1.137:
Narrated Abu Huraira: Allah's Apostle said, "The prayer of a
person who does Hadath (passes urine, stool or wind) is not
accepted till he performs the ablution." A person from
Hadaramout asked Abu Huraira, "What is 'Hadath'?" Abu Huraira
replied, " 'Hadath' means the passing of wind."

1.138:
Narrated Nu`am Al−Mujmir: Once I went up the roof of the
mosque, along with Abu Huraira. He perform ablution and said,
"I heard the Prophet saying, "On the Day of Resurrection, my
followers will be called "Al−Ghurr−ul−Muhajjalun" from the
trace of ablution and whoever can increase the area of his
radiance should do so (i.e. by performing ablution
regularly).' "

about a person who imagined to have passed wind during the
prayer. Allah' Apostle replied: "He should not leave his
prayers unless he hears sound or smells something."

Narrated Kuraib:
Ibn `Abbas said, "The Prophet slept till he snored and then
prayed (or probably lay till his breath sounds were heard and
then got up and prayed)." Ibn `Abbas added: "I stayed
overnight in the house of my aunt, Maimuna, the Prophet slept
for a part of the night, (See Fath−al−Bari page 249, Vol. 1),
and late in the night, he got up and performed ablution from a
hanging water skin, a light (perfect) ablution and stood up
for the prayer. I, too, performed a similar ablution, then I
went and stood on his left. He drew me to his right and prayed
as much as Allah wished, and again lay and slept till his
breath sounds were heard. Later on the Mu'adh−dhin (call maker
for the prayer) came to him and informed him that it was time
for Prayer. The Prophet went with him for the prayer without
performing a new ablution." (Sufyan said to `Amr that some
people said, "The eyes of Allah's Apostle sleep but his heart
does not sleep." `Amr replied, "I heard `Ubaid bin `Umar
saying that the dreams of Prophets were Divine Inspiration,
and then he recited the verse: 'I (Abraham) see in a dream, (O
my son) that I offer you in sacrifice (to Allah)." (37.102)

1.141:
Narrated Usama bin Zaid: Allah's Apostle proceeded from
`Arafat till when he reached the mountain pass, he dismounted,
urinated and then performed ablution but not a perfect one. I
said to him, ("Is it the time for) the prayer, O Allah's
Apostle?" He said, "The (place of) prayer is ahead of you." He
rode till when he reached Al−Muzdalifa, he dismounted and
performed ablution and a perfect one, The (call for) Iqama was
pronounced and he led the Maghrib prayer. Then everybody made
his camel kneel down at its place. Then the Iqama was
pronounced for the `Isha' prayer which the Prophet led and no
prayer was offered in between the two . prayers (`Isha' and
Maghrib).

Narrated `Ata' bin Yasar: Ibn `Abbas performed ablution and
washed his face (in the following way): He ladled out a
handful of water, rinsed his mouth and washed his nose with it
by putting in water and then blowing it out. He then, took
another handful (of water) and did like this (gesturing)
joining both hands, and washed his face, took another handful
of water and washed his right forearm. He again took another
handful of water and washed his left forearm, and passed wet
hands over his head and took another handful of water and
poured it over his right foot (up to his ankles) and washed it

offensive and wicked things (evil deeds and evil spirits).

1.145:
Narrated Ibn `Abbas: Once the Prophet entered a lavatory and I

for answering the call of nature, you should not face the
Qibla or Baitul−Maqdis (Jerusalem)." I told them. "Once I went

the call of nature while sitting on two bricks facing
Baitul−Maqdis (Jerusalem) (but there was a screen covering
him. ' (Fath−al−Bari, Page 258, Vol. 1).

1.148:

The wives of the Prophet used to go to Al−Manasi, a vast open
place (near Baqi` at Medina) to answer the call of nature at
night. `Umar used to say to the Prophet "Let your wives be
veiled," but Allah's Apostle did not do so. One night Sauda
bint Zam`a the wife of the Prophet went out at `Isha' time and
she was a tall lady. `Umar addressed her and said, "I have
recognized you, O Sauda." He said so, as he desired eagerly
that the verses of Al−Hijab (the observing of veils by the
Muslim women) may be revealed. So Allah revealed the verses of
"Al−Hijab" (A complete body cover excluding the eyes).

1.156:
Narrated Abu Qatada: The Prophet said, "Whenever anyone of you
makes water he should not hold his penis or clean his private
parts with his right hand. (And while drinking) one should not
breathe in the drinking utensil ."

