Uthman (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "The Messenger of Allah ﷺ performed ablution three times for each action and said, 'This is my ablution, the ablution of the Prophets before me, and the ablution of Ibrahim (عليه السلام).'"

Hadith 448

Volume 1

Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) said: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: "Whoever performs ablution once for each part, that is the obligatory minimum of ablution. Whoever performs it twice for each part will have a double reward, and whoever performs it three times for each part, that is my ablution and the ablution of the Prophets before me." [Narrated by Ahmad] In another narration narrated by Al-Daraqutni, Al-Bayhaqi, Ibn Hibban, Ibn Majah, Ahmad, and Al-Tabarani, it is mentioned: "The Prophet ﷺ performed ablution once for each part and said, 'This is the ablution without which Allah does not accept prayer.' Then he performed ablution twice for each part and said, 'This is the ablution of the one who will have a double reward.' Then he performed ablution three times for each part and said, 'This is my ablution and the ablution of the Prophets before me.'" Al-Tirmidhi stated: "The majority of scholars agree that performing ablution once for each part suffices, performing it twice is better, and performing it three times is the most virtuous. There is nothing beyond three times."

ف: طہارت میں حد سے بڑھنا یہ ہے کہ تین بار سے زیادہ اعضاء کو دھوئے اور پانی زیادہ خرچ کرے۔ اور دھونے میں اس قدر مبالغہ کرے کہ حد وسواس کو پہنچے۔ اور دعا میں حد سے بڑھنا یہ ہے کہ بے ادبی کرے اور مطلب کے مانگنے میں قیدیں لگائے یا ایسی چیز کا سوال کرے جو امکان اور عادت سے باہر ہو۔12

Hadith 450

Volume 1

English

Ubayy bin Ka'b (may Allah be pleased with him) narrated that the Prophet ﷺ said: "There is a devil for wudu (ablution) called 'Al-Walahan.' So beware of the whispers of water." [Narrated by Tirmidhi and Ibn Majah] Tirmidhi said: This is a strange hadith, and its chain of narration is not strong according to the scholars of hadith, as we do not know anyone who has narrated it other than Kharijah, and he is not considered strong by our scholars

Hadith 463

Volume 1

English

Anas said: I saw the Messenger of Allah ﷺ performing wudu while wearing a Qitri turban, and he put his hands under the turban and wiped the front of his head. [Narrated by Abu Dawood, and Al-Hakim narrated a similar version from Abu Ma'qil] Shumuni said: It is well known that the forelock and the front of the head are one of its four sides. If wiping a quarter of the head were not sufficient, he would not have limited himself to that. And if wiping less than that was sufficient, the Prophet ﷺ would have done it at least once in his lifetime as a lesson for the permissibility.

علامہ شمنی رحمۃ اللہ علیہ نے وضاحت کی ہے ناصیہ اور مقدم راس، سر کے چاروں جانب میں سر کا ایک جانب ہے اگر سر کے چوتھائی حصہ کا مسح ناکافی ہوتا تو آنحضرت صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم اس وقت اسی پر اکتفاء نہ فرماتے اور اگر اس سے کم پر مسح ہوتا تو آپ چوتھائی سے کم پر بھی مسح فرماتے اور تعلیم جواز کے لئے کم از کم عمر میں ایک مرتبہ ضرور ایسا فرماتے۔
