His teachings on ablution (Wudhu') [5]

- Rubbed the internal and external parts of their ears with his head.

- Washing his feet when he was not wearing boots or stockings.

- Your ablution was in sequence and uninterruptible.

- Began his ablution saying "Bismillah" and concluded it: " I bear witness that there is no deity but Allah, alone, without partner, and I bear witness that Muhammad is his slave and Messenger." "Oh Allah, make me of those who constantly repent and those who are purified continuously". [7] Also said: "Oh Allah, you are worthy of all glorification and praise." I bear witness that there is no God but you. I seek your forgiveness and I repent to You. "

His teachings about wiping over footwear [9]

 

- Authentic narratives indicate that the Prophet (pbuh) spent wiping over leather footwear to perform ablution, either to be resident or traveling. He specified a limit of one day and one night for residents, and three days and three nights for travelers.

- He used to wiping over the top of the shoes or socks. (Also pass a wet hand on the turban only or along with your forehead.)

- He was acting according to the condition of his feet: if I was wearing shoes or socks went wet hand over them, and if their feet were bare washed them.

 

His teachings about Tayammum [10]

 

- He used to do tayammum on the type of terrain on which he was praying, either dust, dirt or sand, and said: "wherever someone of my Ummah is when the sentence has to be done, he has his mosque and their source of purification". [11]

- He did not use to carry sand with him on long trips or ordered his companions to do.

- No real narrative shows he did a tayammum for prayer and ordered that this be done. He simply considered tayammum as a substitute for the ablution.

- Used to do tayammum by striking the floor with your hands once to then pass them both for the face like the hands. [12]
