Hadith 135
وَقَوْلِ اللَّهِ تَعَالَى : {إِذَا قُمْتُمْ إِلَى الصَّلاَةِ فَاغْسِلُوا وُجُوهَكُمْ وَأَيْدِيَكُمْ إِلَى الْمَرَافِقِ وَامْسَحُوا بِرُءُوسِكُمْ وَأَرْجُلَكُمْ إِلَى الْكَعْبَيْنِ}
Allah, the Exalted, has said: "O you who believe! When you stand for prayer, then (while performing ablution) wash your faces and your hands up to the elbows, and wipe your heads, and wash your feet up to the ankles."
قَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ وَبَيَّنَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَنَّ فَرْضَ الْوُضُوءِ مَرَّةً مَرَّةً ، وَتَوَضَّأَ أَيْضًا مَرَّتَيْنِ وَثَلاَثًا ، وَلَمْ يَزِدْ عَلَى ثَلاَثٍ ، وَكَرِهَ أَهْلُ الْعِلْمِ الإِسْرَافَ فِيهِ وَأَنْ يُجَاوِزُوا فِعْلَ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ.
Imam Bukhari (may Allah have mercy on him) says that the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said that in ablution (wudu), washing each limb once is obligatory, and he (peace be upon him) also performed ablution by washing (the limbs) twice and also three times. However, he did not wash more than three times. And the scholars have considered it disliked (makruh) to be excessive in using water during ablution, lest people go beyond the action of the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him).
حَدَّثَنَا إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ الْحَنْظَلِيُّ ، قَالَ : أَخْبَرَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ ، قَالَ : أَخْبَرَنَا مَعْمَرٌ ، عَنْ هَمَّامِ بْنِ مُنَبِّهٍ ، أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ ، يَقُولُ : قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " لَا تُقْبَلُ صَلَاةُ مَنْ أَحْدَثَ حَتَّى يَتَوَضَّأَ " قَالَ رَجُلٌ مِنْ حَضْرَمَوْتَ : مَا الْحَدَثُ يَا أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ ؟ قَالَ : فُسَاءٌ أَوْ ضُرَاطٌ .
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 the ablution." A person from Hadaramout asked Abu Huraira, "What is 'Hadath'?" Abu Huraira replied, " 'Hadath' means the passing of wind."