1.157:
Narrated Abu Huraira: I followed the Prophet while he was
going out to answer the call of nature. He used not to look
this way or that. So, when I approached near him he said to
me, "Fetch for me some stones for ' cleaning the privates
parts (or said something similar), and do not bring a bone or
a piece of dung." So I brought the stones in the corner of my
garment and placed them by his side and I then went away from
him. When he finished (from answering the call of nature) he
used, them .

1.158:
Narrated `Abdullah: The Prophet went out to answer the call of
nature and asked me to bring three stones. I found two stones
and searched for the third but could not find it. So took a
dried piece of dung and brought it to him. He took the two
stones and threw away the dung and said, "This is a filthy
thing."

over his hands and washed them thrice and then put his right
hand in the water container and rinsed his mouth, washed his
nose by putting water in it and then blowing it out. then he
washed his face and forearms up to the elbows thrice, passed
his wet hands over his head and washed his feet up to the
ankles thrice. Then he said, "Allah's Apostle said 'If anyone
Performs ablution like that of mine and offers a two−rak`at
prayer during which he does not think of anything else (not
related to the present prayer) then his past sins will be
forgiven.' " After performing the ablution `Uthman said, "I am
going to tell you a Hadith which I would not have told you,
had I not been compelled by a certain Holy Verse (the sub
narrator `Urwa said: This verse is: "Verily, those who conceal
the clear signs and the guidance which we have sent down...)"
(2:159). I heard the Prophet saying, 'If a man performs
ablution perfectly and then offers the compulsory
congregational prayer, Allah will forgive his sins committed
between that (prayer) and the (next) prayer till he offers it.

1.162:
Narrated Abu Huraira: The Prophet said, "Whoever performs
ablution should clean his nose with water by putting the water
in it and then blowing it out, and whoever cleans his private
parts with stones should do it with odd number of stones."

1.163:

performs ablution he should put water in his nose and then
blow it out and whoever cleans his private parts with stones
should do so with odd numbers. And whoever wakes up from his

for ablution, because nobody knows where his hands were during
sleep."

1.164:
Narrated `Abdullah bin `Amr: The Prophet remained behind us on
a journey. He joined us while we were performing ablution for
the `Asr prayer which was overdue and we were just passing wet

addressed us in a loud voice saying twice , "Save your heels
from the fire."

1.165:
Narrated Humran:
(the freed slave of `Uthman bin `Affan) I saw `Uthman bin

(and when it was brought) he poured water from it over his
hands and washed them thrice and then put his right hand in
the water container and rinsed his mouth and washed his nose
by putting water in it and then blowing it out. Then he washed
his face thrice and (then) forearms up to the elbows thrice,
then passed his wet hands over his head and then washed each
foot thrice. After that `Uthman said, "I saw the Prophet
performing ablution like this of mine, and he said, 'If anyone

prayer during which he does not think of anything else (not
related to the present prayer) then his past sins will be
forgiven. '

1.166:

passed by us while the people were performing ablution from a
utensil containing water, "Perform ablution perfectly and
thoroughly for Abul−Qasim (the Prophet) said, 'Save your heels

1.167:
Narrated `Ubaid Ibn Juraij: I asked `Abdullah bin `Umar, "O
Abu `Abdur−Rahman! I saw you doing four things which I never
saw being done by anyone of you companions?" `Abdullah bin
`Umar said, "What are those, O Ibn Juraij?" I said, "I never
saw you touching any corner of the Ka`ba except these (two)
facing south (Yemen) and I saw you wearing shoes made of
tanned leather and dyeing your hair with Hinna (a kind of red
dye). I also noticed that whenever you were in Mecca, the
people assume Ihram on seeing the new moon crescent (1st of
Dhul−Hijja) while you did not assume the Ihlal (Ihram) −(Ihram
is also called Ihlal which means 'Loud calling' because a
Muhrim has to recite Talbiya aloud when assuming the state of
Ihram) − till the 8th of Dhul−Hijja (Day of Tarwiya).
`Abdullah replied, "Regarding the corners of Ka`ba, I never
saw Allah's Apostle touching except those facing south (Yemen)
and regarding the tanned leather shoes, no doubt I saw Allah's
Apostle wearing non−hairy shoes and he used to perform
ablution while wearing the shoes (i.e. wash his feet and then
put on the shoes). So I love to wear similar shoes. And about
the dyeing of hair with Hinna; no doubt I saw Allah's Apostle
dyeing his hair with it and that is why I like to dye (my hair
with it). Regarding Ihlal, I did not see Allah's Apostle
assuming Ihlal till he set out for Hajj (on the 8th of
Dhul−Hijja).

