Bk 2 Purification (Kitab Al−Taharah)
INTRODUCTION
We have read in the first Book that the love of Allah is the
highest aim of a true believer. It is for the achievement of
this single end that he affirms his faith in Him by renouncing
all other types of godhood. The love of God is not something
inert or lifeless; it is dynamic in the sense that it calls
for a complete change in the life of man: change in his
thoughts and ideas and change in his conduct and behaviour.
One who claims to be a believer in Allah has to make a good
deal of effort with a view to pleasing his: lord. He has to
purify his soul from all evil thoughts and fancies so that the
love of God should reside in it. Unless the soul is purged of
all impurities one cannot achieve salvation. This is known as
Tahdrah in Islam, and it is the foundation−stone of Imin. This
high objective of the purification of the soul requires
intentional and deliberate efforts and a good deal of
sacrifice on the part of man, and the most elementary stage in
this sacred path is the cleanliness of body. By enjoining
cleanliness of body upon man Islam awakens him to the
realisation of the fact that when impurities on the body of a
man produce such unhealtby effects on his physical being and
corrode his mental health, how miserable his life would be
when his soul is polluted with impurities. The process of the
purification of the soul should, therefore, start with the
purification of the body.
Chapter 1: MERIT OF WUDU'
Bk 2, Number 0432:
Abu Malik at−Ash'ari reported: The Messenger of Allah (may
peace be upon him) said: Cleanliness is half of faith and
al−Hamdu Liliah (Praise be to Allah) fills the scale, and
Subhan Allah (Glory be to Allah) and al−Hamdu Liliah (Praise
be to Allah) fill upwhat is between the heavens and the earth,
and prayer is a light, and charity is proof (of one's faith)
and endurance is a brightness and the Holy Qur'an is a proof
on your behalf or against you. All men go out early in the
morning and sell themselves, thereby setting themselves free
or destroying themselves.
Chapter 2: PURIFICATION IS ESSENTIAL FOR PRAYER
Bk 2, Number 0433:
Mus'ab b. Sa'd reported: 'Abdullah son of Umar came to
Ibn'Amir in order to inquire after his health as he was
ailing. He said Ibn 'Umar, why don't you prayto Allah for me?
He said: I heard of Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him)
say: Neither the prayer is accepted without parification nor
is charity accepted out of the ill−gotten (wealth), and thou
wert the (governor) of Basra.
Bk 2, Number 0434:

upon him) with the same chain of transmitters by Muhammad b.
Muthanna, Ibn Bashshar, Muhammad b. Ja'far, Shu'ba.

Hammam b. Munabbih who is the brother of Wahb b. Munabbih.
said: This is what has been transmitted to us by Abu Huraira
from Muhammad, the Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him)
and then narrated a hadith out of them and observed that the
Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him) said: The prayer of
none amongst you would be accepted in a state of impurity till
he performs ablution.
Chapter 3: HOW TO PERFORM ABLUTION
Bk 2, Number 0436:
Humran, the freed slave of 'Uthman, said: Uthman b. 'Affan
called for ablution water and this is how he performed the
ablution. He washed his hands thrice. He then rinsed his mouth
and cleaned his nose with water (three times). He then washed
his face three times, then washed his right arm up to the
elbow three times, then washed his left arm like that, then
wiped his head; then washed his right foot up to the ankle
three times, then washed his left foot like that, and then
said: I saw the Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him)
perform ablution like this ablution of mine. Then the
Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him) said: He who
performs ablution like this ablution of mine and then stood up
(for prayer) and offered two rak'ahs of prayer without
allowing his thoughts to be distracted, all his previous sins
are expiated. Ibn Shihab said: Our scholars remarked: This is
the most complete of the ablutions performed for prayer.
Bk 2, Number 0437:
Humran, the freed slave of 'Uthman said: I saw Uthman call for
a vessel (of water) and poured water over his hands three
times and then washed them. Then he put his right hand in the
vessel and rinsed his mouth and cleaned his nose. Then he
washed his face three times and his hands up to the elbow
three times; then wiped his head, then washed his feet three
times. Then he said that the Messenger of Allah (may peace be
upon him) had said: He who performed ablution like this
ablution of mine and offered two raklahs of prayer without
allowing his thoughts to be distracted, all his previous sins
would be expiated.
Chapter 4: THE MERIT OF WUDU AND THAT OF PRAYER AFTER IT
Bk 2, Number 0438:
Humran. the freed slave of 'Uthman. said: I heard from 'Uthman
b. 'Affan and he was in the courtyard of the mosque, when the
Mu'adhdhin (announcer of the prayer) came to him at the time
of afternoon prayer. So the ('Uthman) called for the ablution
water and performed ablution and then said: By Allah, I am
narrating to you a hadith. If there were not a verse in the
Book of Allah, I would have never narrated it to you. I heard
Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) say: If a Muslim
performs ablution and does it well and offers prayer, all his
(sins) daring the period from one prayer to another would be
pardoned by Allah.
Bk 2, Number 0439:

chain of transmitters and in the hadith of Abu Usama the words
are:" He who performed the ablution well and then offered the
obligatory prayer."

