Hadith Narrated By Anas

Another tradition on the authority of Anas has: "O Allah, I seek refuge in Thee."

A person came to the Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him). He performed ablution and left a small part equal to the space of a nail upon his foot... The Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him) said to him: Go back and perform ablution well. Abu Dawud said: This tradition is not known through Jarir b. Hazim. It was transmitted only by Ibn Wahab. Another version adds the wording: "Go back and perform the ablution well."

The Companions during the lifetime of the Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him) used to wait for the night prayer so much so that their heads were lowered down (by dozing). Then they offered prayer and did not perform ablution. Abu Dawud said: Shubah on the authority of Qatadah added: We lowered down our heads (on account of dozing) in the day of the Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him). Abu Dawud said : This tradition has been narrated through a different chain of narrators.

One day the Apostle of Allah (may peace be upon him) had sexual intercourse with (all) his wives with a single bath. Abu Dawud said: This tradition has been transmitted through another chain of narrators. Abu Dawud said: The tradition narrated by Anas is more sound than this tradition.
