Volume 1English
Abu Hayyah said: I saw Ali perform wudu, and he washed his hands until they were clean, then rinsed his mouth three times and sniffed water up his nose three times. He washed his face three times, his arms three times, wiped his head once, then washed his feet up to the ankles. Then he stood and drank the remainder of his ablution while standing. He then said: "I wanted to show you how the wudu of the Messenger of Allah was."

Hadith 468
Volume 1English
From Hussain ibn Ali: Ali called for water, and when it was brought to him, he washed his hands three times before putting them into the water for wudu. Then he rinsed his mouth three times, inhaled water through his nose three times, washed his face three times, washed his right arm up to the elbow three times, and did the same for his left arm. He then wiped his head once, washed his right foot up to the ankles three times, and did the same for his left foot. After this, he stood up and said to me: "Hand it to me." I handed him the remaining water from his wudu, and he drank it while standing. I was amazed. When he saw my amazement, he said: "Do not be amazed, for I saw your father, the Prophet ﷺ, do the same thing. He would say, 'With this wudu,' and he would drink the remaining water from his wudu while standing." [Narrated by Nasai, At-Tahawi, Ibn Jarir, and authenticated by Ibn Abi Shaybah]
In the Musnad of our Imam Abu Hanifa: From Ali ibn Abi Talib: He performed wudu, washed his hands three times, rinsed his mouth three times, inhaled water three times, washed his face three times, his arms three times, wiped his head, and washed his feet. He said: "This is the wudu of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ."
And in another narration from Ali: He called for water, washed his hands three times, rinsed his mouth three times, inhaled water three times, washed his face three times, his arms three times, wiped his head three times, and washed his feet three times. Then he said: "This is the wudu of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ."
Abdullah ibn Muhammad ibn Ya'qub, meaning the one who narrated from Abu Hanifa in this hadith, said that the Prophet ﷺ wiped his head three times, placing his hand on the crown of his head, then extended his hands to the back of his head, and then to the front, making it three times. However, this was only once because he did not separate his hand, nor did he take water three times. It is as if he placed the water in his hand and extended it to his neck. Do you not see that Ali clarified in the narrations from him—by Jarrud ibn Zayd, Kharijah ibn Mus'ab, and Asad ibn Umar—that the wiping was done only once? He made it clear that this is what we have mentioned.

Volume 1English
From Humran: I saw Uthman ibn Affan performing wudu. He poured water on his hands three times, then washed them, rinsed his mouth three times, inhaled water through his nose three times, then washed his face three times. He washed his right hand up to the elbow three times, then the left hand the same, wiped his head, and washed his right foot up to the ankle three times, then the left foot three times. Then he said: "I saw the Messenger of Allah ﷺ perform wudu in this manner." He added: "Whoever performs wudu like my wudu, then prays two rak'ahs without distracting himself in them, his past sins will be forgiven."

Volume 1English
From Abu Alqama, from Uthman ibn Affan: One day, Uthman called for water for wudu, then invited some of the companions of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. He poured water from his right hand over his left hand and washed them three times. He then rinsed his mouth three times, inhaled water through his nose three times, washed his face three times, washed his hands three times up to the elbows, wiped his head, and washed his feet thoroughly. Then he said: "I saw the Messenger of Allah ﷺ perform wudu like this wudu you saw me perform." He then said: "Whoever performs wudu and does it well, then prays two rak'ahs, his sins will be forgiven, as if he was born anew from his mother." He then asked: "Is this the same, O so-and-so?" The reply was, "Yes." He asked again: "Is this the same, O so-and-so?" The reply was, "Yes," until he had confirmed with several companions of the Messenger of Allah. Then he said: "Praise be to Allah who made you agree with me on this."

From Uqbah ibn Amir: We were responsible for tending camels, and my turn came. I took them for grazing in the afternoon and caught up with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, who was standing addressing the people. I overheard him saying: "No Muslim performs wudu and does it well, then stands to pray two rak'ahs, focusing on them with his heart and face, except that Paradise becomes obligatory for him."

