Some people of knowledge among the Companions of the Prophet and those after them, permitted using a towel after Wudu. Those who disliked it, only disliked it from the view of the saying: “Wudu is weighed.” That as reported from Sa’eed bin Al- Musayyab and Az-Zuhri. Muhammad bin Humaid narrated to us, Jarir narrated to us, he said: Ali bin Mujahid narrated to me, and he is trustworthy to me, from me, from: Tha’labah from Az-Zuhri, he said: “The towel is only disliked after Wudu because Wudu is weighed.”

He said: “And I have not seen any among those lacking in intellect and religion who are more difficult upon people possessing reason and insight than you.” A woman among them said: “And what is the deficiency of her intellect and religion?” He said: “The testimony of two women among you is like the testimony of a man, and the deficiency in your religion is menstruation, because one of you will go three or four days without performing Salat.”

The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) came to him, and when he stood over him, about to perform the prayer, he turned until he was standing at his chest. I said: “O Messenger of Allah! (You pray) for Allah’s enemy ‘Abdullah bin Ubayy, who on this day said this and that” – mentioning different days. He said: “The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) was smiling until I had said too much to him and he said: ‘Leave me O ‘Umar! Indeed I have been given the choice, so I chose. I was told: Whether you ask forgiveness for them, or do not ask for forgiveness for them. Even though you ask for their forgiveness seventy times, Allah will not forgive them (9:80). If I knew that were I to ask more than seventy times that he would be forgiven, then I would do so.” He said: “Then he performed the Salat for him and walked with him (his funeral procession) and he stood at his grave until it was finished. I was amazed at myself and my daring to talk like that to the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ), while Allah and His Messenger (ﷺ) know better. But by Allah! It was not long until these two Ayat were revealed: ‘And never pray for any of them who dies nor stand at his grave… (9:84) until the end of the Ayah. He said: “So afterwards the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) did not perform the Salat for a hypocrite, nor would he stand at his grave until Allah took him.”
“I saw the Messenger of Allah in his (constructed) toilet, facing towards the Qiblah.” (Da’if) (One of the narrators) ‘Eisa said: “I told that to Sha’bi, and he said: ‘Ibn ‘Umar spoke the truth. As for the words of Abu Hurairah, he said: “In the desert do not face the Qiblah nor turn one’s back towards it.” As for the words of Ibn ‘Umar, he said: “In the (constructed) toilet there is no Qiblah so turn in whatever direction you want.” Another chain with similar wording.

“I was confused about this Divine Decree (Qadar), and I was afraid lest that adversely affect my religion and my affairs. So I went to Ubayy bin Ka’b and said: ‘O Abu Mundhir! I am confused about the Divine Decree, and I fear for my religion and my affairs, so tell me something about that through which Allah may benefit me.’ He said: ‘If Allah were to punish the inhabitants of His heavens and of his earth, He would do so and He would not be unjust towards them. And if He were to have mercy on them, His mercy would be better for them than their own deeds. If you had the equivalent of Mount Uhud which you spent in the cause of Allah, that would not be accepted from you until you believed in the Divine Decree and you know that whatever has befallen you, could not have passed you by; and whatever has passed you by, could not have befallen you; and that if you were to die believing anything other than this, you would enter Hell. And it will not harm you to go to my brother, ‘Abdullah bin Mas’ud, and ask him (about this).’ So I went to ‘Abdullah and asked him , and he said something similar to what Ubayy had said, and he told me: ‘It will not harm you to go to Hudhaifah.’ So I went to Hudhaifah and asked him, and he said something similar to what they had said. And he told me: ‘Go to Zaid bin Thabit and ask him.’ So I went to Zaid bun Thabit and asked him, and he said: ‘I heard the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) say: “If Allah were to punish the inhabitants of His heavens and of His earth, he would do so and He would not be unjust towards them. And if He were to have mercy on them, His mercy would be better for them than their own deeds. If you had the equivalent of Mount Uhud which you spent in the cause of Allah, that would not be accepted from you until you believed in the Divine Decree and you know that whatever has befallen you, could not have passed you by; and whatever has passed you by, could not have befallen you; and that if you were to die believing anything other than this, you would enter Hell”
