Hadith 680
It is narrated from Ikrimah that Sayyiduna Sa’d bin Abi Waqqas (may Allah be pleased with him) used to perform all five prayers with one ablution, but Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) would perform ablution for every prayer, and he recited this verse: «إِذَا قُمْتُمْ إِلَى الصَّلَاةِ فَاغْسِلُوا وُجُوهَكُمْ وَأَيْدِيَكُمْ» [5-المائدة:6] "When you stand for prayer, wash your faces and hands."
Hadith 681
Ubaidullah, the son of Abdullah bin Umar (may Allah be pleased with them), said: I wondered about Abdullah bin Umar’s (may Allah be pleased with them) opinion regarding performing ablution for every prayer, whether he was in a state of purity or not—why did he do so? He said: Asma bint Zaid bin Al-Khattab narrated to him that Abdullah bin Hanzalah bin Abi Amir narrated to her that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) ordered them to perform ablution for every prayer, whether they were already pure or not. Then, when this became difficult for them, he ordered them to use the miswak for every prayer. And Abdullah bin Umar (may Allah be pleased with them) believed that he had the strength to perform ablution for every prayer, so he never abandoned ablution for any prayer.

أَخْبَرَنَا
عُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مُوسَى، عَنْ
سُفْيَانَ، عَنْ
عَلْقَمَةَ بْنِ مَرْثَدٍ، عَنْ
ابْنِ بُرَيْدَةَ، عَنْ
أَبِيهِ، قَالَ: كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ
"يَتَوَضَّأُ لِكُلِّ صَلَاةٍ، حَتَّى كَانَ يَوْمُ فَتْحِ مَكَّةَ، صَلَّى الصَّلَوَاتِ بِوُضُوءٍ وَاحِدٍ، وَمَسَحَ عَلَى خُفَّيْهِ"، فَقَالَ لَهُ عُمَرُ: رَأَيْتُكَ صَنَعْتَ شَيْئًا لَمْ تَكُنْ تَصْنَعُهُ ؟، قَالَ: "إِنِّي عَمْدًا صَنَعْتُ يَا عُمَرُ"، قَالَ أَبُو مُحَمَّد: فَدَلَّ فِعْلُ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَنَّ مَعْنَى قَوْلِ اللَّهِ تَعَالَى: إِذَا قُمْتُمْ إِلَى الصَّلاةِ فَاغْسِلُوا وُجُوهَكُمْ سورة المائدة آية 6، لِكُلِّ مُحْدِثٍ، لَيْسَ لِلطَّاهِرِ، وَمِنْهُ قَوْلُ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: "لَا وُضُوءَ إِلَّا مِنْ حَدَثٍ"، وَاللَّهُ أَعْلَمُ.
Ibn Buraidah narrated from his father, Sayyiduna Buraidah (may Allah be pleased with him), that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) used to perform ablution for every prayer, until when Makkah was conquered, he (peace be upon him) performed all the prayers with one ablution, and wiped over his leather socks. Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) said: I have seen you do something which you never used to do before? He (peace be upon him) replied: I have done this intentionally.
Abu Muhammad Imam Darimi (may Allah have mercy on him) said: Thus, the action of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) indicates that the meaning of this verse «﴿إِذَا قُمْتُمْ إِلَى الصَّلَاةِ﴾» [مائده: 6/5] is that ablution is obligatory for every prayer upon one who is in a state of impurity, and not for one who is already in a state of ablution. And of the same kind is the saying of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him): “Ablution is only due to impurity.” And Allah knows best.