Al-Khalbi said: "It is also narrated in some reports that whoever recites it after wudu will have their sins forgiven for fifty years."

Hadith 475
Volume 1English
From Aisha: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ had a piece of cloth with which he would dry his body parts after wudu. 1 [Narrated by Tirmidhi]
Tirmidhi said: "This hadith is not a sound one, and Abu Mu'adh, the narrator, is weak according to the scholars of hadith. However, some scholars, including the companions of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and those who came after them, permitted using a cloth after wudu."
Ali al-Qari said: "It is unimaginable that people like Uthman, Anas, and Hasan ibn Ali would have done this on their own. Their actions indicate that this hadith has a foundation, and acting upon a hadith, even if weak, is preferable to acting upon an opinion, even if strong."

He had a piece of cloth with which he would dry his body parts after wudu,
(1) Regarding the statement: "He had a piece of cloth with which he would dry his body parts after wudu," Ibn Hajar said: "If this is authentic, it should be understood as being done either out of necessity or to show that it is permissible. Maimunah came to him after he performed wudu with a cloth, but he rejected it and began wiping the water off with his hands. For this reason, the Shafi'i scholars say it is recommended for one performing wudu or ghusl to refrain from drying off, following the example of the Prophet ﷺ." In "Al-Khanyah," it is stated that the Hanafi scholars do not see any harm in using a cloth for wiping after wudu or ghusl, as it was narrated that the Prophet ﷺ did this, and this is the correct position. However, one should avoid overdoing it or being excessive. In "Sharah al-Kanz" by al-Zayla'i, it is also noted that wiping with a cloth after wudu is permissible, and this was practiced by Uthman, Anas, Hasan ibn Ali, and Masruq. The commentary in "Ma'raj al-Rayah" mentions that while wiping with a cloth is permissible, it should not be done excessively, so that the traces of wudu remain on the body parts. "Al-Muniyah" also explicitly states that it is recommended to wipe with a cloth. Therefore, while some narrations indicate a rejection, it could have been done for a specific reason or to demonstrate the permissibility of wiping with a cloth.

قوله
(۱) قوله : خرقة ينشف بها إلخ : قال ابن حجر : هذا إن صح فمحمول على أنه لعذر أو لبيان الجواز؛ لأن ميمونة أتته بعد وضوئه بمنديل فرده، وجعل ينفض الماء بيده، ولذا قال أصحابنا الشافعية يسن للمتوضئ والمغتسل ترك التنشيف للاتباع. اهـ وفي الخانية»: لا بأس عند الحنفية للمتوضئ والمغتسل أن يتمسح بالمنديل؛ لما روي عن رسول الله ﷺ أنه فعل ذلك، وهو الصحيح. إلا أنه ينبغي أن لا يبالغ ولا يستقصى. وفي شرح الكنز» للزيلعي : لا بأس بالتمسح بالمنديل بعد الوضوء، روي ذلك عن عثمان وأنس والحسن بن على ومسروق. وقال في معراج الراية»: إلا أنه لا يبالغ فيبقى أثر الوضوء على أعضائه، وصرح باستحباب التمسح صاحب «المنية» هذا. ويمكن أن يكون رده لعذر أو لبيان الجواز. كذا في «المرقاة» وغيره.

