Narrated to us [Qutaibah] and [Muhammad bin ‘Abdul Malik bin Abi Ash-Shawarib Al-Basri]: both said: narrated to us [Abu ‘Awanah] from [Qatadah] from [Mu’adah] from [‘A’ishah]: "Instruct your husbands to wash the private parts with water: I am shy to tell them, yet the Messenger of Allah, may Allah’s peace be upon him, did so." In this chapter there are also narrations from Jarir bin ‘Abdullah Al-Bajali, Anas and Abu Hurairah. Abu Isa said: "This hadith is hasan sahih. The people of knowledge act upon it: they prefer washing with water even though istinja’ with stones is valid in their view, and they regard water as superior. This view is held by Sufyan Ath-Thawri, Ibn Al-Mubarak, Ash-Shafi’i, Ahmad and Ishaq."
