Perform ghusul before praying salat .

This hadith highlights the importance of performing ghusl before prayer. It was narrated by Abu Hurairah that the Iqamah for prayer was said and the people stood in rows, and the Messenger of Allah came out. Then when he stood in the place where he prayed, he remembered that he had not performed ghusl yet. He told everyone to stay where they were while he went back to his house to perform it. When he returned with his head dripping with water, it showed how important it is for Muslims to perform ghusl before praying salat. This is because salat is a form of worship which requires us to be clean both physically and spiritually in order for our prayers to be accepted by Allah SWT.
