CHAPTER: The Amount Of Water That Is Acceptable For Performing Wudu’.
Narrated Aishah, Ummul Muminin: The Prophet صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم used to wash himself with a sa' (of water) and perform ablution with a mudd (of water). Abu Dawud said: This tradition has also been narrated by Aban on the authority of Qatadah. In this version he said: I herd safiyyah.
Narrated Jabir ibn Abdullah: The Prophet صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم used to take a bath with a sa' (of water) and perform ablution with a mudd (of water)
Narrated Umm Umarah: Habib al-Ansari reported: I heard Abbad ibn Tamim who reported on the authority of my grandmother, Umm Umarah, saying: The Prophet صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم wanted to perform ablution. A vessel containing 2/3 mudd of water was brought to him.
Anas reported: The Prophet صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم performed ablution with a vessel which contained two rotls (of water) and took a bath with a sa’ (of water). 1 Abu Dawud Said: This tradition has berated on the authority of Anas through a different chain. This version mentions: “He performed ablution with one makkuk. “It makes no mention of two rotls. 2 Abu Dawud said: This tradition has also been narrated by Yahya bin Adam from Sharik. But this chain mentions Ibn Jabr bin ‘Atik instead of ‘ Abdullah bin Jabr. Abu Dawud Said: This tradition has also been narrated by Sufyan from Abdullah bin ‘Isa. This chain mentions the name Jabr bin Abdullah instead of Abdullah bin Jabr. Abu Dawud Said: I heard Ahmad bin Hanbal say: one sa’ measures five rotls. It was the sa’ of Ibn Abi Dhi’b and also of the Prophet صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم.
