Narrated ‘Abdullah bin ‘Amr:
The Prophet remained behind us on a journey. He joined us while we were performing ablution
for the ‘Asr prayer which was over-due and we were just passing wet hands over our feet (not wash –
ing them thoroughly) so he addressed us in a loud voice saying twice orthriae, “Save your heels from
the fire.”

them thrice and then put his right hand in the water container and rinsed his mouth and washed his
nose by putting water in it and then blowing it out. Then he washed his face thrice and (then) fore –
arms up to the elbows thrice, then passed his wet hands over his head and then washed each foot
thrice. After that ‘Uthman said, “I saw the Prophet performing ablution like this of mine, and he said,
‘If anyone performs ablution like that of mine and offers a two-rak’at prayer during which he does
not think of anything else (not related to the present prayer) then his past sins will be forgiven. ‘

Volume 1, Book 4, Number 167:
Narrated ‘Ubaid Ibn Juraij:
I asked ‘Abdullah bin ‘Umar, “O Abu ‘Abdur-Rahman! I saw you doing four things which I never
saw being done by anyone of you companions?” ‘Abdullah bin ‘Umar said, “What are those, O Ibn
Juraij?” I said, “I never saw you touching any corner of the Ka’ba except these (two) facing south (Ye –
men) and I saw you wearing shoes made of tanned leather and dyeing your hair with Hinna; (a kind
of dye). I also noticed that whenever you were in Mecca, the people assume l,hram on seeing the new
moon crescent (1st of Dhul-Hijja) while you did not assume the Ihlal (Ihram)–(Ihram is also called
Ihlal which means ‘Loud calling’ because a Muhrim has to recite Talbiya aloud when assuming the
state of Ihram)–till the 8th of Dhul-Hijja (Day of Tarwiya). ‘Abdullah replied, “Regarding the
corners of Ka’ba, I never saw Allah’s Apostle touching except those facing south (Yemen) and re –
garding the tanned leather shoes, no doubt I saw Allah’s Apostle wearing non-hairy shoes and he
used to perform ablution while wearing the shoes (i.e. wash his feet and then put on the shoes). So I
love to wear similar shoes. And about the dyeing of hair with Hinna; no doubt I saw Allah’s Apostle
dyeing his hair with it and that is why I like to dye (my hair with it). Regarding Ihlal, I did not see Al –
lah’s Apostle assuming Ihlal till he set out for Hajj (on the 8th of Dhul-Hijja).”

Volume 1, Book 4, Number 170:
Narrated Anas bin Malik:
saw Allah’s Apostle when the ‘Asr prayer was due and the people searched for water to perform
ablution but they could not find it. Later on (a pot full of) water for ablution was brought to Allah’s
Apostle . He put his hand in that pot and ordered the people to perform ablution from it. I saw the
water springing out from underneath his fingers till all of them performed the ablution (it was one
of the miracles of the Prophet).