Humran reported when 'Uthman performed ablution he said: By
Allah, I am narrating to you a hadith had there not been this
verse in the Book of Allah. I would not have narrated it to
you. Verily I heard the Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon
him) say: Not a person is there who performed ablution, and
did it well, then offered prayer, but his sins (which he
committed) were not pardoned between the prayer that he
offered and the next one. 'Urwa said: The verse is this:"
Those who suppress the clear proofs and the guidance which We
have sent down"... to His words:" the Cursers" (ii. 15).
Bk 2, Number 0441:

(may peace be upon him) say: When the time for a prescribed
prayer comees, if any Muslim perform ablution well and offers
his prayer) with humility and bowing, it will be an expiation
for his past sins, so long as he has not committed a major
sin; and this applies to for all times.

Humran, the freed slave of 'Uthman reported: I brought for
Uthman b. 'Affan the ablution water. He performed ablution and
then said: Verily the people narrate from the Messenger of
Allah (may peace be upon him) a hadith. I do not know what
these are. but (I know this fact) that I saw the Messenger of
Allah (may peace be upon him) perform ablution like this
ablution of mine and then he said: He who performed ablution
like this, all his previous sins would be expiated and his
prayer and going towards the mosque would have an extra
reward. In the tradition narrated by Ibn 'Abda (the words
are):" I came to Uthman and he performed ablution."

and said: Should I not show you the ablution performed by
Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him)? And he then washed

added in his narration the words:" There were with him (with
Uthman) Companions of Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon
him)."
Bk 2, Number 0444:
Humran b. Abin reported: I used to fetch water for 'Uthman for
his purification. Never was there a day that he did not take a
bath with a small quantity of water. And Uthman said: The
Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him) at the time of our
returning from our prayer told us (certain things pertaining
to purification). Mis'ar said: I find that it was afternoon
prayer. He said: I do not know whether I should tell you a
thing or keep quiet. We said: Messenger of Allah, tell us if
it is good and if it is otherwise, Allah and His Apostle know
better. Upon this he said: A Muslim who purifies (himself) and
completes purification as enjoined upon him by Allah and then
offers the prayers, that will be expiatious (of his sins he
committed) between these (prayers).
Bk 2, Number 0445:

Abu Burda in this very mosque during the governorship of Bishr
that 'Uthman b. Alfan said: The Messenger of Allah (may peace
be upon him) observed: He who completed ablution as Allah, the
Exalted, enjoined upon him, his obligatory prayers would be
explatious (for his minor sins that he would commit) during
(the interval) between them. This hadith is transmitted by Ibn
Mu'adh, and in the hadith narrated by Ghundar, the words"
during the governorship of Bishr" are omitted and there is no

'Uqba b. 'Amir reported: We were entrusted with the task of
tending the camels. On my turn when I came back in the evening
after grazing them in the pastures, I found Allah's Messenger
(may peace be upon him) stand and address the people. I heard
these words of his: If any Muslim performs ablution well, then
stands and prays two rak'ahs setting about them with his heart
as well as his face, Paradise would be guaranteed to him. I
said: What a fine thing is this! And a narrator who was before
me said: The first was better than even this. When I cast a
glance, I saw that it was 'Umair who said: I see that you have
just come and observed: If anyone amongst you performs the
ablution, and then completes the ablution well and then says:
I testify that there is no god but Allah and that Muhammad is
the servant of Allah and His Messenger, the eight gates of
Paradise would be opened for him and he may enter by whichever
of them he wishes.

Ibn Abbas reported: The Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon
him) happened to pass by two graves and said: They (their
occupants) are being tormented, but they are not tormented for
a grievous sin. One of them carried tales and the other did
not keep himself safe from being defiled by urine. He then
called for a fresh twig and split it into two parts, and
planted them on each grave and then said: Perhaps, their
punishment way be mitigated as long as these twigs remain
fresh.
Bk 2, Number 0576:
This hadith is transmitted from A'mash by Abmad b. Yusuf
al−Azdi, Mu'alla b. Asad, Abd al−Wahid, Sulaiman with the same
chain of transmitters but for the words:" The other did not
keep himself safe from being defiled by urine."
