English translation

61. 'Alī bin Abī Tālib, may Allāh be pleased with him, narrated that the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: "The key to prayer is purification, and its sacredness (begins) with the Takbīr, and its release is the Taslīm." (Ḥasan)

Arabic text

61 - حَدَّثَنَا عُثْمَانُ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا وَكِيعٌ، عَنْ سُفْيَانَ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَقِيلٍ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ ابْنِ الْحَنَفِيَّةِ، عَنْ عَلِيٍّ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ، قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «مِفْتَاحُ الصَّلَاةِ الطُّهُورُ، وَتَحْرِيمُهَا التَّكْبِيرُ، وَتَحْلِيلُهَا التَّسْلِيمُ»

Commentary

If one breaks Wudū' in the course of Ṣalāt, one shall leave the prayer and perform Wudū' all over again.
