Sunan Ibn Majah 493 — Mouth Rinse and Hand Washing After Meat

Summary of Sunan Ibn Majah Hadith 493

This narration from Abu Hurairah reports that the Messenger of Allah ate meat from the shoulder of a sheep. After that, he rinsed his mouth, washed his hands, and prayed. For search terms like “wash hands after eating meat hadith” and “rinsing mouth after meat before prayer,” the Hadith gives a clean and practical example. It does not say that a full new wudu was performed. It mentions two actions: rinsing the mouth and washing the hands. The focus is on cleanliness after eating before standing for prayer. The narration is simple but useful because it connects ordinary food manners with readiness for worship.
