One day, Ameer-ul-Mu’mineen Sayyiduna ‘Usman-e-Ghani رَضِىَ الـلّٰـهُ عَـنْهُ was sat by the entrance of the Masjid and asked for the meat of a goat’s foreleg and consumed it. He then offered Salah without redoing Wudu and said, ‘The Noble Prophet صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم also consumed the very same, sitting at the same place, and did so in the same way.’

(Musnad-e-Ahmad, Musnad ‘Usman Bin ‘Affaan, vol. 1, p. 137, Hadees 441)

Once Ameer-ul-Mu’mineen Sayyiduna ‘Usman-e-Ghani رَضِىَ الـلّٰـهُ عَـنْهُ began smiling whilst performing Wudu! People asked the reason, to which he رَضِىَ الـلّٰـهُ عَـنْهُ replied, ‘Once I saw that the Holy Prophet صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم smiled having performed Wudu at this very place.’

(Musnad Ahmad, Musnad ‘Usman Bin ‘Affaan, vol. 1, p. 130, Hadees 415)

When Ameer-ul-Mu’mineen Sayyiduna ‘Usman-e-Ghani رَضِىَ الـلّٰـهُ عَـنْهُ made the intention of Salah one cold night [in the winter], he asked for water from his slave, Sayyiduna Humraan رَضِىَ الـلّٰـهُ عَـنْهُ for Wudu; the slave presented water to him, so he began washing his hands and face from it. (He started Wudu, so) the slave requested, ‘May Allah Almighty protect you. You are performing Wudu even though the night is in fact very cold.’ He replied, ‘I heard from the Noble Prophet صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم, ‘The person who performs perfect Wudu, Allah Almighty forgives his former and latter sins.’

(Musnad-ul-Bazzaar, Musnad ‘Usman Bin ‘Affaan, vol. 2, p. 75, Hadees 422)

صَلُّوۡا عَلَى الۡحَبِيۡب                 صَلَّى اللّٰهُ عَلٰى مُحَمَّد

Dear Islamic sisters! Keeping the aforementioned narration in mind, we should also contemplate whether we also know how to perform Wudu in a proper manner or not? If we do not know, we should therefore learn; are we also punctual in offering Faraaid and Nawafil? Do we also have the passion to act upon Sunnahs? May Allah Almighty grant us the taufeeq to fulfil the Faraaid, Wajibat, Sunnahs and Mustahabbat.

اٰمِــيْن بِـجَـاهِ الـنَّـبِـیِّ الْاَمِــيْن صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم
