Chapter on Acts That Necessitate Purification

Hadith #25

مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَلِيِّ بْنِ مَحْبُوبٍ عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ اَلْحَسَنِ بْنِ عَلِيٍّ عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ سَعِيدٍ عَنْ مُصَدِّقِ بْنِ صَدَقَةَ عَنْ عَمَّارٍ اَلسَّابَاطِيِّ قَالَ: سَأَلْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ عَنْ رَجُلٍ تَوَضَّأَ ثُمَّ أَكَلَ لَحْماً أَوْ سَمَكاً هَلْ لَهُ أَنْ يُصَلِّيَ مِنْ غَيْرِ أَنْ يَغْسِلَ يَدَهُ قَالَ« نَعَمْ وَ إِنْ كَانَ لَبَنٌ لَمْ يُصَلِّ حَتَّى يَغْسِلَ يَدَهُ وَ يَتَمَضْمَضَ وَ كَانَ رَسُولُ اَللَّهِ صَلَّى اَللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَ آلِهِ يُصَلِّي وَ قَدْ أَكَلَ اَللَّحْمَ مِنْ غَيْرِ أَنْ يَغْسِلَ يَدَهُ وَ إِنْ كَانَ لَبَناً لَمْ يُصَلِّ حَتَّى يَغْسِلَ يَدَهُ وَ يَتَمَضْمَضَ».

Narrated by Muhammad ibn Ali ibn Mahbub, from Ahmad ibn al-Hasan ibn Ali, from Amr ibn Sa'id, from Musaddiq ibn Sadaqah, from Ammar al-Sabati: I asked Abu Abdillah , about a man who performed ablution and then ate meat or fish. I asked: “Can he pray without washing his hands?” Imam said: “Yes. But if he drank milk, he should not pray until he washes his hands and rinses his mouth. And the Messenger of Allah , peace be upon him and his family, used to pray after eating meat without washing his hands. However, if he drank milk, he would not pray until he washed his hands and rinsed his mouth.”
