, did wudu. Abdullah ibn Zayd ibn Asim agreed to do so and asked for water to do wudu. He poured some out on to his hand and washed each hand twice and then rinsed his mouth and snuffed water up his nose and blew it out three times.Then he washed hisface three times and both of his arms up to the elbows twice. He then wiped his head with both hands, taking his hands from hisforehead to the nape of his neck and then bringing them back to where he had begun. Then he washed his feet

حدثني يحيى، عن مالك، عن عمرو بن يحيى المازني، عن ابيه، انه قال لعبد الله بن زيد بن عاصم وهو جد عمرو بن يحيى المازني وكان من اصحاب رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم هل تستطيع ان تريني كيف كان رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم يتوضا فقال عبد الله بن زيد بن عاصم نعم . فدعا بوضوء فافرغ على يده فغسل يديه مرتين مرتين ثم تمضمض واستنثر ثلاثا ثم غسل وجهه ثلاثا ثم غسل يديه مرتين مرتين الى المرفقين ثم مسح راسه بيديه فاقبل بهما وادبر بدا بمقدم راسه ثم ذهب بهما الى قفاه ثم ردهما حتى رجع الى المكان الذي بدا منه ثم غسل رجليه

Yahya related to me from Malik from Abu'zZinad from al-Araj from Abu Hurayra that the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, "When you do wudu, snuff water into your nose and blow it out, and if you use stones to clean your private parts use an odd number

Yahya said that he heard Malik say that there was no harm in washing the mouth and cleaning the nose with only one handful of water. Yahya related to me from Malik that he had heard that Abd ar- Rahman ibn Abi Bakr was visiting A'isha, the wife of the Prophet, may AIIah bless him and grant him peace, on the day that Sad ibn Abi Waqqas died, and he asked for some water to do wudu. A'isha said to him, ''Abd ar-Rahman! Perform your wudu fully, for I heard the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, say, 'Woe to the heels in the fire

Yahya related to me from Malik from Yahya ibn Muhammad ibn Talhafrom Uthman ibn Abd ar-Rahman that his father related to him that he had heard that Umar ibn al-Khattab used to wash what was beneath his waist wrapper with water. Yahya said that Malik was asked what a man should do if, when he did wudu, he forgot and washed his face before he had rinsed his mouth, or washed his forearms before he had washed his face. He said, "If someone washes his face before rinsing his mouth, he should rinse his mouth and not wash his face again. If someone washes his forearms before his face, however, he should wash his forearms again so that he has washed them after his face. This is if he is still near the place (of wudu)." Yahya said that Malik was asked about what a man should do if he had forgotten to rinse his mouth and nose until he had prayed, and he said, "He does not have to repeat the prayer, but should rinse his mouth and nose if he wishes to do any more prayers after that

وحدثني عن مالك، عن يحيى بن محمد بن طحلاء، عن عثمان بن عبد الرحمن، ان اباه، حدثه انه، سمع عمر بن الخطاب، يتوضا بالماء لما تحت ازاره . قال يحيى سيل مالك عن رجل توضا فنسي فغسل وجهه قبل ان يتمضمض او غسل ذراعيه قبل ان يغسل وجهه فقال اما الذي غسل وجهه قبل ان يتمضمض فليمضمض ولا يعد غسل وجهه واما الذي غسل ذراعيه قبل وجهه فليغسل وجهه ثم ليعد غسل ذراعيه حتى يكون غسلهما بعد وجهه اذا كان ذلك في مكانه او بحضرة ذلك . قال يحيى وسيل مالك عن رجل نسي ان يتمضمض ويستنثر حتى صلى قال ليس عليه ان يعيد صلاته وليمضمض ويستنثر ما يستقبل ان كان يريد ان يصلي

Yahya related to me from Malik from Abu'zZinad from al-Araj from Abu Hurayra that the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, "When you wake up from sleep to pray, wash your hands before you put them in the wudu water, for you do not know where your hands have spent the night

Yahya related to me from Malik from Zayd ibn Aslam that the ayat "You who believe! When you rise for prayer wash your faces, and your arms to the elbows, and wipe over your heads and your feet up to the ankles," refers to rising from bed, meaning sleep.

One only has to do wudu for impurities which issue from the genitals or the anus, or for sleep
