Commentary: ➊
In light of this hadith, some scholars have declared reciting "Bismillah" at the beginning of ablution (wudu) to be obligatory, while other scholars have considered it to be a Sunnah.
According to them, the meaning of "no ablution" is that "the ablution is not complete as it ought to be," but this interpretation is without evidence.
➋
If "Bismillah" is forgotten and remembered during the course of ablution (wudu), then it should be recited immediately; however, there is no need to repeat the ablution, because forgetfulness is excused.
