Muwatta 62

A report that Malik transmits from Musa ibn Uqba from Abd al-Rahman ibn Zayd al-Ansari, in the chapter on leaving ablution for food touched by fire: Anas ibn Malik (may God be pleased with him) came from Iraq and Abu Talha and Ubayy ibn Ka'b visited him, and he brought food touched by fire, which they ate. Anas got up to perform ablution, and they objected and asked whether this was an Iraqi habit. He said he wished he had not done it, and they stood and prayed without performing ablution. The editor notes that the name in some copies is Abd al-Rahman ibn Yazid, and that the correct name is Zayd, and that Ahmad transmitted a connected version of the report from Ibn al-Mubarak from Musa ibn Uqba, in which they say: "Do you perform ablution from good things? No one better than you performed ablution from it". ¹
