Chapter on What Has Been Reported Regarding the Virtue of Ablution and Prayer Thereafter
Hadith 595
عَنْ عُثْمَانَ بْنِ عَفَّانَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ: ((إِنَّ الْعَبْدَ إِذَا تَوَضَّأَ فَأَتَمَّ وَضُوءَهُ ثُمَّ دَخَلَ فِي صَلَاتِهِ فَأَتَّمَ صَلَاتَهُ خَرَجَ مِنْ صَلَاتِهِ كَمَا خَرَجَ مِنْ بَطْنِ أُمِّهِ مِنَ الذُّنُوبِ))
Sayyiduna Uthman (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Indeed, when a servant performs ablution and completes the ablution, then begins the prayer and performs the prayer completely, he becomes purified from his sins just as he was when he came out of his mother's womb."
Hadith 596
وَعَنْهُ أَيْضًا قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ: ((مَنْ تَوَضَّأَ فَأَحْسَنَ الْوُضُوءَ ثُمَّ دَخَلَ فَصَلَّى غُفِرَ لَهُ مَا بَيْنَهُ وَبَيْنَ الصَّلَاةِ الْأُخْرَى حَتَّى يُصَلِّيَهَا))
Sayyiduna Uthman (may Allah be pleased with him) also narrates that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Whoever performs ablution and performs it well, then begins the prayer and offers it, the sins committed between this prayer and the next prayer he offers are forgiven."
Hadith 597
عَنْ زَيْدِ بْنِ خَالِدٍ الْجُهَنِيِّ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: ((مَنْ تَوَضَّأَ فَأَحْسَنَ وَضُوءَهُ ثُمَّ صَلَّى رَكْعَتَيْنِ لَا يَسْهُو فِيهِمَا غُفِرَ اللَّهُ لَهُ مَا تَقَدَّمَ مِنْ ذَنْبِهِ))
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Zaid bin Khalid Al-Juhani, may Allah be pleased with him, that the Noble Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "Whoever performs ablution and performs it well, and then offers two units of prayer without forgetting, Allah Almighty will forgive his past sins."
Hadith 598
عَنْ عُقْبَةَ بْنِ عَامِرٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ نَحْوُهُ
Sayyiduna Uqbah bin Amir (may Allah be pleased with him) has also narrated a similar type of Hadith of the Prophet.
Hadith 599
وَعَنْهُ أَيْضًا قَالَ: كُنَّا نَخْدُمُ أَنْفُسَنَا وَكُنَّا نَتَدَاوَلُ رَعَايَةَ الْإِبِلِ بَيْنَنَا فَأَصَابَنِي رَعَايَةُ الْإِبِلِ فَرَوَّحْتُهَا بِعَشِيٍّ فَأَدْرَكْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَهُوَ قَائِمٌ يُحَدِّثُ النَّاسَ فَأَدْرَكْتُ مِنْ حَدِيثِهِ وَهُوَ يَقُولُ: ((مَا مِنْكُمْ مِنْ أَحَدٍ يَتَوَضَّأُ فَيُسْبِغُ الْوُضُوءَ ثُمَّ يَقُومُ فَيَرْكَعُ رَكْعَتَيْنِ يُقْبِلُ عَلَيْهِمَا بِقَلْبِهِ وَوَجْهِهِ إِلَّا وَجَبَتْ لَهُ الْجَنَّةُ وَغُفِرَ لَهُ)) قَالَ: فَقُلْتُ لَهُ: مَا أَجْوَدَ هَذَا! قَالَ: فَقَالَ قَائِلٌ بَيْنَ يَدَيَّ: الَّتِي كَانَتْ قَبْلَهَا يَا عُقْبَةُ أَجْوَدُ مِنْهَا، فَنَظَرْتُ فَإِذَا عُمَرُ بْنُ الْخَطَّابِ قَالَ: فَقُلْتُ: مَا هِيَ يَا أَبَا حَفْصٍ؟ قَالَ: إِنَّهُ قَالَ قَبْلَ أَنْ تَأْتِيَ: ((مَا مِنْكُمْ مِنْ أَحَدٍ يَتَوَضَّأُ فَيُسْبِغُ الْوُضُوءَ ثُمَّ يَقُولُ: أَشْهَدُ أَنْ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ وَحْدَهُ لَا شَرِيكَ لَهُ وَأَنَّ مُحَمَّدًا عَبْدُهُ وَرَسُولُهُ إِلَّا فُتِحَتْ لَهُ أَبْوَابُ الْجَنَّةِ الثَّمَانِيَةُ يَدْخُلُ مِنْ أَيِّهَا شَاءَ))
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Uqbah bin Amir (may Allah be pleased with him), he says: We used to serve the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) ourselves and would take turns to graze the camels. One day it was my turn. When I returned the camels in the evening, I found the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) standing and speaking to the people. I heard him say: “Whoever among you performs ablution and completes the ablution, then stands and offers two rak‘ahs in such a way that he turns his heart and face towards Allah, Paradise becomes obligatory for him and he is forgiven.” Hearing this, I said: “How excellent is this!” But someone in front of me said: “Uqbah! The statement that was said before this was even more excellent.” When I looked at that person, it was Sayyiduna Umar bin Khattab (may Allah be pleased with him). I said: “Abu Hafs! What was that statement?” He said: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said before you came: “Whoever among you performs ablution and completes the ablution, then recites this supplication: «أَشْہَدُ أَنْ لَا إِلٰہَ إِلَّا اللّٰہُ وَحْدَہُ لَا شَرِيْكَ لَہُ وَأَنَّ مُحَمَّدًا عَبْدُہُ وَرَسُوْلُہُ» … (I bear witness that there is no deity worthy of worship except Allah, He is alone, He has no partner, and Muhammad [peace and blessings be upon him] is His servant and Messenger). For such a person, all eight gates of Paradise are opened, and he may enter through whichever of them he wishes.”
