Sayyiduna Jabir bin Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with them both) narrates that we participated with the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) in the battle of Dhat al-Riqa‘ at Nakhl (the region of Najd). (During the battle) a Muslim killed the wife of a polytheist. (After the battle) when the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) was about to return, the husband of that woman came, who was not present before. When he was informed (about the killing of his wife), he swore that he would not rest until he had shed blood among the companions of Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him). So he set out in pursuit of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him). The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) camped at a place and said:“Who will guard us tonight?”(Upon hearing the words of the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him) a Muhajir companion and an Ansari companion volunteered for this task, both said: O Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), we will perform this service. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:“Both of you stand guard at the mouth of the mountain pass.”Sayyiduna Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him) says that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) and his companions descended from the valley towards the mountain pass. When both companions reached the mouth of the pass, the Ansari said to the Muhajir: Which part of the night do you prefer that I relieve you in, the first part or the last? He said: Relieve me in the first part (i.e., let me rest in the first part). So the Muhajir companion lay down and slept, and the Ansari companion stood up and began to pray. Meanwhile, the husband of the murdered woman arrived. When he saw the shadow of the Ansari companion from afar, he recognized that he was one of the guards and sentinels of his people. So he shot an arrow at him, which became embedded in his (body). Sayyiduna Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him) says that he pulled out the arrow and put it aside, and continued in his prayer. Then he shot a second arrow, which again became embedded in him; he pulled it out and put it aside and continued praying. He shot a third arrow, which became embedded in him; he pulled it out (from his body) and put it (on the ground), then bowed and prostrated (completed the prayer), then woke up his companion and said: Get up, I have been wounded (by arrows). So he (the Muhajir) woke up startled. When the (polytheist) saw both of them, he realized that they had become aware of him, so he fled. When the Muhajir companion saw the Ansari covered in blood, he said: Subhan Allah, why did you not wake me up when he shot the first arrow at you? He replied: I was reciting a surah which I used to recite before, and I did not like to leave it without completing it. But when he kept targeting me with arrows, I bowed and (after completing the prayer) informed you. By Allah, if I had not feared neglecting the border which the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) commanded me to guard and protect, he would have ended my life before I left or completed the surah. This is the narration of Muhammad bin ‘Isa.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with him) that he said: We used to pray with the Prophet (peace be upon him) and would not perform ablution after treading on filth. The wording of the narration from Makhzumi is: We used to perform ablution with the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him), but would not perform (another) ablution after treading on filth. In the narration of Zubri, it is: We used to be with the Prophet (peace be upon him), and would not perform ablution after treading on filth. Imam Abu Bakr (may Allah have mercy on him) says: There is a defect in this hadith, (that is) A‘mash did not hear this hadith from Shaqiq; I did not realize this at the time, (meaning this defect was hidden from me at the time of narration). There is another narration from Sayyiduna Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with him) with the wording: In prayer, we would not gather our hair and clothes (we would not hold them, but rather let them touch the ground during prostration), nor would we perform ablution after treading on filth.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) ate bone or he said meat, then performed prayer and did not perform ablution (again). Abu Bakr (may Allah have mercy on him) says that the chain of narration of the report (hadith) of Hammad bin Zaid is not connected. And we have made a mistake in its narration. Indeed, between Hisham bin Urwah and Muhammad bin Amr bin Ata, the narrator is Wahb bin Kaysan. Similarly, this hadith has been narrated by Yahya bin Saeed and Abdah bin Sulayman.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) ate bread and meat or bone, then performed prayer and did not perform (a new) ablution.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) ate bone, then performed prayer and did not perform ablution. This is the narration of Zuhri.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them) that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) ate the shoulder of a goat, then performed prayer and did not perform a new (ablution).

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah, may Allah be pleased with him, that he saw the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, performing ablution after eating pieces of cheese. Then he saw the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, eat the shoulder of a goat and then pray without performing ablution.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Jabir bin Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with them both), he says that the last of the two actions of the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) was not to perform ablution after eating something cooked on fire.

It is narrated from Sayyidah Umm Salamah (may Allah be pleased with her) that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) ate shoulder meat, then performed prayer and did not touch water (i.e., he neither washed his hands nor rinsed his mouth, etc.).

Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) reports that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Whoever swears an oath and in his oath says, 'By al-Lat,' he should say «‏‏‏‏لَا إِلٰهَ إِلَّا الله» ‏‏‏‏ 'There is no deity except Allah.' And whoever says to his companion, 'Come, let us gamble,' he should give something in charity." Imam Abu Bakr (may Allah have mercy on him) says that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) did not command the one who swore by al-Lat or the one who invited his companion to gamble to perform a new ablution. Therefore, this hadith is evidence that foul speech and abusive language do not make ablution obligatory, contrary to the statement of the one who says that abusive language makes ablution obligatory.
