Purification

إِنِّي لَا أَمْتَنِعُ مِنْ طَعَامٍ طَعِمَ مِنْهُ السِّنَّوْرُ وَ لَا مِنْ شَرَابٍ شَرِبَ مِنْهُ. وَ لَا يَجُوزُ الْوُضُوءُ بِسُؤْرِ الْيَهُودِيِّ وَ النَّصْرَانِيِّ وَ وَلَدِ الزِّنَا وَ الْمُشْرِكِ وَ كُلِّ مَنْ خَالَفَ الْإِسْلَامَ- وَ أَشَدُّ مِنْ ذَلِكَ سُؤْرُ النَّاصِبِ وَ مَاءُ الْحَمَّامِ سَبِيلُهُ سَبِيلُ الْمَاءِ الْجَارِي إِذَا كَانَتْ لَهُ مَادَّةٌ[5]

Hadith.12 - Imam Jafar ibn Muhammad Al-Sadiq (as) said: "Regarding water into which animals urinate, dogs drink, or someone performs ghusl (ritual washing after major impurity): "If it reaches the amount of a kurr (a specific measure), then nothing can make it impure”.

كَانَ بَنُو إِسْرَائِيلَ إِذَا أَصَابَ أَحَدَهُمْ قَطْرَةُ بَوْلٍ قَرَضُوا لُحُومَهُمْ بِالْمَقَارِيضِ[1] وَ قَدْ وَسَّعَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ عَلَيْكُمْ بِأَوْسَعِ مَا بَيْنَ السَّمَاءِ وَ الْأَرْضِ وَ جَعَلَ لَكُمُ الْمَاءَ طَهُوراً فَانْظُرُوا كَيْفَ تَكُونُونَ[2]. فَإِنْ دَخَلَتْ حَيَّةٌ فِي حُبِّ مَاءٍ وَ خَرَجَتْ مِنْهُ صُبَّ مِنَ الْمَاءِ[3] ثَلَاثُ أَكُفٍّ وَ اسْتُعْمِلَ الْبَاقِي وَ قَلِيلُهُ وَ كَثِيرُهُ

He then called for a bowl containing some water and placed it in front of him. He rolled up his sleeves, dipped his right hand into the water, and said: "This is if the h

وَ رُوِيَ‌ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ص تَوَضَّأَ ثُمَّ مَسَحَ عَلَى نَعْلَيْهِ‌[2] فَقَالَ لَهُ الْمُغِيرَةُ أَ نَسِيتَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ- قَالَ بَلْ أَنْتَ نَسِيتَ‌[3] هَكَذَا أَمَرَنِي رَبِّي‌[4].

Hadith.75 - It was narrated that the Messenger of Allah (sw) performed wudu and then wiped over his sandals. Al-Mughirah said to him: "Did you forget, O’ Messenger of Allah (sw)?" He (sw) replied: "No, rather it is you who has forgotten. This is how my Lord (azj) commanded me."

وَ اللَّهِ مَا كَانَ وُضُوءُ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص إِلَّا مَرَّةً مَرَّةً وَ تَوَضَّأَ النَّبِيُّ ص مَرَّةً مَرَّةً فَقَالَ هَذَا وُضُوءٌ لَا يَقْبَلُ اللَّهُ الصَّلَاةَ إِلَّا بِهِ[1]. فَأَمَّا الْأَخْبَارُ الَّتِي رُوِيَتْ فِي أَنَّ الْوُضُوءَ مَرَّتَيْنِ مَرَّتَيْنِ فَأَحَدُهَا

Hadith.76 - Imam Jafar ibn Muhammad Al-Sadiq (as) said: "By Allah (swt), the ablution of the Messenger of Allah (sw) was performed only once for each part, and The Prophet (sw) performed wudu once for each action." Imam (as) said: "This is an ablution that Allah (swt) does not accept the prayer without it”.

«فَرَضَ اَللَّهُ اَلْوُضُوءَ وَاحِدَةً وَاحِدَةً وَ وَضَعَ رَسُولُ اَللَّهِ صَلَّى اَللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَ آلِهِ لِلنَّاسِ اِثْنَتَيْنِ اِثْنَتَيْنِ.

"Allah (swt) made ablution (wudu) obligatory once for each action, but the Messenger of Allah (sw) prescribed it twice for the people”.

وَ قَدْ رُوِيَ‌ أَنَّ الْوُضُوءَ حَدٌّ مِنْ حُدُودِ اللَّهِ لِيَعْلَمَ اللَّهُ مَنْ يُطِيعُهُ وَ مَنْ‌ يَعْصِيهِ وَ أَنَّ الْمُؤْمِنَ لَا يُنَجِّسُهُ شَيْ‌ءٌ[1] وَ إِنَّمَا يَكْفِيهِ مِثْلُ الدَّهْنِ‌[2].

