The Book of Purification and its Sunnah

"The Prophet came to us and we gave him water to perform a bath." Then we brought him a Warshiyyah cloth, and he wrapped himself in it. It is as if I can see the marks of the Wars on the folds of his stomach."

"I brought a piece of cloth (for drying) to the Messenger of Allahwhen he performed a bath to cleanse himself from sexual impurity. He refused it and began to shake off water."

The Messenger of Allah performed ablution, then he turned inside out the woolen garment that he was wearing and wiped his face with it.

The Prophet said: "Whoever performs ablution and does it well, then says three times: 'Ashhadu an la ilaha illallah wahdahu la sharika lahu, wa ashhadu anna Muhammadan `abduhu wa rasuluhu (I bear witness that none has the right to be worshipped but Allah alone, with no partner, and I bear witness that Muhammad is His slave and His Messenger),' eight gates of Paradise will be opened for him; whichever one he wants he may enter." (Da'if)Another chain with similar wording.

"The Messenger of Allah said: 'There is no Muslim who performs ablution and does it well, then says: Ashhadu an la ilaha illallah, wa ashhadu anna Muhammadan `abduhu wa rasuluhu (I bear witness that none has the right to be worshipped but Allah, and I bear witness that Muhammad is His slave and Messenger),' (except that) eight gates of Paradise will be opened for him, and he will enter through whichever one he wants.'"

"The Messenger of Allah came to us, and we brought water out to him in a vessel of brass, and he performed ablution with it."

She had a tub of brass. She said: "I used to comb the hair of the Messenger of Allah in it."

The Prophet performed ablution using (the water in) a vessel made of brass.

"The Messenger of Allah would fall asleep until he was breathing deeply, then he would get up and offer the prayer, and he did not perform ablution." (Hasan)Tanafisi said: "Waki` said: 'She meant while he was prostrating (he would sleep).'"

The Messenger of Allah slept until he was breathing deeply, then he got up and prayed.

"He would sleep like that while he was sitting up."

The Messenger of Allah said: "The eye is the leather strap (that ties up) the anus, so whoever falls asleep, let him perform ablution."

"The Messenger of Allah used to command us not to take off our leather socks for three days except in the case of sexual impurity, but not in the case of defecation, urine or sleep (i.e. during travel)."

"The Messenger of Allah said: 'If anyone of you touches his penis, let him perform ablution.'"

"The Messenger of Allah said: 'If anyone of you touches his penis, then he has to perform ablution.'"

"I heard the Messenger of Allah say: 'Whoever touches his sexual organ then let him perform ablution."

"I heard the Messenger of Allah say: 'Whoever touches his sexual organ, let him perform ablution.'"

"I heard the Messenger of Allah being asked about touching the penis. He said: 'That does not require ablution, because it is a part of you (your body).'"

"The Messenger of Allah was asked about touching the penis and he said: 'Rather it is a piece of you (your body).'"

The Prophet said: "Perform ablution after (eating) that which has been changed by fir." Ibn 'Abbas said: "Should I do ablution after (touching) hot water?" Abu Hurairah said: "O son of my brother, when I narrate a Hadith of the Messenger of Allah to you, then do not try to make examples for it."
