One day, an old bedouin from the
desert visited their home in
Madinah. The old man was new to
Islam and did not know much about
his religion.
When it was time for
Salah
and the
old man began to perform
Wudu’
, it
became apparent that he did not
know how to do it properly. He
washed his feet first and then gar-
gled his mouth. He seemed to for-
get that the arms must be washed
upto the elbows and he simply
wiped his face instead of washing it
three times. This was not at all cor-
rect and the two boys, who were sit-
ting close by, could see that.
Hasan [r] and Husayn [r] both knew
that
Wudu’
must be performed cor-
rectly in order to pray. If the
Wudu’
was not done properly then the
Salah
too would not be acceptable
and all the reward would be lost.
