Chapter 14 | The Quantity of Water Required for Wudu’, Showers and One Who Is Excessive in the Use of Water for Wudu’
3ـ عِدَّةٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِنَا عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ وَأَبُو دَاوُدَ جَمِيعاً عَنِ الْحُسَيْنِ بْنِ سَعِيدٍ عَنْ فَضَالَةَ عَنْ دَاوُدَ بْنِ فَرْقَدٍ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيْهِ الْسَّلام) يَقُولُ إِنَّ أَبِي كَانَ يَقُولُ إِنَّ لِلْوُضُوءِ حَدّاً مَنْ تَعَدَّاهُ لَمْ يُؤْجَرْ وَكَانَ أَبِي يَقُولُ إِنَّمَا يَتَلَدَّدُ فَقَالَ لَهُ رَجُلٌ وَمَا حَدُّهُ قَالَ تَغْسِلُ وَجْهَكَ وَيَدَيْكَ وَتَمْسَحُ رَأْسَكَ وَرِجْلَيْكَ.
3. A number of our people have narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad and abu Dawud all from al-Husayn ibn Sa‘id from Fadalah ibn Dawud ibn Farqad who has said the following: “I once heard abu ‘Abd Allah , say, ‘My father would say, “Wudu 5 has certain limits. If one trespasses such limits, he will not receive any reward.” My father would also say, “(Certain people) only make it perplexed.’” A man then asked, ‘What then are the limits of Wudu’?’ He (the Imam) said, ‘Wash your face and hands and wipe your head and feet.’”
