Hadith 635
اُردوEn
عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيِّ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ: ((لَا وَضُوءَ لِمَنْ لَمْ يَذْكُرِ اسْمَ اللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ))
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Sa'id Khudri (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "The ablution of that person is not valid who does not recite «بِسْمِ اللّٰہِ» over it."
Brief Explanation
Benefits: … Ibn Humam Hanafi has declared this hadith to be hasan and, on this basis, has deemed reciting “Bismillah” at the beginning of ablution (wudu) to be obligatory. (Sharh Fath al-Qadir: 1/23) And Ibn Nujaym Hanafi has also called it hasan. (al-Bahr al-Ra’iq: 1/18)
