Narrated Aishah, Ummul Muminin: The Prophet ﷺ kissed me and did not perform ablution. Abu Dawud said: This tradition is Mursal (i. e. where the link of the Companions is missing and the Successor reports from the Prophet directly). Ibrahim at-Taimi did not hear anything from Aishah. Abu Dawud said: Al-Firyabi and other narrated this tradition in a like manner.

Aishah reported: The Prophet ﷺ kissed one of his wives and went out for saying prayer. He did not perform ablution. Urwah said: I said to her: Who is she except you! Thereupon she laughed. Abu Dawud said: The same version has been reported through a different chain of narrators.

This tradition has been reported through another chain of narrators on the authority of Aishah. Abu Dawud said: Yahya bin Saeed al-Qattan said to a person: Narrate these two tradition from me, that is to say, one tradition on the authority of al-Amash from Habib (about kissing); another through the same chain about a woman who has prolonged flow of bloos and she is asked to perform ablution for every prayer. Yahya said: Narrate from me that both these traditions are weak in respect of their chains. Abu Dawud said: Al-Thawri is reported to have said: Habib narrated this tradition to us only on the authority of 'Urwat al-Muzani, that is, he did not narrated any tradition on the authority of Urwah bin al-Zubair. Abu Dawud said: Hamzah al-Zayyat reported a sound tradition on the authority of Habib, from Urwah bin al-Zubair from Aishah.
