Ablution (Wudu)

Narrated ‘Ali (rad) regarding performance of Wudu:

The Prophet (ﷺ) rinsed his mouth and sniffed and blew (his nose) with water three times. He sniffed up and blew his nose with the same hand from which he took the water. [Reported by Abu Da’ud and An-Nasa’i]

وَعَنْ عَلِيٍّ ‏- رضى الله عنه ‏- ‏-فِي صِفَةِ اَلْوُضُوءِ‏- { ثُمَّ تَمَضْمَضَ ‏- صلى الله عليه وسلم ‏-وَاسْتَنْثَرَ ثَلَاثًا, يُمَضْمِضُ وَيَنْثِرُ مِنْ اَلْكَفِّ اَلَّذِي يَأْخُذُ مِنْهُ اَلْمَاءَ } أَخْرَجَهُ أَبُو دَاوُدَ وَالنَّسَائِيّ ُ [1]‏ .‏

Narrated ‘Abdullah bin Zaid (rad) regarding Wudu:

The Prophet (ﷺ) put his hand (in the utensil) rinsed (his mouth) and sniffed up and blew (his nose) from one scoop (of water). He did that three times. [Agreed upon].

وَعَنْ عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ بْنِ زَيْدٍ ‏- رضى الله عنه ‏- ‏-فِي صِفَةِ اَلْوُضُوءِ‏- { ثُمَّ أَدْخَلَ ‏- صلى الله عليه وسلم ‏-يَدَهُ, فَمَضْمَضَ وَاسْتَنْشَقَ مِنْ كَفٍّ وَاحِدَةٍ, يَفْعَلُ ذَلِكَ ثَلَاثًا } مُتَّفَقٌ عَلَيْه ِ [1]‏ .‏

Narrated Anas (rad):

The Prophet (ﷺ) saw a man on whose foot appeared a portion like the size of a nail which was not touched by water. He then said, “Go back and perform your Wudu properly.” [Reported by Abu Da’ud and An-Nasa’i].

وَعَنْ أَنَسٍ ‏- رضى الله عنه ‏- قَالَ: { رَأَى اَلنَّبِيُّ ‏- صلى الله عليه وسلم ‏-رَجُلًا, وَفِي قَدَمِهِ مِثْلُ اَلظُّفْرِ لَمْ يُصِبْهُ اَلْمَاءُ.‏ فَقَالَ:

اِرْجِعْ فَأَحْسِنْ وُضُوءَكَ

} أَخْرَجَهُ أَبُو دَاوُدَ, وَالنَّسَائِيّ ُ [1]‏ .‏

Narrated Anas (rad):

Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) used only one Mudd of water for ablution and one Sa’ to five Mudd of water for his bath [ Agreed upon].

وَعَنْهُ قَالَ: { كَانَ رَسُولُ اَللَّهِ ‏- صلى الله عليه وسلم ‏-يَتَوَضَّأُ بِالْمُدِّ, وَيَغْتَسِلُ بِالصَّاعِ إِلَى خَمْسَةِ أَمْدَادٍ } مُتَّفَقٌ عَلَيْه ِ [1]‏ .‏

Narrated ‘Umar (rad):

Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) said: “If one after performing ablution completely recites the following supplication: (Ash-hadu an la ilaha ill-Allahu wahdahu la sharika lahu, wa ash hadu anna Muhammadan ‘abduhu wa Rasuluhu) ‘I testify that there is no one worthy of worship but Allah, He is Alone and has no partner and Muhammad (ﷺ) is his slave and Messenger’, all the eight gates of Paradise will be opened for him and he may enter through any gate he wishes”.

وَعَنْ عُمَرَ ‏- رضى الله عنه ‏- قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اَللَّهِ ‏- صلى الله عليه وسلم ‏-{ مَا مِنْكُمْ مِنْ أَحَدٍ يَتَوَضَّأُ, فَيُسْبِغُ اَلْوُضُوءَ, ثُمَّ يَقُولُ: أَشْهَدُ أَنْ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اَللَّهُ وَحْدَهُ لَا شَرِيكَ لَهُ, وَأَشْهَدُ أَنَّ مُحَمَّدًا عَبْدُهُ وَرَسُولُهُ, إِلَّا فُتِحَتْ لَهُ أَبْوَابُ اَلْجَنَّةِ" } أَخْرَجَهُ مُسْلِم ٌ [1]‏ .‏

Reported by Muslim and At-Tirmidhi who added the following words to the supplication:

(Allahumma aj’alni minat-tawwabina waj’alni minAl-mutatahhirina) “Oh Allah! Include me among those who repent and those who keep themselves pure”.

وَاَلتِّرْمِذِيُّ, وَزَادَ: { اَللَّهُمَّ اِجْعَلْنِي مِنْ اَلتَّوَّابِينَ, وَاجْعَلْنِي مِنْ اَلْمُتَطَهِّرِينَ } [1]‏ .‏
