Narrated Abu Huraira (rad): The Prophet ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) said:“Whoever washes a dead person should take a bath (thereafter); and whoever carries it should perform ablution”. Reported by Ahmad, An-Nasa’i and At-Tirmidhi who graded it Hasan (fair). And Ahmad said that there is no authentic Hadith in this chapter.

Narrated ‘Abdullah bin Abu Bakr (rad): The book written by Allah’s Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) for ‘Amr bin Hazm also contained:“ None except a pure person should touch the Quran”. [Reported by Malik as a Mursal and by An-Nasa’i and Ibn Hibban as Mawsul. And it is graded as Ma’lul (defective)] .

Narrated ‘Aisha (rad): Allah’s Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) used to mention Allah’s Name (praise Him) at all times. [Reported by Muslim and Al-Bukhari recorded it as Mu’allaq (suspended)] .

Narrated Anas bin Malik (rad): The Prophet ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) had blood extracted from his body and offered the prayer and did not perform (a new) ablution. [Reported by Ad-Daraqutni who graded it Da’if (weak)] .

[Reported by Ahmad and At-Tabarani who added,“Whoever sleeps should perform ablution] ”. Also reported by Abu Da’ud mentioning the above addition without the words“the string is untied”, but both versions are weak. And Ibn ‘Abbas (rad) narrated in a Marfu’ (traceable) Hadith that:“Ablution is necessary for one who sleeps while he is lying flat. [Reported by Abu Da’ud and there is weakness in its chain of narrators]

Narrated Ibn ‘Abbas (rad): Allah’s Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) said:“Satan comes to one of you in Salat and blows air in his bottom, so he imagines that he has realised air yet he did not. So if he gets that feeling he should not leave his prayer unless he hears the sound (of the air) or smells its odour.” [Reported by Al-Bazzar] . It is originally from the Sahihain of Bukhari and Muslim as the Hadith narrated by ‘Abdullah bin Zaid. And Muslim reported by Abu Huraira likewise. And Abu Sa’id narrated in Marfu’ Hadith:“If Satan comes to one of you and says: ‘You have nullified your ablution (by releasing air)’, let him say: ‘You have lied.” [Reported by Al-Hakim] . Ibn Hibban also reported the above Hadith with the version:“Let him say in his heart...”