1.168:

his deceased daughter had said to them, "Start from the right

himself and on doing anything else.

prayer was due and the people searched for water to perform
ablution but they could not find it. Later on (a pot full of)

hand in that pot and ordered the people to perform ablution
from it. I saw the water springing out from underneath his
fingers till all of them performed the ablution (it was one of
the miracles of the Prophet).

1.171:
Narrated Ibn Seereen: I said to `Abida, "I have some of the
hair of the Prophet which I got from Anas or from his family."

is in it."

When Allah's Apostle got his head shaved, Abu− Talha was the
first to take some of his hair.

Narrated Abu Huraira: The Prophet said, "A man saw a dog
eating mud from (the severity of) thirst. So, that man took a
shoe (and filled it) with water and kept on pouring the water
for the dog till it quenched its thirst. So Allah approved of
his deed and made him to enter Paradise." And narrated Hamza
bin `Abdullah: My father said. "During the lifetime of Allah's
Apostle, the dogs used to urinate, and pass through the
mosques (come and go), nevertheless they never used to
sprinkle water on it (urine of the dog.)"

1.175:
Narrated `Adi bin Hatim: I asked the Prophet (about the
hunting dogs) and he replied, "If you let loose (with Allah's
name) your tamed dog after a game and it hunts it, you may eat
it, but if the dog eats of (that game) then do not eat it
because the dog has hunted it for itself." I further said,
"Sometimes I send my dog for hunting and find another dog with
it. He said, "Do not eat the game for you have mentioned
Allah's name only on sending your dog and not the other dog."

1.176:
Narrated Abu Huraira: Allah's Apostle said, "A person is
considered in prayer as long as he is waiting for the prayer
in the mosque as long as he does not do Hadath." A non−Arab

the passing of wind (from the anus) (that is one of the types
of Hadath).

"One should not leave his prayer unless he hears sound or
smells something."

1.178:
Narrated `Ali:
I used to get emotional urethral discharges frequently and
felt shy to ask Allah's Apostle about it. So I requested
Al−Miqdad bin Al−Aswad to ask (the Prophet ) about it.
Al−Miqdad asked him and he replied, "On has to perform
ablution (after it).

1.179:
Narrated Zaid bin Khalid: I asked `Uthman bin `Affan about a
person who engaged in intercourse but did no discharge.
`Uthman replied, "He should perform ablution like the one for
an ordinary prayer but he must wash his penis." `Uthman added,
"I heard it from Allah's Apostle." I asked `Ali Az−Zubair,
Talha and Ubai bin Ka`b about it and they, too, gave the same
reply. (This order was canceled later on and taking a bath
became necessary for such cases).

1.180:
Narrated Abu Sa`id Al−Khudri: Allah's Apostle sent for a
Ansari man who came with water dropping from his head. The
Prophet said, "Perhaps we have forced you to hurry up, haven't
we?" The Ansari replied, "Yes." Allah's Apostle further said,
"If you are forced to hurry up (during intercourse) or you do
not discharge then ablution is due on you (This order was
canceled later on, i.e. one has to take a bath).

1.181:
Narrated Usama bin Zaid: "When Allah's Apostle departed from
`Arafat, he turned towards a mountain pass where he answered
the call of nature. (After he had finished) I poured water and

Apostle! Will you offer the prayer?" He replied, "The Musalla
(place of the prayer) is ahead of you (in Al−Muzdalifa).

1.182:

Allah's Apostle on one of the journeys and he went out to

and passed his wet hand over his head and over the two Khuff
(socks made from thick fabric or leather).

1.183:
Narrated `Abdullah bin `Abbas: That he stayed overnight in the
house of Maimuna the wife of the Prophet, his aunt. He added :
I lay on the bed (cushion transversally) while Allah's Apostle
and his wife lay in the lengthwise direction of the cushion.
Allah's Apostle slept till the middle of the night, either a
bit before or a bit after it and then woke up, rubbing the
traces of sleep off his face with his hands. He then, recited
the last ten verses of Sura Al−`Imran, got up and went to a
hanging water−skin. He then Performed the ablution from it and
it was a perfect ablution, and then stood up to offer the
prayer. I, too, got up and did as the Prophet had done. Then I
went and stood by his side. He placed his right hand on my
head and caught my right ear and twisted it. He prayed two
rak`at then two rak`at and two rak`at and then two rak`at and
then two rak`at and then two rak`at (separately six times),
and finally one rak`a (the witr). Then he lay down again in
the bed till the Mu'adh−dhin came to him where upon the
Prophet got up, offered a two light rak`at prayer and went out
and led the Fajr prayer.

