Eat, Rinse, Pray (Hadith No. 208)

Salam,
Bismillah.

Volume 1, Book 4, Number 208:

Narrated Suwaid bin Al-Nu’man:

In the year of the conquest of Khaibar I went with Allah’s Apostle till we reached Sahba,’ a place near Khaibar, where Allah’s Apostle offered the ‘Asr prayer and asked for food. Nothing but Sawrq was brought. He ordered it to be moistened with water. He and all of us ate it and the Prophet got up for the evening prayer (Maghrib prayer), rinsed his mouth with water and we did the same, and he then prayed without repeating the ablution.

Make sure to rinse your mouth before performing Salah if you’ve eaten food. No need to repeat the ablution. :)

Wassalam.

Got Kids Around You? Do Read! (Hadith No. 77)

Salam,
Bismillah.

This is the cutest Hadith ever! When I first read it, I came home to try it on my one-year-old nephew, Moosa. Can’t say he really enjoyed it, but I sure did! :)

Volume 1, Book 3, Number 77:

Narrated Mahmud bin Rabi’a:

When I was a boy of five, I remember, the Prophet took water from a bucket (used for getting water out of a well) with his mouth and threw it on my face.

Do try it with kids, considering it a Sunnah. You’ll love it!

Wassalam.
