Hadith on Wudu: Ablution required before prayer

Abu Huraira reported: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said, “Prayer is not accepted from one in a state of minor impurity until he renews ablution.” A man from Hadhramaut said, “Abu Huraira, what is minor impurity?” Abu Huraira said, “It is passing wind or gas.”
