Sunan Abi Dawud 103 (Book 1, Hadith 103) #20394
The Importance of Washing Hands Before Eating

SUMMARY: Washing hands three times before eating is important as one does not know where their hands have been during the night.

Abu Hurairah reported : The Messenger of Allah said: When anyone amongst you wakes up from sleep at night, he should not put his hand in the utensil until he has washed his hand three times, for he does’ not know where his hand was during the night.
حَدَّثَنَا مُسَدَّدٌ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو مُعَاوِيَةَ، عَنِ الأَعْمَشِ، عَنْ أَبِي رَزِينٍ، وَأَبِي، صَالِحٍ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ‏ "‏ إِذَا قَامَ أَحَدُكُمْ مِنَ اللَّيْلِ فَلاَ يَغْمِسْ يَدَهُ فِي الإِنَاءِ حَتَّى يَغْسِلَهَا ثَلاَثَ مَرَّاتٍ فَإِنَّهُ لاَ يَدْرِي أَيْنَ بَاتَتْ يَدُهُ

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith, narrated by Abu Hurairah, emphasizes the importance of washing one's hands before eating. It teaches us that we should always be mindful of our hygiene and cleanliness, especially when it comes to food. We should take extra care to ensure that our hands are washed properly with soap and water for at least three times before we eat anything. This is because we do not know where our hands have been during the night and what kind of germs or bacteria they may have come in contact with. Therefore, it is essential to practice good hygiene habits such as washing our hands regularly in order to stay healthy and safe from any potential illnesses or diseases.
