Sunan Abi Dawud, 48

Rapporté par Abdullah ibn Abdullah ibn Umar : Muhammad ibn Yahya ibn Habban a demandé à Abdullah ibn Abdullah ibn Umar pourquoi Ibn Umar faisait ses ablutions avant chaque prière, qu’il ait ou non déjà les ablutions. Il a répondu : Asma’, fille de Zayd ibn al-Khattab, m’a rapporté qu’Abdullah ibn Hanzalah ibn Abu Amir lui avait dit que le Messager d’Allah ﷺ avait d’abord reçu l’ordre de faire les ablutions avant chaque prière, qu’il les ait ou non. Quand cela est devenu difficile pour lui, il a reçu l’ordre d’utiliser le siwak à chaque prière. Comme Ibn Umar pensait avoir la force de faire les ablutions avant chaque prière, il n’a jamais abandonné cette pratique. Abu Dawud a dit : Ibrahim ibn Sa’d a rapporté ce hadith d’après Muhammad ibn Ishaq, et il y mentionne le nom de ‘Ubaid Allah ibn Abdullah (au lieu de ‘Abd Allah ibn ‘Abd Allah ibn Umar)

Narrated Abdullah b. 'Abd Allah b. 'Umar: Muhammad ibn Yahya ibn Habban asked Abdullah ibn Abdullah ibn Umar about the reason for Ibn Umar's performing ablution for every prayer, whether he was with or without ablution. He replied: Asma', daughter of Zayd ibn al-Khattab, reported to me that Abdullah ibn Hanzalah ibn AbuAmir narrated to her that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) was earlier commanded to perform ablution for every prayer whether or not he was with ablution. When it became a burden for him, he was ordered to use tooth-stick for every prayer. As Ibn Umar thought that he had the strength (to perform the ablution for every prayer), he did not give up performing ablution for every prayer. Abu Dawud said: Ibrahim b. Sa'd narrated this tradition on the authority of Muhammad b. Ishaq, and there he mentions the name of 'Ubaid Allah b. 'Abd Allah (instead of 'Abd Allah b. 'Abd Allah b. 'Umar)
