Sunan Abi Dawud 318 (Book 1, Hadith 318) #20609
Wiping Hands and Face Before Dawn Prayer

SUMMARY: The hadith is about the Companions of the Prophet wiping their hands and face with pure earth before offering the dawn prayer in the company of the Messenger of Allah.

Narrated Ammar ibn Yasir: They (the Companions of the Prophet) wiped with pure earth (their hands and face) to offer the dawn prayer in the company of the Messenger of Allah . They struck the ground with their palms and wiped their faces once. Then they repeated and struck the ground with their palms once again and wiped their arms completely up to the shoulders and up to the armpits with the inner side of their hands.
حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ صَالِحٍ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ وَهْبٍ، أَخْبَرَنِي يُونُسُ، عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ، عَنْ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عُتْبَةَ، حَدَّثَهُ عَنْ عَمَّارِ بْنِ يَاسِرٍ، أَنَّهُ كَانَ يُحَدِّثُ أَنَّهُمْ تَمَسَّحُوا وَهُمْ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ بِالصَّعِيدِ لِصَلاَةِ الْفَجْرِ فَضَرَبُوا بِأَكُفِّهِمُ الصَّعِيدَ ثُمَّ مَسَحُوا وُجُوهَهُمْ مَسْحَةً وَاحِدَةً ثُمَّ عَادُوا فَضَرَبُوا بِأَكُفِّهِمُ الصَّعِيدَ مَرَّةً أُخْرَى فَمَسَحُوا بِأَيْدِيهِمْ كُلِّهَا إِلَى الْمَنَاكِبِ وَالآبَاطِ مِنْ بُطُونِ أَيْدِيهِمْ

QUICK LESSONS:
Perform wudu mindfully using clean materials such as pure earth before offering salatul fajr prayer.

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about how to perform wudu for salatul fajr or dawn prayer. It was narrated by Ammar ibn Yasir that when they were in the company of Prophet Muhammad ﷺ they would wipe their hands and face with pure earth before offering salatul fajr. They would strike their palms on the ground once and then wipe their faces with it. Then they would repeat this process again to wipe up to their shoulders and armpits using inner side of their hands. This hadith teaches us that we should be mindful while performing wudu for salatul fajr as it is a special prayer time which requires extra attention from us. We should also use clean materials such as pure earth for our wudu instead of just water alone so that we can get closer to Allah SWT through our prayers.
