Hadith Narrated by

Humayd al-Himyari said: I met a man (Companion of the Prophet) who remained in the company of the Prophet (peace_be_upon_him) just as AbuHurayrah remained in his company. He then added: The Apostle of Allah (peace_be_upon_him) forbade that anyone amongst us should comb (his hair) every day or urinate in the place where he takes a bath.

The Prophet (peace_be_upon_him) saw a person offering prayer, and on the back of his foot a small part equal to the space of a dirham remained unwashed; the water did not reach it. The Prophet (peace_be_upon_him) commanded him to repeat the ablution and prayer.

Ikrimah reported on the authority of one of the wives of the Prophet (peace_be_upon_him) saying: When the Prophet (peace_be_upon_him) wanted to do something (i.e. kissing, embracing) with (his) menstruating wife, he would put a garment on her private part.

Woman of Banu Ghifar: Umayyah, daughter of AbusSalt, quoted a certain woman of Banu Ghifar, whose name was mentioned to me, as saying: The Apostle of Allah (peace_be_upon_him) made me ride behind him on the rear of the camel saddle. By Allah, the Apostle of Allah (peace_be_upon_him) got down in the morning. He made his camel kneel down and I came down from the back of his saddle. There was a mark of blood on it (saddle) and that was the first menstruation that I had. I stuck to the camel and felt ashamed. When the Apostle of Allah (peace_be_upon_him) saw what had happened to me and saw the blood, he said: Perhaps you are menstruating. I said: Yes. He then said: Set yourself right (i.e. tie some cloth to prevent bleeding), then take a vessel of water and put some salt in it, and then wash the blood from the back of the saddle, and then return to your mount. When the Apostle of Allah (peace_be_upon_him) conquered Khaybar, he gave us a portion of the booty. Whenever the woman became purified from her menses, she would put salt in water. And when she died, she left a will to put salt in the water for washing her (after death).

A woman of the Banu Abdul Ashhal: She reported: I said Apostle of Allah, our road to the mosque has an unpleasant stench; what should we do when it is raining? He asked: Is there not a cleaner part after the filthy part of the road? She replied: Why not (there is one)! He said: It makes up for the other.

This tradition has also been narrated by Abu Salim al-Jaishani on the authority of Abdullah bin Amr. He narrated this tradition at the time when he beseiged the fort at the gate of Alyun. Abu Dawud said: The fort of Alyun lies at the mountain in Fustat. Abu Dawud said: The kunyah (surname) of Shaiban bin Ummayyah is Abu Hudhaifah.

This tradition has been transmitted through a different chain of narrators. This version adds: "I have always prefered to wash the under part of the feet until I saw the Messenger of Allah (peace_be_upon_him) wiping the upper part of them.

Amash transmitted this tradition saying: If the religion were based on opinion, it would be more proper to wipe the under part of the feet than the upper. The Prophet (peace_be_upon_him) wiped over the upper part of his shoes. The narrator Waki' said: By feet he meant socks. Another version says: I saw 'Ali perform ablution and wash the upper part of his feet, and say: Had I not seen the Messenger of Allah (peace_be_upon_him) doing like this - and he narrated the tradition in full.

A man from Thaqif on the authority of his father reported: I saw the Messenger of Allah (peace_be_upon_him) urinate, and he sprinkled water on the private parts of his body.

Hakam or Ibn al-Hakam on the authority of his father, The Prophet (peace_be_upon_him) urinated; then he performed ablution and sprinkled water on the private parts of his body.
