Narrated Abu Gutaif al-Hudhali: I prayed with Abdullah ibn Umar the Zuhr prayer, then he went to his sitting place in his house. I followed him, and when the call for Asr prayer was made, he called for wudu, performed it, then went out and prayed Asr. Afterward, he returned to his sitting place, and I followed him. When the call for Maghrib was made, he called for wudu again, and performed it. I asked him: "What is this, O Abu Abdur Rahman, wudu for every prayer?" He replied: "You have noticed this from me; it is not a Sunnah. If my wudu from Fajr is enough, it is sufficient for all my prayers as long as I do not break it. But I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say: 'Whoever performs wudu while in a state of purity, Allah will record for him ten good deeds.' And this is what I desired, O son of my brother."
