Why Ghusl Was Mandatory Back Then.. (Ahadith 723 – 724)

Assalamu`alaykum,
Bismillah.

Hadith no. 722 is a repeat. Read it here.

Volume 2, Book 13, Number 723:

Narrated Aisha:

(the wife of the Prophet) The people used to come from their abodes and from Al-‘Awali (i.e. outskirts of Medina up to a distance of four miles or more from Medina). They used to pass through dust and used to be drenched with sweat and covered with dust; so sweat used to trickle from them. One of them came to Allah’s Apostle who was in my house. The Prophet said to him, “I wish that you keep yourself clean on this day of yours (i.e. take a bath).”

Volume 2, Book 13, Number 724:

Narrated Yahya bin Said:

I asked ‘Amra about taking a bath on Fridays. She replied, ” Aisha said, ‘The people used to work (for their livelihood) and whenever they went for the Jumua prayer, they used to go to the mosque in the same shape as they had been in work. So they were asked to take a bath on Friday.’ “

In the Love of Allah

Lost and confused, not knowing what to do

They said I wasn’t worthy to fit in anyone’s shoe

What is this strange place?

That I haven’t seen before

Walking on a strange path

Where to go, I’m not sure

This world is scary

It fills me with sadness

Following Satan’s footsteps

It’s driving me to madness

But then I saw a light

To salvation there was a way

The path of those who are guided

And not of those who are astray

The Quran, yes it was

Emanating such a light

Making my dark path

Full of colors, so bright

The journey I was afraid of

It now gives me hope

A strange kind of strength

No problems to cope

The darkness dissipates, every time I smile

And in the love of Allah, I walk miles
