Hadith of Abu Rafi' (may Allah be pleased with him)

حَدِيثُ أَبِي رَافِعٍ (١)، ٢٣٨٥٥ - حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ الْحَجَّاجِ، أَخْبَرَنَا حَاتِمُ بْنُ إِسْمَاعِيلَ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَجْلَانَ، عَنْ عَبَّادِ بْنِ عُبَيْدِ اللهِ بْنِ أَبِي رَافِعٍ، عَنْ أَبِي غَطَفَانَ، عَنْ أَبِي رَافِعٍ، قَالَ: ذَبَحْنَا لِرَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ شَاةً، " فَأَمَرَنَا فَعَالَجْنَا لَهُ شَيْئًا مِنْ بَطْنِهَا فَأَكَلَ، ثُمَّ قَامَ فَصَلَّى وَلَمْ يَتَوَضَّأْ " (٢)، ،

It is narrated from Abu Rafi’ (may Allah be pleased with him) that once we slaughtered a goat for the Noble Prophet (ﷺ). The Noble Prophet (ﷺ) instructed us, so we presented a small portion of it to him. The Noble Prophet (ﷺ) ate from it and then stood up to perform prayer, and in between, he did not perform fresh ablution.

حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ، حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ، عَنْ مُخَوَّلٍ، عَنْ رَجُلٍ، عَنْ أَبِي رَافِعٍ، قَالَ: " نَهَى النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَنْ يُصَلِّيَ الرَّجُلُ وَرَأْسُهُ مَعْقُوصٌ " (١)، ، . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .، ، . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .، ،

It is narrated from Abu Rafi' (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Noble Prophet (ﷺ) forbade a man from performing prayer while his hair is tied in a knot on his head.

حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْجَبَّارِ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ الْخَطَّابِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ وَهْبٍ، عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ الْحَارِثِ، أَنَّ بُكَيْرَ بْنَ عَبْدِ اللهِ، حَدَّثَهُ عَنِ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ عَلِيِّ بْنِ أَبِي رَافِعٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ جَدِّهِ أَبِي رَافِعٍ، قَالَ: بَعَثَتْنِي قُرَيْشٌ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، قَالَ: فَلَمَّا رَأَيْتُ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَقَعَ فِي قَلْبِي الْإِسْلَامُ، فَقُلْتُ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ لَا أَرْجِعُ إِلَيْهِمْ، قَالَ: " إِنِّي لَا أَخِيسُ بِالْعَهْدِ، وَلَا أَحْبِسُ، ، الْبُرُدَ (١) ، ارْجِعْ إِلَيْهِمْ، فَإِنْ كَانَ فِي قَلْبِكَ الَّذِي فِيهِ الْآنَ، فَارْجِعْ " قَالَ بُكَيْرٌ: وَأَخْبَرَنِي الْحَسَنُ: " أَنَّ أَبَا رَافِعٍ كَانَ قِبْطِيًّا " (٢)،

It is narrated from Abu Rafi’ (may Allah be pleased with him) that once some people of the Quraysh sent me to the service of the Noble Prophet (ﷺ). As soon as I saw the Noble Prophet (ﷺ), Islam settled in my heart and I said, "O Messenger of Allah! Now I do not want to return to the Quraysh." The Noble Prophet (ﷺ) said, "I cannot break a covenant, nor can I detain envoys with me. Therefore, you should return now. If the intention in your heart remains the same as it is now, then come back to me." (So I went to them, then returned and presented myself in the court of Prophethood and was honored with Islam.)

