حَدَّثَنَا مُسَدَّدٌ حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَعِيلُ حَدَّثَنَا أَيُّوبُ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ أَبِي مُلَيْکَةَ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَبَّاسٍ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ خَرَجَ مِنْ الْخَلَائِ فَقُدِّمَ إِلَيْهِ طَعَامٌ فَقَالُوا أَلَا نَأْتِيکَ بِوَضُوئٍ فَقَالَ إِنَّمَا أُمِرْتُ بِالْوُضُوئِ إِذَا قُمْتُ إِلَی الصَّلَاةِ
سنن ابودوٗد · Hadith 3760
Narrated Abdullah ibn Abbas: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ came out from the privy and was presented to him. They (the people) asked: Should we bring you water for ablution? He replied: I have been commanded to perform ablution when I get up for prayer.
