2/2. Chapter:
حديث أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ: لَا يَقْبَلُ اللهُ صَلاةَ أَحَدِكُمْ إِذَا أَحْدَثَ حَتَّى يَتَوَضَّأَ.
The Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم said, "Allâh does not accept Salât (prayer) of anyone of you if he does (small) Hadath (passes wind etc.) till he performs the ablution (anew)." ( Sahih Al-Bukhârî, Hadîth No. 86, Vol. 9 )
2/3. Chapter:
حديث عُثْمَانَ بْنِ عَفَّانَ دَعَا بِإِنَاءٍ فَأَفْرَغَ عَلَى كَفَّيْهِ ثَلَاثَ مِرَارٍ فَغَسَلَهُمَا، ثُمَّ أَدْخَلَ يَمِينَهُ فِي الإِنَاءِ، فَمَضْمَضَ وَاسْتَنْشَقَ، ثُمَّ غَسَلَ وَجْهَهُ ثَلَاثًا، وَيَدَيْهِ إِلَى الْمِرْفَقَيْنِ ثَلَاثَ مِرَارٍ، ثُمَّ مَسَحَ بِرَأْسِهِ، ثُمَّ غَسَلَ رِجْلَيْهِ ثَلَاثَ مِرَارٍ إِلَى الْكَعْبَيْنِ، ثُمَّ قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ: مَنْ تَوَضَّأَ نَحْوَ وُضُوئِي هذَا ثُمَّ صَلَّى رَكْعَتَيْنِ لَا يُحَدِّثُ فِيهِمَا نَفْسَهُ غُفِرَ لَهُ مَا تَقَدَّمَ مِنْ ذَنْبِهِ.
I saw 'Uthmân bin 'Affân رضي الله عنه asking for a tumbler of water (and when it was brought) he poured water over his hands and washed them thrice and then put his right hand in the water container (took water from it) and rinsed his mouth, washed his nose by putting water in it and then blowing it out. Then he washed his face and forearms up to the elbows thrice, passed his wet hands over his head and washed his feet up to the ankles thrice.Then he said, "Allâh's Messenger صلى الله عليه وسلم said, 'If anyone performs ablution like that of mine and offers a two- Rak'a Salât (prayer) during which he does not think of anything else, then his past sins will be forgiven.'" ( Sahih Al-Bukhârî, Hadîth No. 161, Vol. 1 )
2/7. Chapter:
حديث عَبْدِ الله بْنِ زَيْدٍ سُئِلَ عَنْ وُضُوءِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ، فَدَعَا بِتَوْرٍ مِنْ مَاءٍ، فَتَوَضَّأَ لَهُمْ وُضُوءَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ، فَأَكْفَأَ عَلَى يَدِهِ مِنَ التَّوْرِ، فَغَسَلَ يَدَيْهِ ثَلَاثًا، ثُمَّ أَدْخَلَ يَدَهُ فِي التَّوْرِ، فَمَضْمَضَ وَاسْتَنْشَقَ، وَاسْتَنْثَرَ بِثَلَاثِ غَرَفَاتٍ، ثُمَّ أَدْخَلَ يَدَهُ فَغَسَلَ وَجْهَهُ ثَلَاثًا، ثُمَّ غَسَلَ يَدَيْهِ مَرَّتَيْنِ إِلَى الْمِرْفَقَيْنِ، ثُمَّ أَدْخَلَ يَدَهُ فَمَسَحَ رَأْسَهُ، ⦗٥٨⦘ فَأَقْبَلَ بِهِمَا وَأَدْبَرَ مَرَّةً وَاحِدَةً، ثُمَّ غَسَلَ رِجْلَيْهِ إِلَى الْكَعْبَينِ.
My father saw 'Amr bin Abî Hasan رضي الله عنه asking ‘Abdullâh bin Zaid رضي الله عنه about the ablution of the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم ‘Abdullâh bin Zaid رضي الله عنه asked for earthen-ware pot containing water and performed ablution like that of the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم in front of them.He poured water from the pot over his hand and washed his hands thrice and then he put his hands in the pot and (taking out water) rinsed his mouth and washed his nose by putting water in it and then blowing it out with three handfuls of water. Again he put his hand in the water and washed his face thrice and washed his forearms up to the elbows thrice; and then put his hands in the water and then passed them over his head by bringing them to the front and then to the rear of the head once, and then he washed his feet up to the ankles. ( Sahîh Al-Bukhâri, Hadîth No. 186, Vol. 1 )
2/8. Chapter:
حديث أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ عَنِ النَّبيِّ ﷺ أَنَّهُ قَالَ: مَنْ تَوَضَّأَ فَلْيَسْتَنْثِرْ، وَمَنِ اسْتَجْمَرَ فَلْيُوتِرْ.
The Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم said, “Whoever performs ablution should clean his nose with water by putting the water in it and then blowing it out, and whoever cleans his private parts with stones should do it with odd number of stones.” ( Sahîh Al-Bukhâri, Hadîth No. 162, Vol. 1 )
حديث أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ رضي الله عنها عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ: إِذَا اسْتَيْقَظَ أَحَدُكُمْ مِنْ مَنَامِهِ فَتَوَضَّأَ فَلْيَسْتَنْثِرَ ثَلَاثًا فَإِنَّ الشَّيْطَانَ يَبِيتُ عَلَى خَيْشُومِهِ.
The Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم said, “If anyone of you rouses from sleep and performs the ablution, he should wash his nose by putting water in it and then blowing it out thrice, because Satan has stayed in the upper part of his nose all the night.” [1] ( Sahîh Al-Bukhârî, Hadîth No. 516, Vol. 4)
[1] We should believe that Satan actually stays in the upper part of one's nose, though we cannot perceive how, for this is related to the unseen world of which we know nothing except what Allâh tells us through His Messenger ﷺ.
2/9. Chapter:
حديث عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ عَمْرٍو قَالَ تَخَلَّفَ عَنَّا النَّبِيُّ ﷺ فِي سَفْرَةٍ سَافَرْنَاهَا فَأَدْرَكَنَا، وَقَدْ أَرْهَقَتْنَا الصَّلَاةُ، وَنَحْنُ نَتَوَضًّأُ، فَجَعَلْنَا نَمْسَحُ عَلَى أَرْجُلِنَا، فَنَادَى بِأَعْلَى صَوْتِهِ: وَيْلٌ لِلأَعْقَابِ مِنَ النَّارِ مَرَّتَيْنِ أَوْ ثَلَاثًا.
Once the Prophet ﷺ remained behind us in a journey. He joined us while we were performing ablution for Salât (prayer) which was overdue. We were just passing wet hands over our feet (and not washing them properly) so the Prophet ﷺ addressed us in a loud voice and said twice or thrice: “Save your heels from the Fire.” ( Sahîh Al-Bukhârî, Hadîth No. 57, Vol. 1)
حديث أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ كَانَ يَمُرُّ وَالنَّاسُ يَتَوَضَّؤُونَ مِنَ الْمِطْهَرَةِ؛ فَقَالَ: أَسْبِغُوا الْوُضوءَ، فَإِنَّ أَبَا الْقَاسِمِ ﷺ قَالَ: وَيْلٌ لِلأَعْقَابِ مِنَ النَّارِ.
(I heard) Abû Huraira رضى الله عنه saying as he passed by us while the people were performing ablution from a utensil containing water, “Perform ablution perfectly and thoroughly, for Abûl-Qâsim (the Prophet ﷺ) said, ‘Save your heels from the (Hell) Fire.’” ( Sahîh Al-Bukhârî, Hadîth No. 166, Vol. 1)
2/12. Chapter:
حديث أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، قَالَ: إِنِّي سَمِعْتُ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ يَقُولُ إِنَّ أُمَّتِي يُدْعَوْنَ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ غُرًّا مُحَجَّلِينَ مِنْ آثَارٍ الْوُضُوءِ، فَمَنِ اسْتَطَاعَ مِنْكُمْ أَنْ يُطِيلَ غُرَّتَهُ فَلْيَفْعَلْ.
Once I went up the roof of the mosque, (along with) Abû Huraira رضى الله عنه. (He performed ablution and) said, “I heard the Prophet ﷺ saying, ‘On the Day of Resurrection, my followers will be called Al-Ghurr-ul-Muhajjalûn from the traces of ablution, and whoever can increase the area of his radiance [1] should do so (i.e. by performing ablution in the most perfect manner).’” ( Sahîh Al-Bukhârî, Hadîth No. 138, Vol. 1)
[1] The Prophet ﷺ did not increase the area that what is washed of the body-parts while doing the ablution as Allâh ordered to be washed, in the Qur’ân.
2/15. Chapter:
حديث أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ رضي الله عنها، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ: لَوْلَا أَنْ أَشُقَّ عَلَى أُمَّتِي أَوْ عَلَى النَّاسِ لأَمَرْتُهُمْ بِالسِّوَاكِ مَعَ كُلِّ صَلَاةٍ.
Allâh’s Messenger ﷺ said, “If I had not found it hard for my followers or the people, I would have ordered them to clean their teeth with Siwâk for every Salât (prayer).” ( Sahîh Al-Bukhârî, Hadîth No. 12, Vol. 2)
حديث أَبِي مُوسى قَالَ: أَتَيْتُ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ فَوَجَدْتُهُ يَسْتَنُّ بِسِوَاكٍ بِيَدِهِ، يَقُولُ: أُعْ أُعْ وَالسِّوَاكُ فِي فِيهِ كَأَنَّهُ يَتَهَوَّعُ.
I came to the Prophet ﷺ and saw him carrying a Siwâk in his hand and cleaning his teeth, saying, “U‘ U‘,” as if he was retching while the Siwâk was in his mouth.” ( Sahîh Al-Bukhârî, Hadîth No. 245, Vol. 1)
