الوُضوءُ Ablution

1ـ رسولُ اللهِ‏ِ (صَلَّيَ اللهُ عَلَيهِ وَ آلِهِ): الوُضوءُ نِصفُ الإيمانِ.

1– The Prophet (SAWA) said, ‘Ablution is half of faith.’[Bihar al-Anwar, v. 80, p. 238, no. 12]

 

2ـ رسولُ اللهِ (صَلَّيَ اللهُ عَلَيهِ وَ آلِهِ): مَن أسبَغَ الوُضوءَ في البَردِ الشَّديدِ كانَ لَهُ مِن الأجرِ كِفلانِ، ومَن أسبَغَ الوُضوءَ في الحَرِّ الشَّديدِ كانَ لَهُ أجرُ كِفلٍ.

2– The Prophet (SAWA) said, ‘He who performs the ablution in the freezing cold weather is given twice the reward, and he who performs the ablution in the extreme heat is given a single share of the reward.’[Kanz al-`Ummal, no. 26059]

 

3ـ رسولُ اللهِ (صَلَّيَ اللهُ عَلَيهِ وَ آلِهِ): إذا تَوَضَّأَ الرّجُلُ المُسلِمُ خَرَجَتْ خَطاياهُ مِن سَمعِهِ وبَصَرِهِ ويَدَيهِ ورِجلَيهِ، فإن قَعَدَ قَعَدَ مَغفوراً لَهُ.

3– The Prophet (SAWA) said, ‘When the Muslim man performs the ablution, mistakes committed by his hearing, his sight, his hands and his feet leave him so that when he sits, he sits forgiven.’[Kanz al-`Ummal, no. 26031]

 

4ـ رسولُ اللهِ (صَلَّيَ اللهُ عَلَيهِ وَ آلِهِ): إذا تَوَضّأَ العَبدُ تَحاطُّ عَنهُ ذُنوبُهُ كما تَحاطُّ وَرَقُ هذهِ الشَّجَرَةِ .

4– The Prophet (SAWA) said, ‘When the servant performs the ablution, his sins shed away from him just as leaves shed from a tree.’[Kanz al-`Ummal, no. 26030]

 

5ـ الإمامُ عليٌّ (عَلَيهِ الّسَلامُ): مَن أحسَنَ الطَّهورَ ثُمّ مَشى إلَى المَسجِدِ، فهُو في صَلاةٍ ما لَم يُحدِثْ.

5– Imam Ali (AS) said, ‘He who performs his ablution as best as he can and then walks to the mosque [is considered to be] in a state of prayer as long as he does not nullify it.’[Bihar al-Anwar, v. 80, p. 237, no. 11]

 

6ـ الإمامُ الباقرُ (عَلَيهِ الّسَلامُ): لاصَلاةَ إلّا بِطَهورٍ.

6– Imam al-Baqir (AS) said, ‘There is no prayer without ablution.’[al-Faqih, v. 1, p. 58, no. 129]
