حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَی بْنُ يَحْيَی أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ مُسْلِمٍ الطَّائِفِيُّ عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ دِينَارٍ عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ الْحُوَيْرِثِ مَوْلَی آلِ السَّائِبِ أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ عَبْدَ اللَّهِ بْنَ عَبَّاسٍ قَالَ ذَهَبَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِلَی الْغَائِطِ فَلَمَّا جَائَ قُدِّمَ لَهُ طَعَامٌ فَقِيلَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَلَا تَوَضَّأُ قَالَ لِمَ أَلِلصَّلَاةِ
صحیح مسلم · Hadith 829
Ibn 'Abbas reported: We were with the Messenger of Allah ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) and he had come out of the privy. Food was presented to him. It was said to him (by the Companions around him): Wouldn't you perform ablution? Upon this he said: Why, am I to say prayer that I should perform ablution?
