Information for "MuwataMalik-017-001-36082"

Yahya related to me from Malik from Yahya Ibn Muhammad Ibn Talha from Uthman Ibn Abdulrahman that his father related to him that he had heard that Umar Ibn AlKhattab used to wash what was beneath his waist wrapper with water. Yahya said that Malik was asked what a man should do if; when he did Ablution; he forgot and washed his face before he had rinsed his mouth; or washed his forearms before he had washed his face. He said; If someone washes his face before rinsing his mouth; he should rinse his mouth and not wash his face again. If someone washes his forearms before his face; however; he should wash his forearms again so that he has washed them after his face. This is if he is still near the place of Ablution. Yahya said that Malik was asked about what a man should do if he had forgotten to rinse his mouth and nose until he had prayed; and he said; He does not have to repeat the prayer; but should rinse his mouth and nose if he wishes to do any more prayers after that.
