الحافظ
الحفظُ في اللغة هو مراعاةُ الشيء، والاعتناءُ به، و(الحافظ) اسمٌ...
Maymūnah bint al-Hārith (may Allah be pleased with her) reported: I prepared water for Allah's Messenger to purify himself from the major impurity. He poured water with his right hand onto his left hand twice or three times and then washed his private parts and rubbed his hand on the ground or the wall twice or three times. Then he rinsed out his mouth and washed his nose by inhaling water into it and blowing it out. Then he washed his face and forearms and poured water onto his head and washed his body. Then he moved aside and washed his feet. Then I brought him a cloth but he did not want it but instead shook off the traces of water from his body with his hand.
شرح الحديث :
In this Hadīth, Mother of the Believers Maymūnah bint al-Hārith (may Allah be pleased with her) explains one of the ways how the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) purified himself (took a bath) from the major ritual impurity, as she prepared water for him in the area used for the ritual bath so that he could purify himslef. He began by pouring water with his right hand onto his left hand and washing his hands three times. Then he washed his private parts to clean traces of impurity remained. Then, he struck the ground or wall with his hand and rubbed them two or three times against it. Then he rinsed out his mouth and washed his nose by inhaling water into it and blowing it out, and he washed his face and his forearms. Then, he poured water onto his head. Then, he washed the rest of his body. Then, he moved to another place and washed his feet in another place, as he had not yet washed them beforehand. Then she brought him a cloth to dry off with, but he did not take it and instead wiped the water off his body with his hand.