Hadith 600
عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ عَبَسَةَ السُّلَمِيِّ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ: ((أَيُّمَا رَجُلٍ قَامَ إِلَى وَضُوءٍ يُرِيدُ الصَّلَاةَ فَأَحْصَى الْوَضُوءَ إِلَى أَمَاكِنِهِ سَلِمَ مِنْ كُلِّ ذَنْبٍ أَوْ خَطِيئَةٍ لَهُ، فَإِنْ قَامَ إِلَى الصَّلَاةِ رَفَعَهُ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ بِهَا دَرَجَةً وَإِنْ قَعَدَ قَعَدَ سَالِمًا))
Sayyiduna Amr bin Abasah Salami (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "When a person stands for ablution with the intention of prayer and lets the water of ablution reach its prescribed places, he becomes purified from his sins or mistakes. Then, if he stands for prayer, Allah Almighty raises his rank, and if he sits down, he sits down purified from sins."
Hadith 601
عَنْ شَهْرِ بْنِ حَوْشَبٍ عَنْ أَبِي أُمَامَةَ الْحِمْصِيِّ صَاحِبِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: ((الْوُضُوءُ يُكَفِّرُ مَا قَبْلَهُ ثُمَّ تَصِيرُ الصَّلَاةُ نَافِلَةً))، فَقِيلَ لَهُ: أَسَمِعْتَهَا مِنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ؟ قَالَ: نَعَمْ غَيْرَ مَرَّةٍ وَلَا مَرْتَيْنِ وَلَا ثَلَاثٍ وَلَا أَرْبَعٍ وَلَا خَمْسٍ
Sayyiduna Abu Umamah Himsi (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Wudu erases previous sins, then prayer is added." Someone asked: "Did you hear this hadith from the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him)?" He replied: "Yes, not just once, twice, three, four, or five times (but more than that)."
Hadith 602
عَنْ أَبِي غَالِبٍ الرَّاسِبِيِّ أَنَّهُ لَقِيَ أَبَا أُمَامَةَ بِحِمْصَ فَسَأَلَهُ عَنْ أَشْيَاءَ حَدَّثَهُمْ أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَهُوَ يَقُولُ: ((مَا مِنْ عَبْدٍ مُسْلِمٍ يَسْمَعُ أَذَانَ صَلَاةٍ فَقَامَ إِلَى وَضُوئِهِ إِلَّا غُفِرَ لَهُ بِأَوَّلِ قَطْرَةٍ تُصِيبُ كَفَّهُ مِنْ ذَلِكَ الْمَاءِ فَبِعَدَدِ ذَلِكَ الْقَطْرِ حَتَّى يَفْرُغَ مِنَ الْوُضُوءِ إِلَّا غُفِرَ لَهُ مَا سَلَفَ مِنْ ذُنُوبِهِ وَقَامَ إِلَى صَلَاتِهِ وَهِيَ نَافِلَةٌ)) قَالَ أَبُو غَالِبٍ: قُلْتُ لِأَبِي أُمَامَةَ: أَنْتَ سَمِعْتَ هَذَا مِنَ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ؟ قَالَ: إِي وَالَّذِي بَعَثَهُ بِالْحَقِّ بَشِيرًا وَنَذِيرًا غَيْرَ مَرَّةٍ وَلَا مَرْتَيْنِ وَلَا ثَلَاثٍ وَلَا أَرْبَعٍ وَلَا خَمْسٍ وَلَا سِتٍّ وَلَا سَبْعٍ وَلَا ثَمَانِيٍ وَلَا تِسْعٍ وَلَا عَشْرٍ وَعَشْرٍ وَصَفَّقَ بِيَدَيْهِ
Abu Ghalib Rasbi, may Allah have mercy on him, says: I met Sayyiduna Abu Umamah Hamsi, may Allah be pleased with him, and asked him about some matters. He narrated that the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "When a person stands up to perform ablution upon hearing the call to prayer, with the very first drop of water that touches his palm, he is forgiven, and this continues with every drop, until when he completes his ablution, his previous sins have been forgiven and the prayer he performs is increased in reward."
