ثُمَّ قَالَ وَ لَا يُدْخِلُ أَصَابِعَهُ تَحْتَ الشِّرَاكِ قَالَ ثُمَّ قَالَ إِنَّ اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ يَقُولُ يا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا إِذا قُمْتُمْ إِلَى الصَّلاةِ فَاغْسِلُوا وُجُوهَكُمْ وَ أَيْدِيَكُمْ فَلَيْسَ لَهُ أَنْ يَدَعَ شَيْئاً مِنْ وَجْهِهِ إِلَّا غَسَلَهُ وَ أَمَرَ بِغَسْلِ الْيَدَيْنِ إِلَى الْمِرْفَقَيْنِ فَلَيْسَ لَهُ أَنْ يَدَعَ شَيْئاً مِنْ يَدَيْهِ إِلَى الْمِرْفَقَيْنِ إِلَّا غَسَلَهُ لِأَنَّ اللَّهَ يَقُولُ فَاغْسِلُوا وُجُوهَكُمْ وَ أَيْدِيَكُمْ إِلَى الْمَرافِقِ Then he (the narrator) said: ‘And he -asws did not enter his -asws fingers underneath the slipper-straps.
Then he -asws said: ‘Allah -azwj Mighty and Majestic is Saying O you who believe! When you stand to the Salat, so wash your faces and your hands [5:6] , therefore it is not for him that he should leave anything from his face except that he washes it, and Commanded with the washing of the hands up to the elbow, therefore it is not for him that he leaves anything from his hands up to the two elbows except that he washes it because Allah -azwj is Saying so wash your faces and your hands to the elbows [5:6] .
ثُمَّ قَالَ وَ امْسَحُوا بِرُؤُسِكُمْ وَ أَرْجُلَكُمْ إِلَى الْكَعْبَيْنِ فَإِذَا مَسَحَ بِشَيْءٍ مِنْ رَأْسِهِ أَوْ بِشَيْءٍ مِنْ قَدَمَيْهِ مَا بَيْنَ الْكَعْبَيْنِ إِلَى أَطْرَافِ الْأَصَابِعِ فَقَدْ أَجْزَأَهُ Then He -azwj Said and wipe your heads and your leg to the ankles [5:6] . Thus if he were to wipe with something from his head, or with something from his feet what is between the two ankles up to the sides of the toes, so it would suffice him’.
He (the narrator) said: ‘We said, ‘Where are the two ankles?’ He -asws said: ‘Over here, meaning the joint bellowed the bones of the leg’. So we said, ‘This, what is it (exactly)?’ So he -asws said: ‘This is from the bone of the leg, and the ankle is below from that’. So we said, ‘May Allah -azwj Keep you -asws well!
So the one scoop (of water) would suffice for the face, and a scoop (each) for the arms?’ He -asws said: ‘Yes, when you exceed in it, and the two (is the most which would) would both come to be upon that, all of it’.
