حَدَّثَنَا سُوَيْدُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الْأَحْوَصِ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ عَنْ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ سَعْدٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ عَلِيٍّ قَالَ جَائَ رَجُلٌ إِلَی النَّبِيِّ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقَالَ إِنِّي اغْتَسَلْتُ مِنْ الْجَنَابَةِ وَصَلَّيْتُ الْفَجْرَ ثُمَّ أَصْبَحْتُ فَرَأَيْتُ قَدْرَ مَوْضِعِ الظُّفْرِ لَمْ يُصِبْهُ الْمَائُ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ لَوْ کُنْتَ مَسَحْتَ عَلَيْهِ بِيَدِکَ أَجْزَأَکَ
ابن ماجہ · Hadith 664
It was narrated that ‘Ali said: “A man came to the Prophet and said; ‘I bathed to cleanse myself from sexual impurity, and I prayed Fajr, then I noticed a spot the size of a fingernail that the water did not reach.’ The Messenger of Allah said: ‘If you had wiped it that would have been sufficient for you.’” (Da’if)
