Hazrat Abdullah says that performing ablution after a bad deed is more beloved to me than performing ablution after eating good food.

Hazrat Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) said: How strange it is that a person performs ablution after eating good food, but does not perform ablution after saying something bad.

Once, an Ansari elder passed by some people and said to them, "Perform ablution again, because what you have said is worse than impurity."

Muhammad says that I asked Hazrat Ubaidah, "Due to which actions should ablution be repeated?" He replied, "Due to hadath (minor impurity) and causing harm to a Muslim."

Hazrat Harith says that I was holding Ibrahim's hand when I mentioned a man and backbit him. He said to me, "Go and perform ablution again, because the predecessors used to consider this the worst of things."

Once two men asked Hazrat Ata that a man passed by us and we called him effeminate. Hazrat Ata asked, did you say this before performing the prayer or after? They replied, we said it before the prayer. He said, both of you perform ablution and repeat the prayer because your prayer was not valid.

Hazrat Abu Ishaq narrates that once a verse of poetry containing satire slipped from the mouth of Hazrat Abu Salih, so he asked for water and rinsed his mouth.

Hazrat Ja'far bin Burqan says that I asked Hazrat Zuhri whether there is any speech or poetry, etc., that breaks wudu. He replied, "No."

Hazrat Abu Alia says that wudu is not broken by any speech, abuse, or idle talk.