1.184:
Narrated Asma' bint Abu Bakr: I came to `Aisha the wife of the
Prophet during the solar eclipse. The people were standing and
offering the prayer and she was also praying. I asked her,
"What is wrong with the people?" She beckoned with her hand
towards the sky and said, "Subhan Allah." I asked her, "Is
there a sign?" She pointed out, "Yes." So I, too, stood for
the prayer till I fell unconscious and later on I poured water
on my head. After the prayer, Allah's Apostle praised and
glorified Allah and said, "Just now I have seen something
which I never saw before at this place of mine, including
Paradise and Hell. I have been inspired (and have understood)
that you will be put to trials in your graves and these trials
will be like the trials of Ad−Dajjal, or nearly like it (the
sub narrator is not sure of what Asma' said). Angels will come
to every one of you and ask, 'What do you know about this
man?' A believer will reply, 'He is Muhammad, Allah's Apostle
, and he came to us with self−evident truth and guidance. So
we accepted his teaching, believed and followed him.' Then the
angels will say to him to sleep in peace as they have come to
know that he was a believer. On the other hand a hypocrite or
a doubtful person will reply, 'I do not know but heard the
people saying something and so I said the same.' "

ablution and I drank from the remaining water. I stood behind

and another man." 'Ubaidullah (the sub narrator) said, "I
informed `Abdullah bin `Abbas of what `Aisha said. Ibn `Abbas
said: 'Do you know who was the other man?' I replied in the
negative. Ibn `Abbas said, 'He was `Ali (bin Abi Talib)."
`Aisha further said, "When the Prophet came to my house and
his sickness became aggravated he ordered us to pour seven
skins full of water on him, so that he might give some advice
to the people. So he was seated in a Mikhdab (brass tub)
belonging to Hafsa, the wife of the Prophet. Then, all of us

us to do). After that he went out to the people."

prayers and when it has finished wash off the blood (take a

companions. One of them said to the others, "Who amongst you
will bring the Abdominal contents (intestines, etc.) of a
camel of Bani so and so and put it on the back of Muhammad,
when he prostrates?" The most unfortunate of them got up and
brought it. He waited till the Prophet prostrated and then
placed it on his back between his shoulders. I was watching
but could not do any thing. I wish I had some people with me
to hold out against them. They started laughing and falling on
one another. Allah's Apostle was in prostration and he did not
lift his head up till Fatima (Prophet's daughter) came and
threw that (camel's Abdominal contents) away from his back. He
raised his head and said thrice, "O Allah! Punish Quraish." So
it was hard for Abu Jahl and his companions when the Prophet
invoked Allah against them as they had a conviction that the
prayers and invocations were accepted in this city (Mecca).
The Prophet said, "O Allah! Punish Abu Jahl, `Utba bin Rabi`a,
Shaiba bin Rabi`a, Al−Walid bin `Utba, Umaiya bin Khalaf, and
`Uqba bin Al Mu'it [??] (and he mentioned the seventh whose

Fatima used to wash the blood off his face. Then straw mat was
burnt and the wound was filled with it."

1.245:
Narrated Abu Burda: My father said, "I came to the Prophet and

or your right side and say, "Allahumma aslamtu wajhi ilaika,
wa fauwadtu `Amri ilaika, wa alja'tu Zahri ilaika raghbatan wa
rahbatan ilaika. La Malja'a wa la manja minka illa ilaika.
Allahumma amantu bikitabika−l−ladhi anzalta wa bina−biyika−l
ladhi arsalta" (O Allah! I surrender to You and entrust all my
affairs to You and depend upon You for Your Blessings both
with hope and fear of You. There is no fleeing from You, and
there is no place of protection and safety except with You O
Allah! I believe in Your Book (the Qur'an) which You have
revealed and in Your Prophet (Muhammad) whom You have sent).
Then if you die on that very night, you will die with faith
(i.e. or the religion of Islam). Let the aforesaid words be
your last utterance (before sleep)." I repeated it before the
Prophet and when I reached "Allahumma amantu
bikitabika−l−ladhi anzalta (O Allah I believe in Your Book
which You have revealed)." I said, "Wa−rasulika (and your
Apostle)." The Prophet said, "No, (but say):
'Wanabiyika−l−ladhi arsalta (Your Prophet whom You have sent),
instead."
