(Book 2, Hadith 20) #35105
Praying Without Wudu

SUMMARY: The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) and his companions went on an expedition to Khaybar. When they stopped for Asr prayer, only parched barley was available for food. The Prophet (PBUH) asked for it to be moistened and ate it with the people. He then prayed Maghrib without doing wudu.

Yahya related to me from Malik from Yahya ibn Said from Bushayr ibn Yasar, the mawla of the Bani Haritha, that Suwayd ibn anNuman told him that he went with the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, on the expedition to Khaybar. When they reached as Suhba, which was near Khaybar, the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, stopped and prayed asr. He asked for provisions but only parched barley was brought, so he asked for it to be moistened. The Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, ate and the people ate with him. Then he got up to do maghrib and rinsed his mouth out and they rinsed out theirs. Then he prayed without doing wudu.
وَحَدَّثَنِي عَنْ مَالِكٍ، عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ سَعِيدٍ، عَنْ بُشَيْرِ بْنِ يَسَارٍ، مَوْلَى بَنِي حَارِثَةَ عَنْ سُوَيْدِ بْنِ النُّعْمَانِ، أَنَّهُ أَخْبَرَهُ أَنَّهُ، خَرَجَ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ عَامَ خَيْبَرَ حَتَّى إِذَا كَانُوا بِالصَّهْبَاءِ - وَهِيَ مِنْ أَدْنَى خَيْبَرَ - نَزَلَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَصَلَّى الْعَصْرَ ثُمَّ دَعَا بِالأَزْوَادِ فَلَمْ يُؤْتَ إِلاَّ بِالسَّوِيقِ فَأَمَرَ بِهِ فَثُرِّيَ فَأَكَلَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَأَكَلْنَا ثُمَّ قَامَ إِلَى الْمَغْرِبِ فَمَضْمَضَ وَمَضْمَضْنَا ثُمَّ صَلَّى وَلَمْ يَتَوَضَّأْ

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about the Prophet Muhammad's journey to Khaybar with his companions. During this journey they stopped at a place called as Suhba where they prayed Asr prayer and ate parched barley that was moistened by the Prophet's request. After eating he got up to pray Maghrib without performing wudu first which shows us that in certain circumstances one can pray without wudu if there is no water available or if one cannot perform wudu due to illness or injury. This hadith teaches us that we should always strive to perform our prayers in a state of purity but if we are unable due to certain conditions then Allah will still accept our prayers even without performing wudu beforehand.
