الطُّهُورُ شَطْرُ الإِيمَانِ وَالْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ تَمْلأُ الْمِيزَانَ، وَسُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ وَالْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ تَمْلآنِ - أَوْ تَمْلأُ - مَا بَيْنَ السَّمَوَاتِ وَالأَرْضِ وَالصَّلاَةُ نُورٌ وَالصَّدَقَةُ بُرْهَانٌ وَالصَّبْرُ ضِيَاءٌ وَالْقُرْآنُ حُجَّةٌ لَكَ أَوْ عَلَيْكَ كُلُّ النَّاسِ يَغْدُو فَبَائِعٌ نَفْسَهُ فَمُعْتِقُهَا أَوْ مُوبِقُهَا
Purity is half of faith. Alhamdulillah fills the scale, and Subhanallah and Alhamdulillah fill what is between the heavens and the earth. Prayer is light, charity is proof, patience is brightness, and the Quran is an argument for you or against you. Every person goes out in the morning and sells himself, either setting himself free or ruining himself.
لاَ تُقْبَلُ صَلاَةٌ بِغَيْرِ طُهُورٍ وَلاَ صَدَقَةٌ مِنْ غُلُولٍ
No prayer is accepted without purification, and no charity from what was taken dishonestly.
مِفْتَاحُ الصَّلاَةِ الطُّهُورُ وَتَحْرِيمُهَا التَّكْبِيرُ وَتَحْلِيلُهَا التَّسْلِيمُ
The key to prayer is purification. Its opening is the takbir, and its close is the taslim.
إِذَا تَوَضَّأَ الْعَبْدُ الْمُسْلِمُ - أَوِ الْمُؤْمِنُ - فَغَسَلَ وَجْهَهُ خَرَجَ مِنْ وَجْهِهِ كُلُّ خَطِيئَةٍ نَظَرَ إِلَيْهَا بِعَيْنَيْهِ مَعَ الْمَاءِ - أَوْ مَعَ آخِرِ قَطْرِ الْمَاءِ - فَإِذَا غَسَلَ يَدَيْهِ خَرَجَ مِنْ يَدَيْهِ كُلُّ خَطِيئَةٍ كَانَ بَطَشَتْهَا يَدَاهُ مَعَ الْمَاءِ - أَوْ مَعَ آخِرِ قَطْرِ الْمَاءِ - فَإِذَا غَسَلَ رِجْلَيْهِ خَرَجَتْ كُلُّ خَطِيئَةٍ مَشَتْهَا رِجْلاَهُ مَعَ الْمَاءِ - أَوْ مَعَ آخِرِ قَطْرِ الْمَاءِ - حَتَّى يَخْرُجَ نَقِيًّا مِنَ الذُّنُوبِ
When a Muslim, or a believer, makes wudu and washes his face, every sin he looked at with his eyes leaves his face with the water, or with the last drop of water. When he washes his hands, every sin his hands did leaves his hands with the water, or with the last drop of water. When he washes his feet, every sin his feet walked to leaves with the water, or with the last drop of water, until he comes out cleansed of sins.
إِنَّ أُمَّتِي يُدْعَوْنَ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ غُرًّا مُحَجَّلِينَ مِنْ آثَارِ الْوُضُوءِ
My Ummah will be called on the Day of Resurrection with shining faces, hands and feet from the traces of wudu.
The longer version goes on to tell people to lengthen the shine. Several scholars, including Ibn Hajar, noted that this addition may be Abu Hurayrah's own words.
الْفِطْرَةُ خَمْسٌ ـ أَوْ خَمْسٌ مِنَ الْفِطْرَةِ ـ الْخِتَانُ، وَالاِسْتِحْدَادُ، وَنَتْفُ الإِبْطِ، وَتَقْلِيمُ الأَظْفَارِ، وَقَصُّ الشَّارِبِ
Five things are part of the fitrah: circumcision, shaving the pubic hair, plucking the armpit hair, clipping the nails and trimming the moustache.
لَوْلاَ أَنْ أَشُقَّ عَلَى أُمَّتِي ـ أَوْ عَلَى النَّاسِ ـ لأَمَرْتُهُمْ بِالسِّوَاكِ مَعَ كُلِّ صَلاَةٍ
Were it not that I would make it hard for my Ummah, or for the people, I would have ordered them to use the miswak with every prayer.
السِّوَاكُ مَطْهَرَةٌ لِلْفَمِ مَرْضَاةٌ لِلرَّبِّ
The miswak purifies the mouth and pleases the Lord.
وَإِذَا اسْتَيْقَظَ أَحَدُكُمْ مِنْ نَوْمِهِ فَلْيَغْسِلْ يَدَهُ
When one of you wakes up from sleep, let him wash his hand before putting it into the water for his wudu, for none of you knows where his hand spent the night.
إِنَّ اللَّهَ جَمِيلٌ يُحِبُّ الْجَمَالَ الْكِبْرُ بَطَرُ الْحَقِّ وَغَمْطُ النَّاسِ
(A man said: A person likes his clothes to be nice and his sandals to be nice. He said:) Allah is beautiful and loves beauty. Arrogance is rejecting the truth and looking down on people.
اتَّقُوا اللَّعَّانَيْنِ ... الَّذِي يَتَخَلَّى فِي طَرِيقِ النَّاسِ أَوْ فِي ظِلِّهِمْ
Beware of the two things that bring curses. (They asked: What are they? He said:) The one who relieves himself on people's paths or in their shade.
يُعَذَّبَانِ، وَمَا يُعَذَّبَانِ فِي كَبِيرٍ ... بَلَى، كَانَ أَحَدُهُمَا لاَ يَسْتَتِرُ مِنْ بَوْلِهِ، وَكَانَ الآخَرُ يَمْشِي بِالنَّمِيمَةِ
(He passed two graves and said:) They are being punished, and not for something hard to avoid ... Yes, one of them did not shield himself from his urine, and the other went about spreading gossip.
الإِيمَانُ بِضْعٌ وَسَبْعُونَ أَوْ بِضْعٌ وَسِتُّونَ شُعْبَةً فَأَفْضَلُهَا قَوْلُ لاَ إِلَهَ إِلاَّ اللَّهُ وَأَدْنَاهَا إِمَاطَةُ الأَذَى عَنِ الطَّرِيقِ وَالْحَيَاءُ شُعْبَةٌ مِنَ الإِيمَانِ
Faith has seventy-odd or sixty-odd branches. The highest of them is saying la ilaha illallah, and the lowest is removing something harmful from the road. And modesty is a branch of faith.
غُسْلُ يَوْمِ الْجُمُعَةِ وَاجِبٌ عَلَى كُلِّ مُحْتَلِمٍ
Bathing on Friday is a duty on everyone who has reached puberty.
How the schools read the word "duty" (wajib) here is explained in the guide below.
