Chapter on the Virtues of Ablution

Zujajat al-Masabih 281Volume 1

English

The hadith describes the spiritual purification process through ablution (wudu). When a believing servant performs wudu, the impurities or sins are cleansed from various parts of the body: from the mouth when rinsing, from the nose when sniffing, from the face while washing it, from the hands when washing up to the wrists, from the head when wiping, and from the feet when washing up to the ankles. This purification continues until all impurities are removed, even from under the nails. Afterward, if the person walks to the mosque for prayer, they are considered to have performed a voluntary prayer. [This narration was