ف: ام المؤمنین میمونہ رضی اللہ عنہا نے حضور انور صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم کی خدمت میں وضوء کے بعد رومال پیش کیں تو آپ نے اس کو واپس فرمایا اور دست مبارک سے پانی کو پونچھنے لگے، اسی بناء پر شوافع کہتے ہیں کہ وضوء اور غسل کرنے والے کے لئے مسنون یہ ہے کہ وہ رومال وغیرہ سے اعضاء کو پونچھا نہ کرے، لیکن خانیہ میں لکھا ہے کہ احناف کے پاس وضوء کرنے والے اور غسل کرنے والے کے اعضاء کو کپڑے سے خشک کرنے میں کوئی حرج نہیں اس لئے کہ رسول اللہ صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم سے ثابت ہے کہ آپ نے اس طرح پونچھا ہے اور یہی صحیح ہے، البتہ پونچھنے میں بہت ہی زیادتی نہ کرے، چنانچہ شرح کنز اور زیلعی میں مذکور ہے کہ وضوء کے بعد کپڑے سے پونچھنے میں کوئی مضائقہ نہیں ہے اس لئے کہ حضرت عثمان، انس، امام حسن بن علی اور مسروق رضی اللہ عنہم سے پونچھنے کی روایت آئی ہے۔ اور معراج الدرایہ میں مذکور ہے کہ پونچھنے میں بہت ہی زیادتی نہ کرے بلکہ اس طرح پونچھے کہ اعضائے وضوء پر وضوء کے پانی کے علامات باقی رہیں، پونچھنے کے مستحب ہونے کی صراحت مصنف منیہ نے کی ہے، اور یہ بھی ممکن ہے کہ آنحضرت صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم نے جو حضرت میمونہ رضی اللہ عنہا کا رومال واپس فرما دیا ہو تو کسی عذر کے لئے ہو یا یہ بتلانے کے لئے کہ نہ پونچھنا بھی جائز ہے۔ (ماخوذ از ”مرقات“ وغیرہ)۔

Narrated Muhammad ibn Yahya ibn Hibban: I asked Ubaydullah ibn Abdullah ibn Umar: "Was Abdullah ibn Umar performing wudu for every prayer, whether he was pure or not, and from whom did he take this practice?" He replied: "Asma' bint Zayd ibn al-Khattab narrated to me that Abdullah ibn Hanzala al-Ghaseel told her that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ was commanded to perform wudu for every prayer, whether pure or impure. When this became difficult for the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, he was commanded to use the siwak at each prayer, and the wudu was lifted from him except for after an event of impurity. Abdullah ibn Umar believed he had the strength to do so, and he continued doing it until he died."

ف: ہر نماز کے لئے تازہ وضوء کرنا خواہ وضوء ہو یا نہ ہو عزیمت ہے، اور ایک ہی وضوء سے کئی نمازوں کا ادا کرنا رخصت ہے تو حضرت عبداللہ بن عمر رضی اللہ عنہما کا وضوء اور بے وضوء، ہر دو حالتوں میں ہر نماز کے لئے تازہ وضوء کرنا عزیمت پر عمل تھا۔
Hadith 478
Volume 1English
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."

عبداللہ بن محمد بن یعقوب رحمہ اللہ علیہ نے وضاحت کی ہے کہ امام ابوحنیفہ رحمہ اللہ علیہ نے کہا ہے کہ جس شخص نے تین مرتبہ سر کے مسح کرنے کی روایت کی ہے اس کی مراد یہ ہے کہ تین مرتبہ سر کا مسح اس طرح کیا گیا کہ آنحضرت صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم نے پہلے اپنا دست مبارک تالو پر رکھا اور پھر دونوں ہاتھوں کو سر کے پچھلے حصہ تک لے گئے پھر وہاں سے ہاتھوں کو سر کے اگلے حصہ تک واپس لائے اور اسی کو تین مرتبہ مسح قرار دیا حالانکہ وہ (پورے سر پر) ایک ہی مرتبہ تھا اس لئے کہ آنحضرت صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم نے اپنے ہاتھ کو سر سے الگ نہیں کیا اور نہ تین مرتبہ آپ نے پانی لیا، یہ ایسا ہے جیسے کوئی پانی ہاتھ میں لے پھر اس کو بہو بچوں کے کنارے تک کھینچ لے جائے، چنانچہ امام ابوحنیفہ رحمہ اللہ علیہ نے جارود بن زید، خارجہ بن مصعب اور اسد بن عمر رضی اللہ عنہم سے جو روایت کی ہے اس میں صرف ایک مرتبہ مسح کرنے کا ذکر ہے تو جب خود امام ابوحنیفہ رحمہ اللہ علیہ نے ایک مرتبہ مسح کرنے کی روایت کی ہے تو اسی صورت میں تین مرتبہ مسح کرنے کا مفہوم وہی ہوگا جس کو ہم نے اوپر بیان کیا ہے۔
