“Abu Musa Al-Ash’ari used
to
issue rulings concerning Tamattu’. Then a man said to him:
‘Withhold some of your rulings, for you do not know what the
Commander
of the Believers has introduced into the rites after you.’
(Abu Musa
said:) ‘Then when I met him later on, I asked him.’
‘Umar said: ‘I
know that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) and his
Companions did it, but
I did not like that people should lie with
their wives in the shade of
the Arak trees and then go out for Hajj
with their heads dripping,’
(i.e. due to the bath after sexual
relations).”
Sunan Ibn Majah Book 25, Hadith 98