Abu Ghalib, may Allah have mercy on him, says: I said to Sayyiduna Abu Umamah, may Allah be pleased with him: "Did you hear this hadith from the Noble Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him?" He said: "Why not, by the One Who sent him, peace and blessings be upon him, with the truth as a bearer of glad tidings and a warner! Not once, but two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten times, and not just ten times," then he clapped his hands to indicate the number.

Hadith 603
وَعَنْهُ أَيْضًا قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ أَبَا أُمَامَةَ يَقُولُ: إِذَا وَضَعْتَ الطَّهُورَ مَوَاضِعَهُ قَعَدْتَّ مَغْفُورًا لَكَ، فَإِنْ قَامَ يُصَلِّي كَانَتْ لَهُ فَضِيلَةً وَأَجْرًا، وَإِنْ قَعَدَ قَعَدَ مَغْفُورًا لَهُ، فَقَالَ لَهُ رَجُلٌ: يَا أَبَا أُمَامَةَ! أَرَأَيْتَ إِنْ قَامَ فَصَلَّى تَكُونُ لَهُ نَافِلَةً؟ قَالَ: لَا، إِنَّمَا النَّافِلَةُ لِلنَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ كَيْفَ تَكُونُ لَهُ نَافِلَةً وَهُوَ يَسْعَى فِي الذُّنُوبِ وَالْخَطَايَا، تَكُونُ لَهُ فَضِيلَةً وَأَجْرًا
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Umamah (may Allah be pleased with him), he says: "When you use the water of ablution in its proper place, you will sit forgiven; then if a person stands and performs prayer, there is virtue and reward for him in it." A man said to him: "O Abu Umamah! What is your opinion regarding this, that if such a person stands and performs prayer, will his prayer be considered extra?" He said: "No, this being extra was for the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). For an ordinary servant, this prayer will be a means of virtue and reward."
Hadith 604
عَنْ أَبِي مُسْلِمٍ قَالَ: دَخَلْتُ عَلَى أَبِي أُمَامَةَ وَهُوَ يَتَفَلَّلُ فِي الْمَسْجِدِ وَيَدْفَنُ الْقَمْلَ فِي الْحَصَى، فَقُلْتُ لَهُ: يَا أَبَا أُمَامَةَ! إِنَّ رَجُلًا حَدَّثَنِي عَنْكَ أَنَّكَ قُلْتَ: سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ: ((مَنْ تَوَضَّأَ فَأَسْبَغَ الْوُضُوءَ فَغَسَلَ يَدَيْهِ وَوَجْهَهُ وَمَسَحَ عَلَى رَأْسِهِ وَأُذُنَيْهِ ثُمَّ قَامَ إِلَى الصَّلَاةِ الْمَفْرُوضَةِ غُفِرَ لَهُ فِي ذَلِكَ الْيَوْمِ مَا مَشَتْ إِلَيْهِ رِجْلُهُ وَقَضَتْ عَلَيْهِ يَدَاهُ وَسَمِعَتْ إِلَيْهِ أُذُنَاهُ وَنَظَرَتْ إِلَيْهِ عَيْنَاهُ وَحَدَّثَ بِهِ نَفْسُهُ مِنْ سُوءٍ)) قَالَ: وَاللَّهِ! لَقَدْ سَمِعْتُهُ مِنْ نَبِيِّ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ مَا لَا أُحْصِيهِ
Abu Muslim (may Allah have mercy on him) says: I went to Sayyiduna Abu Umamah (may Allah be pleased with him), while he was sitting in the mosque searching for lice and pressing them into the pebbles. I said: "O Abu Umamah! Indeed, a man has narrated this hadith from you: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: 'Whoever performs ablution and perfects his ablution, then washes his hands, washes his face, wipes his head and ears, and then stands for the obligatory prayer, then the sins of that day will be forgiven for him—those to which his feet walked, those about which his hands decided, those which his ears heard, his eyes saw, and his soul spoke evil about.'" He said: "By Allah! I have heard this hadith countless times from the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him)."