Hadith.78 - It has been narrated (by Imam Muhammad ibn Ali Al-Baqir (as) ) that: "Ablution is a limit set by Allah (swt) so that He may know who obeys Him and who disobeys Him. And a believer is not made impure by anything ; rather, something like oil is sufficient for him”.

مَنْ تَعَدَّى فِي وُضُوئِهِ كَانَ كَنَاقِضِهِ[3]

Hadith.79 - Imam Jafar ibn Muhammad Al-Sadiq (as) said: "Whoever exceeds the prescribed limits in his ablution (wudu) is like one who nullifies it”.

حَدَّثَنِي مَنْ سَمِعَ أَبَا عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ يَقُولُ: «إِنِّي لَأَعْجَبُ مِمَّنْ يَرْغَبُ أَنْ يَتَوَضَّأَ اِثْنَتَيْنِ اِثْنَتَيْنِ وَ قَدْ تَوَضَّأَ رَسُولُ اَللَّهِ صَلَّى اَللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَ آلِهِ اِثْنَتَيْنِ اِثْنَتَيْنِ فَإِنَّ اَلنَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اَللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَ آلِهِ كَانَ يُجَدِّدُ اَلْوُضُوءَ لِكُلِّ فَرِيضَةٍ وَ لِكُلِّ صَلاَةٍ.

Hadith.80 - In another narration with a broken chain, Amr ibn Abi al-Miqdam said: "I was informed by someone who heard Abu Abdullah (as) say: 'I am amazed at those who prefer to perform wudu twice, while the Messenger of Allah (sw) performed it twice. The Prophet (sw) would renew his ablution for each obligatory prayer

وَ رُوِيَ‌ أَنَّ تَجْدِيدَ الْوُضُوءِ لِصَلَاةِ الْعِشَاءِ يَمْحُو لَا وَ اللَّهِ وَ بَلَى وَ اللَّهِ.

Hadith.81 – (Imam Ali ibn Musa Ar-Ridha (as) ) narrated that: "Renewing wudu for the Isha prayer erases sins, by Allah (swt), indeed it does, by Allah (swt)."

وَ رُوِيَ فِي خَبَرٍ آخَرَ: «أَنَّ اَلْوُضُوءَ عَلَى اَلْوُضُوءِ نُورٌ عَلَى نُورٍ وَ مَنْ جَدَّدَ وُضُوءَهُ مِنْ غَيْرِ حَدَثٍ آخَرَ جَدَّدَ اَللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ تَوْبَتَهُ مِنْ غَيْرِ اِسْتِغْفَارٍ.

Hadith.82 - (Imam Jafar ibn Muhammad Al-Sadiq (as) ) narrated in another report that: "Ablution (wudu) upon wudu is light upon light, and whoever renews their wudu without having incurred a new state of impurity, Allah (swt), Mighty and Majestic, renews their repentance without requiring further forgiveness."

مَنْ تَوَضَّأَ مَرَّتَيْنِ لَمْ يُؤْجَرْ.

بَيْنَا أَمِيرُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ ع ذَاتَ يَوْمٍ جَالِسٌ مَعَ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ الْحَنَفِيَّةِ- إِذْ قَالَ لَهُ يَا مُحَمَّدُ- ائْتِنِي بِإِنَاءٍ مِنْ مَاءٍ أَتَوَضَّأْ لِلصَّلَاةِ فَأَتَاهُ مُحَمَّدٌ بِالْمَاءِ

Hadith.84 - Imam Jafar ibn Muhammad Al-Sadiq (as) said: "One day, The Commander of the Faithful (as) was sitting with Muhammad ibn al-Hanafiyyah when He said to him: 'O’ Muhammad, bring me a container of water so I can perform wudu for prayer.' Muhammad brought him the water, and he poured it with his right hand onto h

وَ كَانَ أَمِيرُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ ع- إِذَا تَوَضَّأَ لَمْ يَدَعْ أَحَداً يَصُبُّ عَلَيْهِ الْمَاءَ فَقِيلَ لَهُ يَا أَمِيرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ لِمَ لَا تَدَعُهُمْ يَصُبُّونَ عَلَيْكَ الْمَاءَ فَقَالَ لَا أُحِبُّ أَنْ أُشْرِكَ فِي صَلَاتِي أَحَداً[4] وَ قَالَ اللَّهُ تَبَارَكَ وَ تَعَالَى- فَمَنْ كانَ يَرْجُوا لِقاءَ رَبِّهِ فَلْيَعْمَلْ عَمَلًا صالِحاً وَ لا يُشْرِكْ بِعِبادَةِ رَبِّهِ أَحَداً.

Hadith.85 - It was noted that The Commander of the Faithful (as) would not allow anyone to pour water on him while performing wudu. When he was asked: "O’ Commander of the Faithful, why do you not let them pour water on you?" Imam (as) said: "I do not like to share my prayer with anyone”. He also recited the verse of A
