Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: The people asked, "O Messenger of Allah! How will you recognize those individuals of your Ummah whom you have not seen?" The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "They will have radiant foreheads due to the effects of ablution."

Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: The Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "You will come with radiant foreheads due to ablution; this will be a distinctive sign of my Ummah. It will not be for anyone other than them."

Nuaim bin Abdullah reports: He saw Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) performing ablution. During ablution, he washed his face and washed his arms up to the shoulders. Then he washed both feet and washed them up to the shins, then he narrated this statement: I heard the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) say: "Indeed, on the Day of Resurrection, the individuals of my Ummah will have radiant foreheads due to the marks of ablution." Whoever among you can increase his radiance should do so."

Sayyiduna Uqbah bin Amir (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: We were with the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him), and we ourselves were our own servants. We used to take care of our camels ourselves. I was also grazing some camels. I brought them back in the evening and met the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) while he was delivering a sermon to the people. I heard him say: "Whoever performs ablution and does it well, then stands and offers two units of prayer, during which he focuses with his mind and face, then Paradise becomes obligatory for him." Sayyiduna Uqbah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: I said, "How excellent this is!" Then a man said, "What was mentioned before this is even more excellent." I looked and saw that it was Sayyiduna Umar bin Khattab (may Allah be pleased with him). I asked, "O Abu Hafs! What was that?" He replied, "The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said before you came: 'Whoever performs ablution and does it well, and after completing the ablution recites: I bear witness that there is no deity except Allah, He is alone, He has no partner, and indeed Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) is His servant and His Messenger,' then all eight gates of Paradise are opened for him, and he may enter through whichever he wishes." Muawiyah bin Salih says: Rabee’ah bin Yazid narrated this hadith to me from Abu Idris, from Sayyiduna Uqbah bin Amir (may Allah be pleased with him). (Imam Ibn Hibban, may Allah have mercy on him, says:) (Regarding the narrator named Abu Uthman, it is possible that he is Hariz bin Uthman Rahbi. Our reliance is on the second chain; the narrator named Hariz bin Uthman has no standing in the science of hadith.)

Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Umar (may Allah be pleased with them) narrates: The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Whoever spends the night in a state of ablution, an angel spends the night inside his blanket. When that person wakes up, the angel says: O Allah! Forgive so-and-so servant, for he spent the night in a state of ablution."

Sayyiduna Uqbah bin Amir (may Allah be pleased with him) says: I am not narrating anything today regarding the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) except what he himself said. I heard the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) say: "Whoever deliberately attributes something to me which I did not say, let him prepare his abode in Hell." Sayyiduna Uqbah bin Amir (may Allah be pleased with him) also said: I heard the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) say: "A person from my Ummah stands up at night to perform ablution while knots are tied upon you people. When he washes his hands, one knot is untied; when he washes his face, one knot is untied; when he wipes his head, one knot is untied; when he washes his feet, one knot is untied. Then Allah Almighty, from the other side of the veil, says: 'Look at My servant who is preparing himself to ask from Me.' Whatever My servant asks from Me, he will be granted; whatever My servant asks from Me, he will be granted."

Abdur Rahman bin Abdullah narrates from his father (Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Mas'ud, may Allah be pleased with him): Making two transactions in one deal is usury, and the Messenger of Allah commanded us to perform ablution well.

Asim bin Laqit bin Sabrah narrates from his father: I was included in the delegation of Banu Muthaffiq that presented itself before the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him). We went to the service of the Prophet (peace be upon him), but did not find him at his house. We had gone to the house of Sayyida Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her). She had ordered khazirah to be prepared for us. When it was ready, she brought a tray of dates to us. We were eating them. Meanwhile, the Prophet (peace be upon him) arrived. He asked: Have you eaten anything, or should I order something for you? We replied: Yes, O Messenger of Allah. We were sitting with the Prophet (peace be upon him). Meanwhile, a shepherd was taking the Prophet’s (peace be upon him) goats towards their enclosure. There was a goat with him that was making a sound. The Prophet (peace be upon him) asked: Has it given birth? He replied: Yes, a kid has been born. The Prophet (peace be upon him) said: Slaughter a goat in place of the kid. Then the Prophet (peace be upon him) turned to us and said: Do not think that we are slaughtering it because of you. We have one hundred goats. They do not increase beyond this. Whenever a kid is born, we slaughter a goat in its place. The narrator says: I said: O Messenger of Allah! I have a wife whose tongue is somewhat sharp. The Prophet (peace be upon him) said: Then divorce her. The narrator says: I said: O Messenger of Allah! I have a child from her, and we have been together for a long time. The Prophet (peace be upon him) said: Advise her; if there is goodness in her, she will accept it. However, do not beat your wife as a slave girl is beaten. The narrator says: I said: O Messenger of Allah! Tell me about ablution. The Prophet (peace be upon him) said: Perform ablution well, pass water between your fingers, and rinse your nose thoroughly, except if you are fasting (then the ruling is different).

Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Amr (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: We were returning with the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) from Makkah to Madinah. On the way, at a certain place, some people hurried ahead at the time of Asr prayer. In their haste, they began to perform ablution quickly. Sayyiduna Abdullah narrates: When we reached those people, their (heels) were dry and shining, water had not touched them. So the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: Woe to these heels from the Hellfire! Perform ablution thoroughly.

Abd Khair narrates: Sayyiduna Ali bin Abi Talib (may Allah be pleased with him) led the Fajr prayer, then came out into the courtyard and we also came along with him. He asked for water for ablution. A boy came to him carrying a vessel in which there was water and brought a basin. He took the vessel in his right hand and poured water onto his left hand and washed it three times. Then he washed both his hands before putting them into the vessel. Then he put his right hand into the vessel, then took a handful from it and rinsed his mouth and cleaned his nose. He did this three times. Then he put his hand into the vessel and washed his face three times, washed both arms three times, then wiped his head and the back part of his head with both hands. Then he put his right hand into the vessel and poured it over his right foot and washed it, then put his hand into the vessel and took it out, then washed the other foot. Then he said: Whoever wishes (that is, whoever wants) to see the ablution of the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him), then this is the way of the ablution of the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him).
