The Excellence of Wudoo

The Excellence of Wudoo


5. Abu Hurairah (radhiAllaahuanhu) said:

Rasoolullah (sallallaahu'alaihi wa sallam) said:

Shall I not guide you to that by which Allaah wipes away the sins and raises the ranks?

They said: Certainly O Messenger of Allaah!

He said Completing the wudoo when it is a hardship, and many steps to the mosques and waiting for the [next] Prayer after the Prayer, that is ar-Ribaat' (defending the frontiers), that is ar-Ribaat that is ar-Ribaat). [Reported by Muslim (1/151) and others].

6. Abu Hurairah (radhiAllaahuanhu) reports that Rasoolullah (sallallaahu alaihi wa sallam) said:

When the Muslim (or Believing) servant makes wudoo and washes his face then the sin of everything he looked at with his eye comes away with the water, or with the last drop of the water,

and when he washes his hands then the sin of everything he stretched out his hands to comes away with the water, or with the last drop of the water.

And when he washes his feet every sin which his feet walked towards comes away with the water or with the last drop of the water - so that he leaves clean (clear/pure) from sins.

[Reported by Muslim (1/148) and others].

8. Abu Umaamah (radhiAllaahuanhu) said:

Rasoolullah (sallallaahu alaihi wa sallam) said:

When a Muslim makes wudoo the sins he has committed come away from his hearing and from his sight and from his hand and from his feet, so when he sits he sits down having been forgiven.

[Reported by Ahmad (5/252) and is hasan].


9. Abu Maalik al-Asharee (radhiAllaahu anhu) said:

Rasoolullah (sallallaahu alaihi wasallam) said:

Purification is half of Imaan. And al-hamdu lillaah fills the Scales.

And subhaanAllaah and al-hamdu lillaah fill whatever is between the heaven and the earth.

And Prayer is a light.

And Sadaqah is a clear proof.

And Sabr (patience) is a shining light.

And the Quran is a proof for or against you.

Every person starts the day dealing for his own soul so he either sets it free or destroys it.

[Reported by Muslim (1/140) and others].

10. Uthmaan (radhiAllaahu anhu) said:

Rasoolullah (sallallaahu alaihi wa sallam) said:

Whoever makes wudoo and makes it well, his sins come out from his body, even coming out from under his nails.

[Reported by Muslim (3/133) and others].




11.Uthmaan (radhiAllaahu anhu) said:

Rasoolullah (sallallaahu alaihi wa sallam) said: Whoever makes wudoo like this - then all of his previous sins are forgiven - and his Prayer and his walking to the mosque are above and beyond that.

[Reported by Muslim, 3/113].





12. Ibn Umar (radhiAllaahu anhumaa) said:

Rasoolullah (sallallaahu'alaihi wasallam) said:

When one of you makes wudoo and makes it well, then goes out to the mosque - having no purpose except Prayer - then his left foot continues to wipe away his evil deeds and his right foot continually writes for him good deeds until he enters the mosque.

And if the people knew what there was in the night prayer and Subh prayers - then they would come to them even if they had to crawl. [Reported by at-Tabraanee in 'al-Mu'jam ul-Kabeer'. And Ash-Shaikh al-Albaanee declares it to be saheeh (As-Saheehah, no.454). And its meaning is reported by al-Bukhaaree and Muslim from the narration of Abu Hurairah].

13. Abu Hurairah (radhiAllaahuanhu) said:

Rasoolullah (sallallaahu alaihi wa sallam) said:

Whoever makes wudoo and makes it well then goes out - and then finds that the people have finished the Prayer - then Allaah gives him the same reward as one who had prayed it along with the people without diminishing any of their reward.

[Reported by Abu Dawood (no.564) and an-Nasaa'ee (no.856) and others. Al-Albaanee declares it to be 'saheeh' (As-Saheehah, no.6039)].

14. Zaid ibn Khaalid al Juhanee (radhiAllaahu'anhu) relates that the Prophet (sallallaahu alaihi wa sallam) said

Whoever makes wudoo and makes it well, then prays two rakahs nafils (tahayatul wudoo) not letting his mind wander in them - then Allaah forgives him all of his previous sins.

[Reported by Abu Dawood (no.905) and others. Al-Albaanee declares it to be 'hasan' (As-Saheehah, no.6041)].

15. Uqbah ibn Aamir (radhiAllaahu anhu) said:

Rasoolullah (sallallaahu alaihi wa sallam) said

Whoever makes wudoo and makes it well, then prays two rakahs concentrating therein with his heart and his face - then Paradise is obligatory for him.

[Reported by an-Nasaa'ee. Al-Albaanee declares it to be 'saheeh' (As-Saheehah, no.6062)].

16. Uthmaan (radhiAllaahu anhu) said:

I heard Rasoolullah (sallallaahu 'alaihi wa sallam) say Whoever makes wudoo for Prayer and completes the wudoo - then walks to the obligatory Prayer and prays it with the people - or with the congregation - or in the mosque - then Allaah forgives his sins.

[Reported by Muslim (1/144) and others].

17. Ali (radhiAllaahu anhu) relates that Rasoolullah (sallallaahu alaihi wa sallam) said Completing the wudoo when it is a hardship, and walking to the mosque, and waiting for the next prayer after the previous one (greatly) washes away the sins.

[Reported by al-Haakim (1/132) who declared it to be saheeh to the standard of Muslim. And al-Haithumee said in 'Az-Zawaa-id': It is narrated by Abu Ya'laa and al-Bazzaar. And its narrators are up to the standard of Al-Bukharee]

18. Humraan ibn Abaan relates that Uthmaan asked for water to make wudoo - then he mentioned how the Prophet (sallallaahu alaihi wa sallam) made wudoo. Then he said: The Prophet (sallallaahu alaihi wa sallam) said at the end of the hadeeth Whoever makes wudoo in the same way that I have just made wudoo then stands up and prays two rakahs, not thinking of other things, then his previous sins are forgiven.

[Related by al-Bukhaaree (Fath ul-Baaree, 11/213) and Muslim (no.226) and an-Nasaa'ee ( 1/63)].
