´Abu Malik Al-Ash`ari narrated that the Messenger of Allah said:` “Al-Wudu is half of faith, and All praise is due to Allah (Al-Ḥamdulillāh) fills the Scale, and Glory is to Allah and all praise is to Allah (Subḥān Allāh wal-Ḥamdulillāh)’ fill” - or - “fills what is between the heavens and the earth, and Salat is light and charity is an evidence, and patience is an illumination, and the Quran is a proof for you or against you. And all people shall come to the morning selling their souls, either setting it free or destroying it.”

1؎: The scholars have mentioned several meanings for this; the best opinion, according to the author of Tuhfat al-Ahwadhi, is that here "iman" (faith) refers to «صلاة», just as in the statement of Allah Most High «وما كان الله ليضيع إيمانكم» (al-Baqarah: 143), «إيمان» refers to «صلاة», and for «صلاة», ablution (wudu) is a condition (in ablution, major ritual purity [taharah kubra] is also included, and in some narrations the word «الطہور» has also been mentioned).
2؎: Charity (sadaqah) is a proof of faith, because only one who has faith in Allah gives charity for Allah's sake.
3؎: That is, if one has acted upon the Qur'an, then the Qur'an will benefit him; otherwise, it will testify against him.

And ablution (wudu) is a condition for prayer. (Ritual purity of the greater kind [taharah kubra, i.e., ritual bath (ghusl)] is also included in ablution, and in some narrations, the word (al-tahur) has also been mentioned.)
2: Charity (sadaqah) is a proof of faith (iman), because only the one who has faith in Allah gives charity for Allah's sake.
3: That is, if one has acted upon the Qur'an, then the Qur'an will benefit him; otherwise, it will testify against him.

It is narrated on the authority of Jarir bin ''Abdullah that the Apostle of Allah (ﷺ) (may peace and blessings be upon him) asked him on the occasion of the Farewell Pilgrimage to make the people silent and then said: Do not return to unbelief after me by striking the necks of one another.
Shaykh Maulana Abdul Aziz Alvi
Hadith Commentary: Vocabulary of the Hadith: The Farewell Pilgrimage (Hajjat al-Wada‘) sermon in which the Prophet Muhammad (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) instructed the people regarding the fundamental matters of religion and emphasized conveying it to those who were absent, and by saying, "La‘allī lā arākum ba‘da ‘āmī hādhā" ("Perhaps I will not see you after this year"), he indicated that he might not see them after that year. It was called the Farewell (al-Wada‘). Both the fatha (zabar) and kasra (zeer) on the letter ḥā’ of "ḥajjah" are correct. This was his last pilgrimage, and soon after it, he departed from this world. Istansit: Tell the people, Be silent, Make them quiet. Kuffar: Plural of "kafir" (disbeliever).
