[Musnad al-Dārimī: 717 | Ṣaḥīḥ al-Bukhārī: 1/50]
Key Lessons Derived from the Hadith:
➊ It is correct to sprinkle water on one's lower garment (such as trousers, pants, or a shawl) after wudu.This helps remove any doubts a person may have about unintentional impurity.
➋ This practice prevents unnecessary Waswasah (doubts and whispers from Shayṭān) about whether any impurity remains on the clothes after relieving oneself.
