حَدَّثَنَا مُوسَی بْنُ إِسْمَعِيلَ حَدَّثَنَا قَيْسٌ عَنْ أَبِي هَاشِمٍ عَنْ زَاذَانَ عَنْ سَلْمَانَ قَالَ قَرَأْتُ فِي التَّوْرَاةِ أَنَّ بَرَکَةَ الطَّعَامِ الْوُضُوئُ قَبْلَهُ فَذَکَرْتُ ذَلِکَ لِلنَّبِيِّ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقَالَ بَرَکَةُ الطَّعَامِ الْوُضُوئُ قَبْلَهُ وَالْوُضُوئُ بَعْدَهُ وَکَانَ سُفْيَانُ يَکْرَهُ الْوُضُوئَ قَبْلَ الطَّعَامِ قَالَ أَبُو دَاوُد وَهُوَ ضَعِيفٌ
سنن ابودوٗد · Hadith 3761
Narrated Salman al-Farsi: I read in the Torah that the blessing of food consists in ablution before it. So I mentioned it to the Prophet ﷺ. He said: The blessing of food consists in ablution before it and ablution after it. Sufyan disapproved of performing ablution before taking food. Abu Dawud said: It is weak.