حَدَّثَنَا يَعْقُوبُ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبِي، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ إِسْحَاقَ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنِي عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ حَسَنٍ، عَنْ بَعْضِ، أَهْلِهِ، ، عَنْ أَبِي رَافِعٍ، مَوْلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: " خَرَجْنَا مَعَ عَلِيٍّ حِينَ بَعَثَهُ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بِرَايَتِهِ، فَلَمَّا دَنَا مِنَ الْحِصْنِ خَرَجَ إِلَيْهِ أَهْلُهُ فَقَاتَلَهُمْ، فَضَرَبَهُ رَجُلٌ مِنْ يَهُودَ، فَطَرَحَ تُرْسَهُ مِنْ يَدِهِ، فَتَنَاوَلَ عَلِيٌّ بَابًا كَانَ عِنْدَ الْحِصْنِ، فَتَرَّسَ بِهِ نَفْسَهُ، فَلَمْ يَزَلْ فِي يَدِهِ وَهُوَ يُقَاتِلُ، حَتَّى فَتَحَ اللهُ عَلَيْهِ، ثُمَّ أَلْقَاهُ مِنْ يَدِهِ حِينَ فَرَغَ، فَلَقَدْ رَأَيْتُنِي فِي نَفَرٍ مَعِي سَبْعَةٌ أَنَا ثَامِنُهُمْ نَجْهَدُ عَلَى أَنْ نَقْلِبَ ذَلِكَ الْبَابَ، فَمَا نَقْلِبُهُ " (١)،

It is narrated from Abu Rafi’ (may Allah be pleased with him) that when the Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ) sent Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) by giving him his flag (on the occasion of the Battle of Khaybar), we also went out with him. When he reached near the fort, the people of the fort came out and the fighting began. A Jew attacked Ali (may Allah be pleased with him), and Ali’s shield fell from his hand. He uprooted the door of the fort and used it as a shield, and during the battle it remained continuously in his hand until Allah granted him victory. After the battle was over, Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) threw it away from his hand. I saw that a group of seven men—among whom I was the eighth—put all their strength into moving that door, but we could not move it.

حَدَّثَنَا مُؤَمَّلٌ، حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادٌ، حَدَّثَنِي عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ أَبِي رَافِعٍ، عَنْ عَمَّتِهِ، عَنْ أَبِي رَافِعٍ، قَالَ: صُنِعَ لِرَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ شَاةٌ مَصْلِيَّةٌ فَأُتِيَ، ، بِهَا فَقَالَ لِي: " يَا أَبَا رَافِعٍ نَاوِلْنِي الذِّرَاعَ فَنَاوَلْتُهُ " فَقَالَ: " يَا أَبَا رَافِعٍ نَاوِلْنِي الذِّرَاعَ فَنَاوَلْتُهُ " ثُمَّ قَالَ: " يَا أَبَا رَافِعٍ نَاوِلْنِي الذِّرَاعَ " فَقُلْتُ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ وَهَلْ لِلشَّاةِ إِلَّا ذِرَاعَانِ؟ فَقَالَ: " لَوْ سَكَتَّ لَنَاوَلْتَنِي مِنْهَا مَا دَعَوْتُ بِهِ " قَالَ: وَكَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يُعْجِبُهُ الذِّرَاعُ (١)،

It is narrated from Abu Rafi’ (may Allah be pleased with him) that once he cooked meat in a pot for the Noble Prophet (ﷺ). The Noble Prophet (ﷺ) said, “Give me its foreleg.” So I took it out and gave it to him. After a little while, the Noble Prophet (ﷺ) asked for another foreleg, and I gave that too. After a little while, the Noble Prophet (ﷺ) again asked for a foreleg. I said, “O Messenger of Allah! How many forelegs does a goat have?” The Noble Prophet (ﷺ) said, “By Him in Whose hand is my soul, if you had remained silent, forelegs would have continued to come out from this pot as long as I kept asking you for them.”

حَدَّثَنَا حُسَيْنٌ، حَدَّثَنَا شَرِيكٌ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ، عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ حُسَيْنٍ، عَنْ أَبِي رَافِعٍ، قَالَ: ضَحَّى رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بِكَبْشَيْنِ أَمْلَحَيْنِ، ، مَوْجِيَّيْنِ خَصِيَّيْنِ، فَقَالَ: " أَحَدُهُمَا عَمَّنْ شَهِدَ بِالتَّوْحِيدِ، وَلَهُ بِالْبَلَاغِ، وَالْآخَرُ عَنْهُ وَعَنْ أَهْلِ بَيْتِهِ " قَالَ: فَكَاَنَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَدْ كَفَانَا (١)،

It is narrated from Abu Rafi’ (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Noble Prophet (ﷺ) sacrificed two beautiful, castrated rams and said: One of them is on behalf of every person who bears witness to the oneness of Allah and to the Prophethood of the Noble Prophet (ﷺ), and the other is on behalf of himself and his family. The narrator says that in this way, the Noble Prophet (ﷺ) sufficed for us.

حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِسْحَاقَ، أَخْبَرَنَا عَبْدُ اللهِ، أَخْبَرَنَا ابْنُ لَهِيعَةَ، حَدَّثَنِي أَبُو النَّضْرِ، أَنَّ عُبَيْدَ اللهِ بْنَ أَبِي رَافِعٍ، حَدَّثَهُ، ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: " لَأَعْرِفَنَّ مَا بَلَغَ (١) أَحَدَكُمْ مِنْ حَدِيثِي شَيْءٌ، وَهُوَ مُتَّكِئٌ عَلَى أَرِيكَتِهِ، فَيَقُولُ: مَا أَجِدُ هَذَا فِي كِتَابِ اللهِ " (٢)، ،

It is narrated from Abu Rafi' (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Noble Prophet (ﷺ) said: I know of a person among you to whom a hadith of mine reaches, and he, reclining on his couch, says: I do not find this command in the Book of Allah.

حَدَّثَنَا عَفَّانُ، حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادٌ، أَخْبَرَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ أَبِي رَافِعٍ، عَنْ عَمَّتِهِ سَلْمَى، عَنْ أَبِي رَافِعٍ: أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ طَافَ عَلَى نِسَائِهِ فِي يَوْمٍ، فَجَعَلَ يَغْتَسِلُ عِنْدَ هَذِهِ وَعِنْدَ هَذِهِ، فَقِيلَ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، لَوْ جَعَلْتَهُ غُسْلًا وَاحِدًا قَالَ: " هَذَا أَزْكَى وَأَطْيَبُ وَأَطْهَرُ " (١)، ،

Abu Rafi’ (may Allah be pleased with him) says that once the Noble Prophet (ﷺ) visited all his pure wives in a single day, and after being with each one, he performed ghusl (ritual bath). Someone asked, “O Messenger of Allah! If you had performed ghusl only once (would there have been any harm)?” The Noble Prophet (ﷺ) replied, “This way is more pure, better, and cleaner.”

حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ، أَخْبَرَنَا سُفْيَانُ، عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي لَيْلَى، عَنِ الْحَكَمِ بْنِ عُتَيْبَةَ، عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي رَافِعٍ، عَنِ أَبِي رَافِعٍ قَالَ: مَرَّ عَلَيَّ الْأَرْقَمُ الزُّهْرِيُّ، أَوْ ابْنُ أَبِي الْأَرْقَمِ، وَاسْتُعْمِلَ عَلَى الصَّدَقَاتِ، قَالَ: فَاسْتَتْبَعَنِي، قَالَ: فَأَتَيْتُ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَسَأَلْتُهُ عَنْ ذَلِكَ، فَقَالَ: " يَا أَبَا رَافِعٍ، إِنَّ الصَّدَقَةَ حَرَامٌ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَعَلَى آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ، إِنَّ مَوْلَى الْقَوْمِ مِنْ أَنْفُسِهِمْ " (١)، ،

It is narrated from Abu Rafi’ (may Allah be pleased with him) that once Arqam (may Allah be pleased with him) or his son passed by me. They had been appointed for the collection of zakat. They invited me to go with them. I presented myself before the Holy Prophet (ﷺ) and asked him about this matter. The Holy Prophet (ﷺ) said: O Abu Rafi’! Zakat is forbidden for Muhammad and the family of Muhammad (ﷺ), and the freed slave of a people is counted among them.

حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ بْنُ هَارُونَ، قَالَ: قَالَ مُحَمَّدٌ يَعْنِي ابْنَ إِسْحَاقَ: فَحَدَّثَنِي حُسَيْنُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ عُبَيْدِ اللهِ بْنِ عَبَّاسٍ، عَنْ عِكْرِمَةَ، قَالَ: قَالَ أَبُو رَافِعٍ: مَوْلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: كُنْتُ غُلَامًا لِلْعَبَّاسِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الْمُطَّلِبِ، وَكَانَ الْإِسْلَامُ قَدْ دَخَلَنَا، فَأَسْلَمْتُ وَأَسْلَمَتْ أُمُّ الْفَضْلِ، وَكَانَ الْعَبَّاسُ قَدْ أَسْلَمَ، وَلَكِنَّهُ كَانَ يَهَابُ قَوْمَهُ، فَكَانَ يَكْتُمُ إِسْلَامَهُ، وَكَانَ أَبُو لَهَبٍ عَدُوُّ اللهِ قَدْ تَخَلَّفَ عَنْ بَدْرٍ، وَبَعَثَ مَكَانَهُ الْعَاصَ بْنَ هِشَامِ بْنِ الْمُغِيرَةِ، وَكَذَلِكَ كَانُوا صَنَعُوا، لَمْ يَتَخَلَّفْ رَجُلٌ إِلَّا بَعَثَ مَكَانَهُ رَجُلًا، فَلَمَّا جَاءَنَا الْخَبَرُ كَبَتَهُ اللهُ وَأَخْزَاهُ، وَوَجَدْنَا فِي أَنْفُسَنِا قُوَّةً، فَذَكَرَ الْحَدِيثَ وَمِنْ هَذَا الْمَوْضُوعِ فِي كِتَابِ يَعْقُوبَ مُرْسَلٌ لَيْسَ فِيهِ إِسْنَادٌ، وَقَالَ فِيهِ: أَخُو بَنِي سَالِمِ بْنِ عَوْفٍ قَالَ: وَكَانَ فِي الْأُسَارَى أَبُو وَدَاعَةَ بْنُ صُبَيْرَةَ السَّهْمِيُّ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: " إِنَّ لَهُ بِمَكَّةَ ابْنًا كَيِّسًا تَاجِرًا، ذَا مَالٍ، لَكَأَنَّكُمْ، ، بِهِ قَدْ جَاءَنِي فِي فِدَاءِ أَبِيهِ "، وَقَدْ قَالَتْ قُرَيْشٌ: لَا تَعْجَلُوا بِفِدَاءِ أُسَارَاكُمْ، لَا يَتَأَرَّبُ عَلَيْكُمْ مُحَمَّدٌ وَأَصْحَابُهُ، فَقَالَ الْمُطَّلِبُ بْنُ أَبِي وَدَاعَةَ: صَدَقْتُمْ فَافْعَلُوا، وَانْسَلَّ مِنَ اللَّيْلِ، فَقَدِمَ الْمَدِينَةَ، وَأَخَذَ أَبَاهُ بِأَرْبَعَةِ آلَافِ دِرْهَمٍ، فَانْطَلَقَ بِهِ، وَقَدِمَ مِكْرَزُ بْنُ حَفْصِ بْنِ الْأَخْيَفِ فِي فِدَاءِ سُهَيْلِ بْنِ عَمْرٍو وَكَانَ الَّذِي أَسَرَهُ مَالِكُ بْنُ الدُّخْشُنِ أَخُو بَنِي مَالِكِ بْنِ عَوْفٍ (١)، ،

