Abu Umamah (RA) narrates: Rasulullah (SAW)said: Whoever stands up to
perform his Wudhu, intending to offer Salah, then cleans his hands;
the sins of his two hands fallout with the first drop of water. Then,
when he rinses his mouth, and draws water into his noseand expels it;
the sins of his tongue and two lips fallout with the first drop of
water. Then, as he cleans his face, the sins of his hearing and seeing
fallout with the first drop (of water). Then, when he cleans his two
arms past the elbows, and his two feet past the ankles; he becomes
free of all his offences and sins, just as was his state, the day his
mother gave him birth. He(then) said: Then, when he stands for Salah;
Allah elevates his position, and if he (merely) sits (without standing
for Salah) even then his sitting is free of sins! Source: Musnad
Ahmad.
We take bath regularly to clean our body of dirts, but how many of us
offer regular prayers daily to clean the real dirts (sins)?
