The Prophet's Ablution

SUMMARY: This hadith is about the Prophet Muhammad's ablution and how he washed each part of his body once, twice, or thrice.

It was narrated that Thabit bin Abi Safiyyah Ath-Thumali said: "I asked Abu Ja'far: Was it narrated to you from Jabir bin 'Abdullah that the Prophet performed ablution washing each part once?' He said: 'Yes'. I said: 'And each part twice, and each part thrice?' He said: 'Yes'."
حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ عَامِرِ بْنِ زُرَارَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا شَرِيكُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ النَّخَعِيُّ، عَنْ ثَابِتِ بْنِ أَبِي صَفِيَّةَ الثُّمَالِيِّ، قَالَ سَأَلْتُ أَبَا جَعْفَرٍ قُلْتُ لَهُ حُدِّثْتَ عَنْ جَابِرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ـ ـ تَوَضَّأَ مَرَّةً مَرَّةً قَالَ نَعَمْ ‏.‏ قُلْتُ وَمَرَّتَيْنِ مَرَّتَيْنِ وَثَلاَثًا ثَلاَثًا قَالَ نَعَمْ

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about the Prophet Muhammad's ablution which is a ritual washing performed by Muslims before prayer. It was narrated that Thabit bin Abi Safiyyah Ath-Thumali asked Abu Ja'far if it was narrated to him from Jabir bin 'Abdullah that the Prophet performed ablution washing each part once. Abu Ja'far said yes, and then Thabit asked if he washed each part twice or thrice as well. Again, Abu Ja'far said yes. This hadith shows us that the Prophet Muhammad would perform his ablutions in different ways depending on what he felt was necessary for him to do at any given time. He could wash each part of his body once, twice, or even thrice in order to be spiritually cleansed before prayer. This teaches us that we should take our spiritual cleansing seriously and not take it lightly as it can help us become closer to Allah through prayer and worship.
