Hadith on Wudu in General

1. "Yahya related to me from Malik from al-Ala Ibn Abd ar-Rahman from his father from Abu Hurayra that the Messenger of Allah, May Allan bless him and grant him peace, went to the burial grounds and said, "Peace be upon you, home of people who believe! We shall be among you, Allah willing. I wish that I had seen our brothers!" The people with him said, "Messenger of Allah! Are we not your brothers?" "No," he said, "You are my companions. Our brothers are those who have not yet come. And I will precede them to the Hawd. (The Hawd: the watering place of the prophet, May Allah bless hi. And grant him peace, from which he will give go the people of his community on the day of rising.)" They asked hi,, "Messenger of Allah! How will you recognise those of your community who come after you?"

     He said, "Doesn't a man who has horses with white legs and white blazes on their foreheads among totally black horses recognise which ones are his own?". They said, "Of course, Messenger of Allah." He went on, "Even so will they come on the day of rising with white marks on their foreheads, hands, and feet from Wudu and I will precede them to the Hawd. Some men will be driven away from the Hawd as if they were straying camels and I shall call out to them, 'Sill to not come? Will you not come? Will you not come?' And someone will say, 'They changed things after you,' so I shall say, 'The. Away with them, away with them, away with them!'.""

2. "Yahya related to me from Malik from Hisham Ibn Urwa from his father from the Humran, the Marla of Uthman Ibn Affan, that Uthman Ibn Affan was once sitting on the Maqa'id (the benches surrounding the Madina Mosque or else a stone near Uthman Ibn Affan's house where he sat to discuss with people), when the muadhdhin came and told him that it was time for the asr prayer. He called for water and did Wudu. Then he said, "By you if it were not in the Book of Allah. I heard the Messenger of Allah, May Allah bless him and grant him peace, say, 'If a man does Wudu, and makes sure he does it correctly, and then does the prayer, he will be forgiven everything that he does between then and the time when he prays the next prayer.',

    Yahya said that Malik said, 'I believe he meant this ayat - 'Establish prayer at the two ends of the day and in some watches of the night. Good actions take away wrong actions. That is a reminder for those who remember.'" (Sura 11 ayat 114)"

3. "Yahya related to me from Malik from Zayd Ibn Aslam from Ata Ibn Yasar from Abdullah as-Sanabihi that the Messenger of Allah, May Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, "A trusting Slave does Wudu and as he rinses his mouth the wrong actions leave it. As he cleans his nose the wrong actions leave it. As he washes his face, the wrong actions leave it, even from underneath his eyelashes. As he washes his hands, the wrong actions leave them, even from underneath his fingernails. As he wipes his head the wrong actions leave it, even from his ears. And as he washes his feet the wrong actions leave them, even from underneath the toenails of both his feet." He added. "Then his walking to the mosque and his prayer are an extra reward for him.""

4. "Yahya related to me from Malik that he had heard that the Messanger of Allah, May Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, "Try to go straight, although you will not be able to do so. Act, and the best of your actions is the prayer. And only a mumin is constant in his Wudu.""

Things Which Do Not Break Wudu (As Reported in the Hadiths)

1. "Yahya related to me from Malik from Muhammad Ibn 'Umara fro, Muhammad Ibn Ibrahim that the mother of the son of Ibrahim Ibn Abd ar-Rahman Ibn Awful questioned Umm Salama, the wife of the prophet, May Allah bless him and grant him peace, and said, "I am a woman who wears a long skirt and (sometimes) I walk in dirty places." Umm Salama replied, "The Messenger of Allah, May Allah bless him and grant hK peace, said 'What follows (I.e., clean places) purifies it'.""

2. Yahya related to me from Malik that he saw Rabi'a Ibn Abd ar-Rahman vomit several times she. He was in the mosque and he did not leave, nor did he do Wudu before he prayed. 

Yahya said that Malik was asked whether a man who vomited food had to do Wudu before he prayed and he said, "He does not have to do Wudu, but he should rinse the inside of his mouth and wash his mouth out."

3. "Yahya related to me from Malik from Nafi' that Abdullah Ibn Umaru prepared the body of one of Sa'id Ibn Zayd's sons for burial and carried it and then entered the mosque and prayed without doing Wudu.

Yahya said that Malik was asked whether it was necessary to do Wudu because of regurgitating undigested food and he said, "No, Wudu is not necessary, but the mouth should be rinsed."

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.
