Muwatta Malik #98
Purity
The Arabic includes the chain of narration (sanad) and the collector's commentary; the English translation shows the Prophet's words only.
وَحَدَّثَنِي عَنْ مَالِكٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ، أَنَّهُ كَانَ يَقُولُ مِنْ قُبْلَةِ الرَّجُلِ امْرَأَتَهُ الْوُضُوءُ . قَالَ { ابْنُ } نَافِعٍ قَالَ مَالِكٌ وَذَلِكَ أَحَبُّ مَا سَمِعْتُ إِلَىَّ .
Yahya related to me from Malik that Ibn Shihab used to say, "Wudu
is necessary if a man kisses his wife." Nafi said that Malik said,
"That is what I like most out of what I have heard."
