English translation

131. It was narrated from 'Amr bin 'Âmir that Anas mentioned: "The Messenger of Allâh ﷺ was brought a small vessel (of water) and he performed Wudû'." I said: "Did the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ perform Wudû' for every prayer?" He said: "Yes." He said: "What about you?" He said: "We used to pray all the prayers so long as we did not commit Hadath." He said: "And we used to pray all the prayers with (one) Wudû'." (Hasan)

Arabic text

131 - أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْأَعْلَى قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا خَالِدٌ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ عَامِرٍ، عَنْ أَنَسٍ أَنَّهُ ذَكَرَ: أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أُتِيَ بِإِنَاءٍ صَغِيرٍ فَتَوَضَّأَ، قُلْتُ أَكَانَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَتَوَضَّأُ لِكُلِّ صَلَاةٍ؟ قَالَ: «نَعَمْ» قَالَ: فَأَنْتُمْ؟ قَالَ: «كُنَّا نُصَلِّي الصَّلَوَاتِ مَا لَمْ نُحْدِثْ». قَالَ: «وَقَدْ كُنَّا نُصَلِّي الصَّلَوَاتِ بِوُضُوءٍ»

Commentary

Allâh's Messenger ﷺ did not always perform a new ablution for every prayer. Occasionally, he performed several prayers with the same ablution - as will be mentioned in upcoming Ahâdith. Generally, however, he would perform a fresh ablution for each prayer, and he ﷺ would do so, not just to become clean, but also to gain rewards from Allâh.
