170 - جَاءَ نَفَرٌ مِنَ اَلْيَهُودِ إِلَى رَسُولِ اَللَّهِ صَلَّى اَللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَ آلِهِ فَسَأَلَهُ أَعْلَمُهُمْ عَنْ مَسَائِلَ وَ كَانَ فِيمَا سَأَلَهُ أَنْ قَالَ لِأَيِّ شَيْءٍ أَمَرَ اَللَّهُ تَعَالَى بِالاِغْتِسَالِ مِنَ اَلْجَنَابَةِ وَ لَمْ يَأْمُرْ بِالْغُسْلِ مِنَ اَلْغَائِطِ وَ اَلْبَوْلِ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اَللَّهِ صَلَّى اَللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَ آلِهِ «إِنَّ آدَمَ لَمَّا أَكَلَ مِنَ اَلشَّجَرَةِ دَبَّ ذَلِكَ فِي عُرُوقِهِ وَ شَعْرِهِ وَ بَشَرِهِ فَإِذَا جَامَعَ اَلرَّجُلُ أَهْلَهُ خَرَجَ اَلْمَاءُ مِنْ كُلِّ عِرْقٍ وَ شَعْرَةٍ فِي جَسَدِهِ فَأَوْجَبَ اَللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ عَلَى ذُرِّيَّتِهِ اَلاِغْتِسَالَ مِنَ اَلْجَنَابَةِ إِلَى يَوْمِ اَلْقِيَامَةِ وَ اَلْبَوْلُ يَخْرُجُ مِنْ فَضْلَةِ اَلشَّرَابِ اَلَّذِي يَشْرَبُهُ اَلْإِنْسَانُ وَ اَلْغَائِطُ يَخْرُجُ مِنْ فَضْلَةِ اَلطَّعَامِ اَلَّذِي يَأْكُلُهُ اَلْإِنْسَانُ فَعَلَيْهِ مِنْ ذَلِكَ اَلْوُضُوءُ» قَالَ اَلْيَهُودِيُّ صَدَقْتَ يَا مُحَمَّدُ.
Hadith.170 - A group of Jews came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, and the most learned among them asked him several questions. Among those, he asked: 'Why did Allah (swt) command ghusl (ritual bathing) after janabah (ritual impurity due to sexual discharge) but did not command ghusl after defecation and urination?' The Messenger of Allah ﷺ replied: 'When Adam ate from the tree, it coursed through his veins, hair, and skin. So when a man engages in intercourse, the fluid (semen) is released from every vein and hair in his body. Therefore, Allah (swt), the Exalted, has commanded his descendants to perform ghusl after janabah until the Day of Resurrection. On the other hand, urine is expelled as the excess from the drink consumed by humans, and feces is the excess from the food consumed. Thus, for those acts, wudu (ablution) is required.' The Jewish scholar said: 'You have spoken the truth, O’ Muhammad.'
