English narration

Narrated by سلمان الفارسي

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.

حَدَّثَنَا مُوسَى بْنُ إِسْمَاعِيل ، حَدَّثَنَا قَيْسٌ ، عَنْ أَبِي هَاشِمٍ ، عَنْ زَاذَانَ ، عَنْ سَلْمَانَ ، قَالَ : قَرَأْتُ فِي التَّوْرَاةِ : أَنَّ بَرَكَةَ الطَّعَامِ الْوُضُوءُ قَبْلَهُ ، فَذَكَرْتُ ذَلِكَ لِلنَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، فَقَالَ : بَرَكَةُ الطَّعَامِ الْوُضُوءُ قَبْلَهُ وَالْوُضُوءُ بَعْدَهُ " ، وَكَانَ سُفْيَانُ يَكْرَهُ الْوُضُوءَ قَبْلَ الطَّعَامِ ، قَالَ أَبُو دَاوُد : وَهُوَ ضَعِيفٌ .
