'Ablutions (Wudu)'

Narrated Abu Huraira: Allah's Apostle said,
 "The prayer of a person
 who does ,Hadath (passes, urine, stool or wind)
 is not accepted till he performs (repeats) the ablution.
" A person from Hadaramout asked Abu Huraira, "What is 'Hadath'?"
 Abu Huraira replied, " 'Hadath' means the passing of wind from the anus."  


 Narrated Nu'am Al-Mujmir: Once I went up the roof of the mosque, along with Abu Huraira. He perform ablution and said, "I heard the Prophet saying, "On the Day of Resurrection, my followers
 will be called "Al-Ghurr-ul-Muhajjalun" from the trace of ablution and 
whoever can increase the area
 of his radiance should do so (i.e. by performing ablution regularly).' "  



Narrated Kuraib: Ibn 'Abbas said, "The Prophet slept till he snored and then 
prayed (or probably lay till his breath sounds were heard and then got up 
and prayed)." Ibn 'Abbas added: "I stayed overnight in the house of my
 aunt, Maimuna, the Prophet slept for a part of the night,
 (See Fateh-al-Bari page 249, Vol. 1), and late in the night,
 he got up and performed ablution from a hanging water skin, 
a light (perfect) ablution and stood up for the prayer. I, too,
 performed a similar ablution, then I went and stood on his left.
 He drew me to his right and prayed as much as Allah wished, and again
 lay and slept till his breath sounds were heard. Later on the Mua'dhdhin
 (callmaker for the prayer) came to him and informed him that it was time for
 Prayer. The Prophet went with him for the prayer without performing 
a new ablution." (Sufyan said to 'Amr that some people said, "The eyes of Allah's 
Apostle sleep but his heart does not sleep." 'Amr replied, "I heard 'Ubaid bin 'Umar 
saying that the dreams of Prophets were Divine Inspiration, and then he recited the
 verse: 'I (Abraham) see in a dream, (O my son) that I offer you in
 sacrifice (to Allah)." (37.102) (See Hadith No. 183)  


 Narrated Usama bin Zaid: Allah's Apostle proceeded from 'Arafat till when
 he reached the mountain pass, he dismounted, urinated and then performed
 ablution but not a perfect one. I said to him, ("Is it the time for) the prayer,
 O Allah's Apostle?" He said, "The (place of) prayer is ahead of you." He rode
 till when he reached Al-Muzdalifa, he dismounted and performed ablution 
and a perfect one, The (call for) Iqama was pronounced and he led the Maghrib
 prayer. Then everybody made his camel kneel down at its place. Then the Iqama
 was pronounced for the 'Isha' prayer which the Prophet led and no prayer was
 offered


Narrated Ibn 'Abbas: The Prophet said, "If anyone of you on having sexual relations with his wife said (and he must say it before starting) 'In the name of Allah. O Allah! Protect us from Satan and also protect what you bestow upon us (i.e. the coming offspring) from Satan, and if it is destined that they should have a child then, Satan will never be able to harm that offspring."  


 Narrated Anas: Whenever the Prophet went to answer the call of nature, he used to say, "Allah-umma inni a'udhu bika minal khubuthi wal khaba'ith i.e. O Allah, I seek Refuge with You from all offensive and wicked things (evil deeds and evil spirits)."  


 Narrated Ibn 'Abbas: Once the Prophet entered a lavatory and I placed water for his ablution. He asked, "Who placed it?" He was informed accordingly and so he said, "O Allah! Make him (Ibn 'Abbas) a learned scholar in religion (Islam)."  


 Narrated Abu Aiyub Al-Ansari: Allah's Apostle said, "If anyone of you goes to an open space for answering the call of nature he should neither face nor turn his back towards the Qibla; he should either face the east or the west."  




 Narrated 'Abdullah bin 'Umar: People say, "Whenever you sit for answering the call of nature, you should not face the Qibla or Bait-ulMaqdis (Jerusalem)." I told them. "Once I went up the roof of our house and I saw Allah's Apostle answering the call of nature while sitting on two bricks facing Bait-ul-Maqdis (Jerusalem) (but there was a screen covering him. ' (FatehAl-Bari, Page 258, Vol. 1).  
 in between the two . prayers ('Isha' and Maghrib).  




Narrated 'Ata' bin Yasar: Ibn 'Abbas performed ablution and washed
 his face (in the following way): He ladled out a handful of water, 
rinsed his mouth and washed his nose with it by putting in water
 and then blowing it out. He then, took another handful (of water) 
and did like this (gesturing) joining both hands, and washed his face, 
took another handful of water and washed his right forearm. He again
 took another handful of water and washed his left forearm, and passed
 wet hands over his head and took another handful of water and poured
 it over his right foot (up to his ankles) and washed it thoroughly and
 similarly took another handful of water and washed thoroughly his left
 foot (up to the ankles) and said, "I saw Allah's Apostle performing
 ablution in this way."
