EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith narrates an incident in which the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) performed ablution and wiped his head twice. Ablution is a ritual cleansing process that Muslims must perform before they can pray or read from the Quran. It involves washing certain parts of the body with water in a specific order. After completing this process, Muslims must wipe their heads with their hands as part of it. This hadith shows us that even though one wipe is enough to complete this step of ablution, it was narrated that the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) wiped his head twice for extra precaution and emphasis on cleanliness during prayer time. This teaches us to be mindful of our actions when we are performing religious rituals and to take extra care in ensuring we do them correctly according to Islamic teachings.
