Hadrat Umm Salama (Radi Allahu Ta’ala Anha) narrated that the Prophet used to perform two Rakaats after Witar Salaah. Hadrat Aishah (Radi Allahu Ta’ala Anhu) and Hadrat Abu Umama (Radi Allahu Ta’ala Anha) have also narrated a similar tradition. [Ma’rif - ul- Hadis]
After Witar Salaah, the Prophet used to offer two simple rakahs of Salaah and used to recite surah al Zalzal (XCIX) and surah al-Kafirun (CIX). [lbn Majah]
Hadrat Umm Habba (Radi Allahu Ta’ala Anhu) narrated that the Messenger of ALLAH said: A house will be built in paradise for him who performs Salaah in a day and a night twelve rak’ahs, (over and above the obligatory Salaah) four before and two after the noon Salaah (Zuhr Salaah) two rakahs after Maghrib Salaah and two after lsha Salaah and two rakahs before Fajr Salaah. [Tirmizi, Ma’rif -uI- Hadis]
Sunan – Fajr Salaah
Hadrat Aishah (Radi Allahu Ta’ala Anha) narrated that the Messenger of ALLAH said: The two rakahs, at dawn Salaah (Fair Salaah) are better than this world and what it contains. [Muslim]
Hadrat ‘Abdullah bin Qurt (Radi Allaahu Ta’ala Anhu) narrated that the Messenger of ALLAH said: “The first of his deeds for which a man will be taken into account on the day of resurrection will be Salaah. If it is sound, all his other deeds will be taken in the same fashion but if it is unsound the rest of his actions will be taken as deficient. [Tibarani In Ausat-hayatul Muslim]
Hadrat Abu Said al-Khudri (Radi Allaahu Ta’ala Anhu) narrated that from amongst the Companions of the Messenger of ALLAH two persons went out on journey, and when the time for Salaah approached, having no water with them, they performed ablution with clean earth and then performed Salaah. Immediately after that, they found water and one of them repeated the Salaah after performing ablution with water, but the other did not.
Hadrat Abu Hurairah (Radi Allaahu Ta’ala Anhu) narrated that the Prophet (Sallallahu Alaihi Wa Sallam) said: “It is the duty of every Muslim to take bath once a week (i.e. on Friday), washing his head and body.” [Bukhari, Muslim, Marif -ul- Hadis]
Hadrat Samura bin Jundab (Radi Allaahu Ta’ala Anha) narrated that the Messenger of ALLAH said: If any one performs ablution on Friday, well and good; but if any one takes bath, bathing is more excellent. [Ahmad, Abu Dawud, Tirmizi, Marif -ul- Hadis]
The intention is that the Prophet (Sallallahu Alaihi Wa Sallam) also used to purify himself with water after using the mud etc. after that he would first rub his hands on the ground and wash them and then perform WUDU (ablution). As is clear from this tradition that it was usual with the Prophet (Sallallahu Alaihi Wa Sallam) that he would perform WUDU (ablution) after answering a call of nature and doing ISTINJA. But in order to indicate that performing WUDU (ablution) is only a commendable and excellent practice he has occasionally omitted it, as is related in Sunan Abu Dawud and Sunan Ibn MAJAH on the basis of the following traditions from Hadrat Aishah.
Hadrat Abdullah bin Mas’ud (Radi Allaahu Ta’ala Anhu) narrated that the Apostle of ALLAH (Sallallahu Alaihi Wa Sallam) said, “On the day of resurrection, the feet of the son of Adam will not move away till he is questioned about five matters:
1. On what he spent his life;
2. In what he made his youth pass away;
3. Whence he acquired his property;
4. On what he spent it and
5. What he did regarding what he knew; [Tirmizi Ma’arif -ul- Hadis]
Hadrat Abu Ayyub Ansari (Radi Allaahu Ta’ala Anhu) narrated that a man came to the Messenger of ALLAH and requested him for some advice but that it should be brief (so that it may be easy for him to remember it). He said,
(Firstly) when you stand up for Salaah then say the Salaah just like a person who is about to bid farewell to everything and to say Good Bye to everybody (i.e. the Salaah should be like that of a person who is about to breathe his last). You should say every Salaah in the same manner,
Hadrat Mu’az -bin- Jabal (Radi Allaahu Ta’ala Anhu) narrated that the Messenger of ALLAH recommended ten things to me saying:
(1) Do not associate anything with ALLAH even if you are put to death;
(2) Do not be disobedient to your parents, even if they command you to quit your family and property;
(3) Do not deliberately neglect to observe a compulsorily prescribed Salaah, for one who deliberately neglects a comulsorily prescribed Salaah, will have ALLAH’s protection removed from him;
(4) Do not drink wine, it is the root cause of all evils (so it has been called mother of all evils);
Hadrat Abdullah bin Masud (Radi Allaahu Ta’ala Anhu) narrated that the Messenger of ALLAH said,
“If through fear of ALLAH tears, even to the extent of a fly’s head, fall from any believer’s eyes and drop on some part of his cheek, he will be kept away from hell by ALLAH.
[lbn Majah, Ma’arif-ul-Hadis]