Hadith 605
عَنْ سُفْيَانَ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ عَنْ عَاصِمِ بْنِ سُفْيَانَ الثَّقَفِيِّ أَنَّهُمْ غَزَوْا غَزْوَةَ السَّلَاسِلِ فَفَاتَهُمُ الْغَزْوُ فَرَابَطُوا ثُمَّ رَجَعُوا إِلَى مُعَاوِيَةَ وَعِنْدَهُ أَبُو أَيُّوبَ وَعُقْبَةُ بْنُ عَامِرٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُمْ فَقَالَ عَاصِمٌ: يَا أَبَا أَيُّوبَ! فَاتَنَا الْغَزْوُ الْعَامَ وَقَدْ أُخْبِرْنَا أَنَّ مَنْ صَلَّى فِي الْمَسْجِدِ (وَفِي رِوَايَةٍ: فِي الْمَسَاجِدِ الْأَرْبَعَةِ) غُفِرَ لَهُ ذَنْبُهُ، فَقَالَ: ابْنَ أَخِي! أَدُلُّكَ عَلَى أَيْسَرَ مِنْ ذَلِكَ؟ إِنِّي سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ: ((مَنْ تَوَضَّأَ كَمَا أُمِرَ وَصَلَّى كَمَا أُمِرَ غُفِرَ لَهُ مَا تَقَدَّمَ مِنْ عَمَلٍ)) أَكَذَاكَ يَا عُقْبَةُ؟ قَالَ: نَعَمْ
Asim bin Sufyan Thaqafi, may Allah have mercy on him, says: We went for the expedition of Salasil, but the expedition did not take place, so they kept watch on the frontier and then returned to Sayyiduna Muawiyah, may Allah be pleased with him, while Sayyiduna Abu Ayyub, may Allah be pleased with him, and Sayyiduna Uqbah bin Amir, may Allah be pleased with him, were also sitting with him. Asim said: "O Abu Ayyub! This year we missed out on jihad, while we have been told that whoever prays in four mosques, his sins will be forgiven." He said: "Nephew! Shall I not tell you an easier deed than this? Indeed, I heard the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, say: 'Whoever performs ablution as he has been commanded, and prays as he has been commanded to pray, his previous sins will be forgiven.'" Uqbah! Is this not the same hadith? He said: "Yes, indeed."
Hadith 606
عَنْ أَبِي الدَّرْدَاءِ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ: يَا أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ! إِنِّي سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ: ((مَنْ تَوَضَّأَ فَأَسْبَغَ الْوُضُوءَ ثُمَّ صَلَّى رَكْعَتَيْنِ أَتَمَّهُمَا أَعْطَاهُ اللَّهُ مَا سَأَلَ مُعَجِّلًا أَوْ مُؤَخَّرًا))
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Darda’ (may Allah be pleased with him), he says: “O people! Indeed, I heard the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) say: ‘Whoever performs ablution and perfects the ablution, then prays two units of prayer completely, whatever he asks Allah Almighty for, He will grant it to him sooner or later.’”
Hadith 607
حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ حَدَّثَنِي أَبِي ثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْمَلِكِ حَدَّثَنِي سَهْلُ بْنُ أَبِي صَدَقَةَ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنِي كَثِيرٌ أَبُو الْفَضْلِ الطُّفَاوِيُّ حَدَّثَنِي يُوسُفُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ سَلَامٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ: أَتَيْتُ أَبَا الدَّرْدَاءِ فِي مَرْضِهِ الَّذِي قُبِضَ فِيهِ فَقَالَ لِي: يَا ابْنَ أَخِي! مَا أَعْمَدَكَ إِلَى هَذَا الْبَلَدِ وَمَا جَاءَ بِكَ، قَالَ: قُلْتُ: لَا، إِلَّا صِلَةُ مَا كَانَ بَيْنَكَ وَبَيْنَ وَالِدِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ سَلَامٍ، فَقَالَ أَبُو الدَّرْدَاءِ: لَبِئْسَ سَاعَةُ الْكَذِبِ هَذِهِ، سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ: ((مَنْ تَوَضَّأَ فَأَحْسَنَ الْوُضُوءَ ثُمَّ قَامَ فَصَلَّى رَكْعَتَيْنِ أَوْ أَرْبَعًا (شَكَّ سَهْلٌ) يُحْسِنُ فِيهِمَا الذِّكْرَ وَالْخَشُوعَ ثُمَّ اسْتَغْفَرَ اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ غُفِرَ لَهُ))
Yusuf bin Abdullah bin Salam (may Allah have mercy on him) says: I went to Sayyiduna Abu Darda (may Allah be pleased with him) while he was suffering from the illness of death. He asked me: "Nephew! What made you intend to come to this city? What brought you here?" I said: "Nothing in particular, I have only come because of the relationship that existed between you and my father." Sayyiduna Abu Darda (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "This is a bad time to lie. I heard the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) say: 'Whoever performs ablution and performs it well, then stands and prays two or four rak'ahs, and in them remembers Allah well and shows humility, then asks Allah for forgiveness, he will be forgiven.'"
