Similarly, if a person did not perform wudu' in his home, the apparent meaning of the hadith is that he does not obtain the reward, because if he leaves his home in a state of purity, that is different from if he leaves his home in a state of impurity. Yes. But what if he performed wudu' in his home and went to Quba', and when he reached the mosque he found that he needed to urinate, so he urinated and performed wudu'? Does this invalidate his reward or not? It does not invalidate it, because this was due to an excuse. Yes.
Whoever purifies himself in his house, then comes to the Quba’ Mosque and offers one prayer therein, will have a reward like that for ‘Umrah.
