said, "I have been ordered to prostrate on seven bodily parts: the forehead, and he pointed to his nose, the hands, the knees<br />

Hadith 1.186 Narrated by<br />

Amr<br />

My father saw 'Amr bin Abi Hasan asking 'Abdullah bin Zaid about the ablution of the Prophet. 'Abdullah<br />

bin Zaid asked for earthenware pot containing water and in front of them performed ablution like that of<br />

the Prophet. He poured water from the pot over his hand and washed his hands thrice and then he put his<br />

hands in the pot and rinsed his mouth and washed his nose by putting water in it and then blowing it out<br />

with three handfuls of water. Again he put his hand in the water and washed his face thrice and washed his<br />

forearms up to the elbows twice; and then put his hands in the water and then passed them over his head<br />

by bringing them to the front and then to the rear of the head once, and then he washed his feet up to the<br />

ankles.<br />

Al-Muwatta Hadith<br />

Hadith 2.32<br />

On Wudu inGeneral<br />

Yahya related to me from Malik from Suhayl ibn Abi Salih from his father from Abu Hurayra that the<br />

Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, "A muslim slave (or a trusting slave)<br />

does wudu and as he washes his face every wrong action he has seen with his eyes leaves with the water<br />

(or the last drop of water). As he washes his hands every wrong action he has done with his hands leaves<br />

with the water (orthe last drop of water). And as he washes his feet every wrong action his feet have<br />

walked to leaves with the water (or the last drop of water) so that he comes away purified of wrong<br />

actions."<br />

Fiqh-us-Sunnah<br />

Fiqh 1.113<br />

Woman's aurah & hijab<br />

There is no such dispute over what constitutes a woman's 'aurah. It is stated that her entire body is 'aurah and must be<br />

covered, except her hands and face. Says Allah in the Qur'an, "And to display of their adornment only that which is apparent<br />

(do not expose any adornment or beauty save the hands and face)." It has been authentically related from Ibn 'Abbas, Ibn<br />

'Umar and 'Aishah that the Prophet said, "Allah does not accept the prayer of an adult woman unless she is wearing a<br />

headcovering (khimar, hijab)." This is related by "the five," except for an-Nasa'i, and by Ibn Khuzaimah and al-Hakim. At-<br />

Tirmidhi grades it as hassan.<br />

It is related from Umm Salamah that she asked the Prophet, "Can a woman pray in a long shirt (like a night shirt) and<br />

headcovering without a loincloth?" He said, "If the shirt is long and flowing and covers the top of her feet." This is related by<br />

Abu Dawud. The scholars say it is sahih in mauqoof form (as a statement of Umm Salamah and not that of the Prophet.)<br />

It is also related that 'Aishah was asked, "In how many garments is a woman to pray?" She answered, "Ask 'Ali ibn Abu Talib<br />

and then return to me and tell me what he said." 'Ali's answer was, "In a headcover and a long flowing shirt." This was told to<br />

'Aishah and she said, "He has told the truth."<br />

The clothes worn must cover the 'aurah, even if they are tight enough to highlight those features. If the clothes are so thin that<br />

one's skin color can be seen, they are not suitable for prayer.<br />

HAND-HOLD:<br />

2:256 - Let there be no compulsion in religion. Truth stands out clear from error; whoever rejects<br />

evil and believes in Allah hath grasped the most trustworthy hand-hold that never breaks.<br />

And Allah heareth and knoweth all things. 300301<br />
