The Ruling on Two Hadiths Regarding Ablution
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
From a female listener: (A. M. Sh.), from the Syrian Arab Republic, a letter containing several questions, one of which says: I remember the meaning of a hadith from the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him):Sunan Abi Dawud 906Sahih (Al-Albani) Then he said: Sahih Muslim 226b Is this meaning correct? Is it reported from the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him)?
Answer:
Yes, both hadiths are authentic, both of them are authentic. One of them is:Sunan an-Nasa'i 151Sahih (Darussalam).
And the second is: meaning: the best of purification Sahih Muslim 226b is the meaning of: meaning: turn to the prayer with your heart and be present Sunan an-Nasa'i 2194Sahih (Darussalam).
So the first was narrated by 'Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) .. 'Uqbah ibn 'Amir from 'Umar, and the second was narrated by 'Uthman ibn 'Affan, may Allah be pleased with them all.
So the point is: that the Sunnah and what is prescribed for the believer when he performs ablution is to perfect the purification and take care of it as the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) did, and when he prays, to turn to his prayer with his heart and avoid whispers until he completes it, as the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) completed it. This great deed is among the causes of forgiveness and entering Paradise for the Muslim whom Allah has guided to sincerity and uprightness. Yes.
The presenter: May Allah reward you with good.
From a female listener: (A. M. Sh.), from the Syrian Arab Republic, a letter containing several questions, one of which says: I remember the meaning of a hadith from the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him):
Any one performs ablution and performs the ablution perfectly and then offers two rak’ahs of prayers concentrating on them with his heart and face but paradise will necessarily fall to his lot.
لا أحد يتوضأ، فيحسن الوضوء، ويصلي ركعتين يقبل بقلبه ووجهه؛ إلا وجبت له الجنةHe who performed ablution like this ablution of mine and offered two raka`ahs of prayer without allowing his thoughts to be distracted, all his previous sins would be expiated.
من توضأ نحو وضوئي هذا، ثم صلى ركعتين، لا يحدث فيهما نفسه؛ غفر له ما تقدم من ذنبهAnswer:
Yes, both hadiths are authentic, both of them are authentic. One of them is:
Whoever performs Wudu' and does it well, then prays two Rak'ahs in which his heart and face are focused, Paradise will be his.
من توضأ فأحسن الطهور، ثم صلى ركعتين يقبل عليهما بقلبه ووجهه، وجبت له الجنةAnd the second is:
That he (peace and blessings be upon him) performed ablution, then prayed two rak'ahs, and said (peace and blessings be upon him): Whoever performs ablution like my ablution
أنه ﷺ توضأ، ثم صلى ركعتين، وقال ﷺ: من توضأ نحو وضوئي هذاand offered two raka`ahs of prayer without allowing his thoughts to be distracted
ثم صلى ركعتين، لا يحدث فيهما نفسهturning to them with his heart and face
أقبل عليهما بقلبه ووجههhe will be forgiven his previous sins
غفر له ما تقدم من ذنبهSo the first was narrated by 'Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) .. 'Uqbah ibn 'Amir from 'Umar, and the second was narrated by 'Uthman ibn 'Affan, may Allah be pleased with them all.
So the point is: that the Sunnah and what is prescribed for the believer when he performs ablution is to perfect the purification and take care of it as the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) did, and when he prays, to turn to his prayer with his heart and avoid whispers until he completes it, as the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) completed it.
