This narration explicitly confirms the obligation of the six aforementioned washes, and it is not permissible for anyone to argue that this narration cannot be used as evidence because it mentions washes whose obligation is agreed upon not to exist. If we relied solely on the apparent meaning of the narration, we would say that all these washes are obligatory. However, we are prevented from such a conclusion by other narrations that clarify which of these washes are not obligatory. Thus, when these other narrations are established, we interpret the mention of "obligation" in this narration as emphasizing the sunnah. Further evidence for this interpretation will be provided later, Allah سبحانه وتعالى willing.
