“When one of you awakens in the morning for fasting…”
“When one of you awakens in the morning for fasting…”
“The example of the five prayers is that of a river running at the door of one of you in which he cleanses himself five times a day.”
–Sahih Muslim 668
In the name of Allah, the Gracious, the Merciful Al-Nawawi recorded in his book Riyad al-Salihin: Allah said: يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا إِذَا قُمْتُمْ إِلَى الصَّلَاةِ فَاغْسِلُوا وُجُوهَكُمْ وَأَيْدِيَكُمْ إِلَى الْمَرَافِقِ وَامْسَحُوا بِرُءُوسِكُمْ وَأَرْجُلَكُمْ إِلَى الْكَعْبَيْنِ وَإِن كُنتُمْ جُنُبًا فَاطَّهَّرُوا وَإِن كُنتُم مَّرْضَىٰ أَوْ عَلَىٰ سَفَرٍ أَوْ جَاءَ أَحَدٌ مِّنكُم مِّنَ الْغَائِطِ أَوْ لَامَسْتُمُ النِّسَاءَ …
“If an evil suggestion comes to you from Satan, then seek refuge in Allah.”
