حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ عُلَيَّةَ، عَنْ رَوْحِ بْنِ الْقَاسِمِ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَقِيلٍ، عَنِ الرُّبَيِّعِ، قَالَتْ أَتَانِي ابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ فَسَأَلَنِي عَنْ هَذَا الْحَدِيثِ، – تَعْنِي حَدِيثَهَا الَّذِي ذَكَرَتْ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ تَوَضَّأَ وَغَسَلَ رِجْلَيْهِ – فَقَالَ ابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ إِنَّ النَّاسَ أَبَوْا إِلاَّ الْغَسْلَ وَلاَ أَجِدُ فِي كِتَابِ اللَّهِ إِلاَّ الْمَسْحَ ‏.‏

The above hadith is from the Sunan Ibn Majah collection of hadiths. The above hadith is from the Sunan Ibn Majah collection of hadiths. Within the esteemed group of the six canonical hadith collections, Sunan Ibn Majah occupies a unique position. Compiled by the scholar Ibn Majah, who died in 273 AH, this work assembles approximately 4,000 hadiths addressing a comprehensive set of topics. These narratives provide vital insights into Islamic faith, the proper observance of rituals, the cultivation of good character, and complex social issues. Its reputation, however, is nuanced. It is universally respected yet simultaneously acknowledged to have a higher number of weak narrations compared to Sahih al-Bukhari, Sahih Muslim, and the other Sunan works. Consequently, scholars approach it with a discerning eye, but it is nonetheless a cornerstone text for academic reference.
