Sayyiduna Abdullah (bin Mas’ud, may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: I heard the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) say:“When a person begins to perform wudu, he should first recite ‘Bismillah’, because this will purify his entire body. If he does not recite ‘Bismillah’ before wudu, then only that part will be purified upon which water is applied. And when a person completes his wudu, he should recite the testimony of faith: There is no deity except Allah, and Muhammad (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) is Allah’s special servant and Messenger. When he recites this, the gates of the heavens will be opened for him.”The narrator of this narration, Yahya bin Hashim, is weak.