It is narrated from Abu Rafi’ (may Allah be pleased with him) that in the beginning, Abbas bin Abdul Muttalib (may Allah be pleased with him) was a slave. Islam had entered our house and I and Umm al-Fadl had accepted Islam. Abbas (may Allah be pleased with him) had also accepted Islam but he kept it hidden out of fear of his people. Abu Lahab, the enemy of Allah, could not participate in the Battle of Badr and he sent As bin Hisham in his place, because it was customary among the people that if a man could not participate in the battle, he would send another man in his stead. Then, when the good news of the victory at Badr reached us, Allah humiliated and disgraced Abu Lahab and we felt strength within ourselves. Then he mentioned the complete hadith. The continuation of the previous hadith is mentioned in Yaqub’s book in a mursal form as follows: Among the captives of the Battle of Badr was a man named Abu Wada’ah bin Sabirah Sahmi. The Holy Prophet (ﷺ) said that he has a son in Makkah who is very clever, a trader, and wealthy. Soon you will see that he will come to me to pay the ransom for his father. At that time, the Quraysh had announced that they should not be hasty in paying the ransom for their captives, so that Muhammad (ﷺ) and his companions would not be able to keep them away from you. Abu Wada’ah’s son, Mutalib, also said that you are right, do so. But when night fell, he quietly slipped out of Makkah and reached Madinah, and for four thousand dirhams, he ransomed his father and set out with him. Similarly, Makraz bin Hafs also came with the ransom for Suhail bin Amr. He was the same one who had been captured by Malik bin Dakhsh (may Allah be pleased with him), who belonged to Banu Malik bin Auf.

حَدَّثَنَا رَوْحٌ، حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ جُرَيْجٍ، أَخْبَرَنِي الْعَبَّاسُ بْنُ أَبِي خِدَاشٍ (١) ، عَنِ الْفَضْلِ بْنِ عُبَيْدِ اللهِ بْنِ أَبِي رَافِعٍ، عَنْ أَبِي رَافِعٍ، أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: " يَا أَبَا رَافِعٍ، اقْتُلْ كُلَّ كَلْبٍ بِالْمَدِينَةِ " قَالَ: فَوَجَدْتُ نِسْوَةً مِنَ الْأَنْصَارِ بِالصَّوْرَيْنِ مِنَ الْبَقِيعِ لَهُنَّ كَلْبٌ، فَقُلْنَ: يَا أَبَا رَافِعٍ، إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ قَدْ أَغْزَى رِجَالَنَا، وَإِنَّ هَذَا الْكَلْبَ يَمْنَعُنَا بَعْدَ اللهِ، وَاللهِ مَا يَسْتَطِيعُ أَحَدٌ أَنْ يَأْتِيَنَا حَتَّى تَقُومَ امْرَأَةٌ مِنَّا فَتَحُولَ بَيْنَهُ وَبَيْنَهُ، فَاذْكُرْهُ لِلنَّبِيّ فَذَكَرَهُ (٢) أَبُو رَافِعٍ لِلنَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقَالَ: " يَا أَبَا رَافِعٍ اقْتُلْهُ فَإِنَّمَا، ، يَمْنَعُهُنَّ اللهُ " (١)، ،

It is narrated from Abu Rafi’ (may Allah be pleased with him) that once the Noble Prophet (ﷺ) said to me, “O Abu Rafi’! Kill all the dogs found in Madinah.” He says that I saw some Ansari women in Jannat al-Baqi’ who had some trees, and those women also had dogs with them. They said, “O Abu Rafi’! The Noble Prophet (ﷺ) has sent our men for jihad. After Allah, now only these dogs protect us, and by Allah, no one dares to come near us. Even when any one of us women gets up, these dogs become a barrier between her and the people. Therefore, mention this matter to the Noble Prophet (ﷺ).” So he mentioned this matter to the Noble Prophet (ﷺ), and the Noble Prophet (ﷺ) said, “Abu Rafi’! You kill them; Allah Himself will protect the women.”

حَدَّثَنَا أَسْوَدُ بْنُ عَامِرٍ، وَحُسَيْنُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ، قَالَا: حَدَّثَنَا شَرِيكٌ، عَنْ عَاصِمِ بْنِ عُبَيْدِ اللهِ، عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ الْحُسَيْنِ، عَنْ أَبِي رَافِعٍ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: كَانَ إِذَا سَمِعَ الْمُؤَذِّنَ قَالَ مِثْلَ مَا يَقُولُ، حَتَّى إِذَا بَلَغَ حَيَّ عَلَى الصَّلَاةِ حَيَّ عَلَى الْفَلَاحِ، ، قَالَ: " لَا حَوْلَ وَلَا قُوَّةَ إِلَّا بِاللهِ " (١)،

It is narrated from Abu Rafi’ (may Allah be pleased with him) that when the Noble Prophet (ﷺ) would hear the voice of the muezzin, he would repeat the same phrases that he was saying, but when he reached "Hayya ‘ala-s-Salah" and "Hayya ‘ala-l-Falah," the Noble Prophet (ﷺ) would say: "La hawla wa la quwwata illa billah."

حَدَّثَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْعَزِيزِ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ، عَنْ عَمْرٍو يَعْنِي ابْنَ أَبِي عَمْرٍو، عَنِ الْمُغِيرَةِ بْنِ أَبِي رَافِعٍ، عَنْ أَبِي رَافِعٍ، مَوْلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: " أَنَّهُ رَأَى رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَأُتِيَ بِكَتِفِ شَاةٍ فَأَكَلَهَا، ثُمَّ قَامَ إِلَى الصَّلَاةِ، وَلَمْ يَمَسَّ قَطْرَةَ مَاءٍ " (٢)، ،

It is narrated from Abu Rafi’ (may Allah be pleased with him) that once we slaughtered a goat for the Noble Prophet (ﷺ). The Noble Prophet (ﷺ) instructed us, so we presented a small portion of it to the Noble Prophet (ﷺ). The Noble Prophet (ﷺ) ate from it and then stood up to perform prayer, and in between, he did not perform fresh ablution.

حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ بَحْرٍ، حَدَّثَنَا حَاتِمُ بْنُ إِسْمَاعِيلَ، حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ عَجْلَانَ، عَنْ عَبَّادِ بْنِ أَبِي رَافِعٍ، عَنْ أَبِي غَطَفَانَ، عَنْ أَبِي رَافِعٍ، مَوْلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: ذَبَحْتُ لِرَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ شَاةً " فَأَمَرَنِي فَقَلَيْتُ لَهُ مِنْ بَطْنِهَا، فَأَكَلَ مِنْهُ (١) ، ثُمَّ قَامَ فَصَلَّى، وَلَمْ يَتَوَضَّأْ " (٢)، ،

It is narrated from Abu Rafi’ (may Allah be pleased with him) that once we slaughtered a goat for the Noble Prophet (ﷺ). The Noble Prophet (ﷺ) instructed us, so we presented a small portion of it to him. The Noble Prophet (ﷺ) ate from it and then stood up to pray, and in between, he did not perform fresh ablution.

حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى، وَعَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ، عَنْ سُفْيَانَ، عَنْ عَاصِمِ بْنِ عُبَيْدِ اللهِ، عَنْ عُبَيْدِ اللهِ بْنِ أبِي رَافِعٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، قَالَ: رَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ " أَذَّنَ فِي أُذُنَيِ الْحَسَنِ حِينَ وَلَدَتْهُ فَاطِمَةُ بِالصَّلَاةِ " (١)، ،

It is narrated from Abu Rafi’ (may Allah be pleased with him) that when Imam Hasan (may Allah be pleased with him) was born to Fatimah (may Allah be pleased with her), I saw that the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) himself gave the call to prayer (adhan) in his ear.

حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ، وَأَبُو كَامِلٍ، قَالَا: حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ أَبِي رَافِعٍ، عَنْ عَمَّتِهِ، عَنْ أَبِي رَافِعٍ: أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ طَافَ عَلَى نِسَائِهِ جَمَعَ فِي يَوْمٍ وَاحِدٍ، وَاغْتَسَلَ عِنْدَ كُلِّ وَاحِدَةٍ مِنْهُنَّ غُسْلًا، فَقُلْتُ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، أَلَا تَجْعَلُهُ غُسْلًا وَاحِدًا؟ فَقَالَ: " إِنَّ هَذَا أَزْكَى وَأَطْهَرُ وَأَطْيَبُ " (١)،

Abu Rafi’ (may Allah be pleased with him) says that once the Noble Prophet (ﷺ) visited all his noble wives in a single day, and after being with each one, he performed ghusl (ritual bath).
