(Book 2, Hadith 25) #35110
Praying Without Wudu

SUMMARY: Abu Bakr as-Siddiq ate meat and then prayed without doing wudu.

Yahya related to me from Malik from Abu Nuaym Wahb ibn Kaysan that he heard Jabir ibn Abdullah al-Ansari saying, "I saw Abu Bakr as- Siddiq eat meat and then pray without doing wudu".
وَحَدَّثَنِي يَحْيَى، عَنْ مَالِكٍ، عَنْ أَبِي نُعَيْمٍ، وَهْبِ بْنِ كَيْسَانَ أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ جَابِرَ بْنَ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ الأَنْصَارِيَّ، يَقُولُ رَأَيْتُ أَبَا بَكْرٍ الصِّدِّيقَ أَكَلَ لَحْمًا ثُمَّ صَلَّى وَلَمْ يَتَوَضَّأْ

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about the importance of performing wudu before prayer. It was narrated by Yahya from Malik from Abu Nuaym Wahb ibn Kaysan that he heard Jabir ibn Abdullah al-Ansari saying that he saw Abu Bakr as-Siddiq eating meat and then praying without doing wudu. This shows us that even though it is important to perform wudu before prayer, it is not necessary in all cases. In some cases, such as when one has eaten food or drink with their hands or mouth, it is necessary to perform wudu before prayer. However, in other cases such as when one has only touched something with their hands or feet without consuming anything with them, it is not necessary to perform wudu before prayer. Therefore this hadith teaches us the importance of performing wudu but also reminds us that there are certain exceptions where we can pray without having done so beforehand.
