Hazrat Abu Zar’ah narrates that I entered Marwan’s house with Hazrat Abu Hurairah. Hazrat Abu Hurairah asked for a vessel of water. When he washed his hands, he washed them beyond the elbows, and when he washed his feet, he washed them up to the shins. I asked,“What is this?”He replied,“This is for the increase of adornment on the Day of Resurrection.”

Hazrat Abu Zar’ah narrates that I went to Hazrat Abu Hurairah, and during ablution he washed his hands up to the shoulders and his feet up to the knees. I said,“Is not the amount prescribed by Allah sufficient for you?”He replied,“Why not, but I heard the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) say that a person’s adornment in Paradise will reach up to the places where the water of ablution reaches. So I desire that my adornment be increased.”

Hazrat Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with both of them) was asked about a man who goes out for prayer and passes over filth on the way. Hazrat Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with both of them) said, "If the filth is wet, then he should wash it, and if it is dry, then there is no harm."

Ibrahim (regarding a person who passes through an impure place) says that if it is wet, then wash it, and if it is dry, then there is no harm.

Hazrat Ata says that if the impurity is wet, then wash it, and if it is dry, then there is no harm.

Hasan (regarding one who passes over wet impurity) says that he should only wash it; ablution is not necessary.

Hazrat Aamir (regarding carrion, menstrual cloths, or one who passes over dry impurity) says that there is no harm in it.

Hazrat Saeed bin Jubair says that there is no harm in passing over that soil which has been mixed with urine.

Ibrahim (regarding a person who passes over filth while going to the mosque) says that he should not repeat his ablution.

Ibrahim bin Abdur Rahman's slave woman says that my garment used to be long and I would drag it while walking. Sometimes I would pass through a dirty place and then through a clean place. I went to Umm Salamah and asked her about this matter. She said, "I heard the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) say that the place that comes after will purify it."
