| Bismillah Walhamdulillah Was Salaatu Was Salaam 'ala Rasulillah. As-Salaam Alaikum Wa-Rahmatullahi Wa-Barakatuhu The Definition of Wudoo
Wudoo in the Arabic Language:- Wudoo is the action, and wadoo the water used - and it is also a verbal noun; or they are two forms of the same word, both meaning the verbal-noun and maybe both referring also to the water used.
Wudoo in the Shareeah:- Wudoo is using clean and cleansing (Tuhoor) water upon certain body parts as Allaah taala has prescribed and explained.
The Prescription of Wudoo in The Kitaab And Sunnah:-
Allaah says:- O Ye who believe! When ye prepare for prayer, wash your faces, and your hands (and arms) to the elbows; rub your heads (with water); and (wash) your feet to the ankles . [Quran ~Soorat-ul-Maaidah, 5:7]
1. Abu Hurairah (radhiAllaahuanhu) said:-
Rasoolullah (sallallaahu alaihi wa sallam) said:- The Prayer of anyone of you breaching purification is not accepted unless he makes wudoo.
[Al-Bukhaaree, (Fath ul-Baaree, 1/206), Muslim (no.225) and others].
2. Ibn Umar (radhiAllaahu anhumaa) said:-
Indeed I heard Rasoolullah (sallallaahu 'alaihi wa sallam) say:-
Allaah does not accept Prayer without purification, nor Sadaqah from illegally attained wealth.
[Muslim (1/160) and others].
3. Ibn Abbaas (radhiAllaahu anhumaa) said:-
Rasolullah (sallallaahu alaihi wa sallam) said:- Verily I have been ordered to make wudoo when I stand for Prayer.
[Source:-Saheeh. Reported by Abu Dawood (no.3760); at-Tirmidhee (no.1848), and he declared it to be 'hasan-saheeh' : an-Nasaa.ee (1/73). And Shaikh al-Albaanee declares it to be 'saheeh' ('Saheeh ul-Jaami', no.2333)].
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). [Source:-Reported by Muslim (1/151) and others].
6. Abu Hurairah (radhiAllaahuanhu) said:- 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. [Source:-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. [Source:-Reported by Ahmad (5/252) and is hasan].
9. 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.
[Source:-Reported by Muslim (3/133) and others].
10.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.
[Source:-Reported by Muslim, 3/113].
11. 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. [Source:-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].
12 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. [Source:-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)].
13. Zaid ibn Khaalid al Juhanee (radhiAllaahu' anhu)said:- 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)].
14 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)].
15. 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].
16 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.
[Source:-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]
17. 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)].
