Hadiths: Catching A Raka'ah of the Prayer

1. Yahya related to me from Malik that he had heard that Abu Hurayra used to say, "Whoever catches the ruku has caught the Sajdah and whoever misses the recitation of the umm al-Qur'an has missed much good."

2. Yahya related to me from Malik from Nafi that Abdullah Ibn Umar Ibn Al-Khattab used to say, "If the ruku has passed you by, so has the Sajdah."

3. Yahya related to me from Malik from Ibn Shihab from Abu Salama Ibn Abd ar-Rahman from Abu Hurayra that the Messenger if Allah, May Allab bless him and grant him peace, said, "Whoever catches a rak'a of the prayer has caught the prayer."

The Wudu of a man who has been Asleep when he Gets Up to Pray (As Reported in Hadiths)

Here are a few hadiths about things to keep in mind - and what to do - when you want to perform Wudu when you get up to pray. This applies to anytime of the day (subh, and other times of the day). I believe they will help someone out there! Many of us just get to performing Wudu after we wake up, and I'm also guilty of this sometimes, but there are things we should do before we begin to perform Wudu. So, for you; yes, you! The confused one! This one is for you...:

1. "Yahya related to me from Malik from Abu'z-Zinad from Al-Araj from Abu Hurayra that the Messenger of Allah, May Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, "When you wake up from sleep to pray, wash your hands before you put them in the Wudu water, for you do not know where your hands have spent the night.""

2. "Yahya said that Malik said, "The situation with us is that one does not have to do Wudu for a nose-bleed, or for blood, or for pus issuing from the body. Only only has to do Wudu for impurities shock issue from the genitals or the anus or for sleep"

Yahya related to me from Malik from Nafi' that Ibn U at used to sleep sitting and then would pray without doing Wudu.
