665. It was narrated from Anas that a man came to the Prophet ﷺ; he had performed ablution and has missed a spot the size of a fingernail where water had not reached. The Prophet ﷺ said to him: 'Go back and perform ablution properly.'" (Sahih)

Arabic text

665 - حَدَّثَنَا حَرْمَلَةُ بْنُ يَحْيَى قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ وَهْبٍ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا جَرِيرُ بْنُ حَازِمٍ، عَنْ قَتَادَةَ، عَنْ أَنَسٍ، أَنَّ رَجُلًا أَتَى النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، وَقَدْ تَوَضَّأَ وَتَرَكَ مَوْضِعَ الظُّفْرِ، لَمْ يُصِبْهُ الْمَاءُ، فَقَالَ لَهُ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ «ارْجِعْ، فَأَحْسِنْ وُضُوءَكَ» حَدَّثَنَا

Commentary

If a dry spot from essential of washing during ablution is spotted before going for prayer, then the prayer must be repeated. In case it was discovered after the prayer then, as explained in the next Hadīth, both the ablution and the prayer have to be done again.
