by his foot (11). Al-Hasan narrated that he said: The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) was sitting in his mosque during prayer, and he grasped 'Aishah's foot without finding pleasure in it. It was recorded by Ishaq with his chain, and by al-Nasa'i (12). From 'Aishah, she said: I missed the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) one night, so I began looking for him. My hand fell upon his feet while they were raised up and he was prostrating, saying: "I seek refuge in Your pleasure from Your anger, and in Your pardon from Your punishment." Both of these were recorded by al-Nasa'i, and they were also recorded by Muslim (13). The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) used to pray while carrying Umamah bint Abi al-'As ibn al-Rabi'; when he prostrated he would put her down, and when he stood up he would carry her. Agreed upon (14). The outward meaning is that he did not remain safe from touching her, and because it is touching without desire, it does not invalidate [wudu'].
