Clarification of Hadith on Passing Wind

Question:
i know that the haith re passing wind says that you assume no wind
passed unless you hear or smell it today during the farz of isha, i
had grumblings in my stomach and also there was a small noise.
HOWEVER, i was pretty confident that i didnt pass any wind from my
backside and the noise could have beeninternal stomach grumblings, a
joint cracking or the floorboards and didntsound much like a fart at
all given that certainty isnt lifted bydoubt, i put this downto
waswasah and carried on with salah,sunnahs and witr. Was this correct
or should i re-read isha and witr on the basis that the noise may have
been a fart (although i dont thinkit was on balance)
Answer:
Walaikum assalam wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuh,
The hadith of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him)
is telling us that unless certain that one hasactually passed wind,
one must assume that one hasn't. What you did was correct.
And Allah alone gives success.
