English translation

512. It was narrated that Abu Ghutaif Al-Hudhali said: "I was listening to 'Abdullâh bin 'Umar bin Khattâb in the mosque, and when the time for prayer came, he got up, performed ablution, and offered prayer, then he went back to where he had been sitting. When the time for 'Asr (Afternoon prayer) came, he got up, performed ablution, and offered prayer, then he went back to where he had been sitting. When the time for Maghrib (Sunset prayer) came, he got up, performed ablution, and offered prayer, then he went back to where he had been sitting. I said: 'May Allāh improve you (i.e., your condition) Is it obligatory or Sunnah to perform ablution for every prayer?' He said: 'Did you notice that?' I said: 'Yes.' He said: 'No (it is not obligatory). If I perform ablution for Morning prayer I can perform all of the prayers with this ablution, so long as I do not get impure. But I heard the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ say: "Whoever performs ablution while he is pure, he will have ten merits," so I wanted to earn the merits.'" (Da'if)

512 - حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ يَزِيدَ الْمُقْرِئُ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ زِيَادٍ، عَنْ أَبِي غُطَيْفٍ الْهُذَلِيِّ قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ عَبْدَ اللَّهِ بْنَ عُمَرَ بْنِ الْخَطَّابِ فِي مَجْلِسِهِ فِي الْمَسْجِدِ، فَلَمَّا حَضَرَتِ الصَّلَاةُ قَامَ فَتَوَضَّأَ وَصَلَّى، ثُمَّ عَادَ إِلَى مَجْلِسِهِ، فَلَمَّا حَضَرَتِ الْعَصْرُ قَامَ فَتَوَضَّأَ وَصَلَّى، ثُمَّ عَادَ إِلَى مَجْلِسِهِ، فَلَمَّا حَضَرَتِ الْمَغْرِبُ قَامَ فَتَوَضَّأَ وَصَلَّى، ثُمَّ عَادَ إِلَى مَجْلِسِهِ، فَقُلْتُ: أَصْلَحَكَ اللَّهُ، أَفَرِيضَةٌ، أَمْ سُنَّةٌ الْوُضُوءُ عِنْدَ كُلِّ صَلَاةٍ، قَالَ: أَوَفَطِنْتَ إِلَيَّ، وَإِلَى هَذَا مِنِّي؟ فَقُلْتُ: نَعَمْ، فَقَالَ:، لَا لَوْ تَوَضَّأْتُ لِصَلَاةِ الصُّبْحِ، لَصَلَّيْتُ بِهِ الصَّلَوَاتِ كُلَّهَا، مَا لَمْ أُحْدِثْ، وَلَكِنِّي سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ: «مَنْ تَوَضَّأَ عَلَى كُلِّ طُهْرٍ، فَلَهُ عَشْرُ حَسَنَاتٍ، وَإِنَّمَا رَغِبْتُ فِي الْحَسَنَاتِ»
