Sunan an-Nasai 131 (Book 1, Hadith 132) #14738
The Importance of Wudu in Prayer

SUMMARY: The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) used to perform wudu for every prayer and his companions would pray all the prayers with one wudu unless they had done something that would break their wudu.

It was narrated from 'Amr bin 'Amir that Anas mentioned: "The Messenger of Allah was brought a small vessel (of water) and he performed Wudu'". I said: "Did the Messenger of Allah perform Wudu' for every prayer?" He said: "Yes". He said: "What about you?" He said: "We used to pray all the prayers so long as we did not commit Hadath". He said: "And we used to pray all the prayers with (one) Wudu'".
أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الأَعْلَى، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا خَالِدٌ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ عَامِرٍ، عَنْ أَنَسٍ، أَنَّهُ ذَكَرَ أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ أُتِيَ بِإِنَاءٍ صَغِيرٍ فَتَوَضَّأَ ‏.‏ قُلْتُ أَكَانَ النَّبِيُّ يَتَوَضَّأُ لِكُلِّ صَلاَةٍ قَالَ نَعَمْ ‏.‏ قَالَ فَأَنْتُمْ قَالَ كُنَّا نُصَلِّي الصَّلَوَاتِ مَا لَمْ نُحْدِثْ قَالَ وَقَدْ كُنَّا نُصَلِّي الصَّلَوَاتِ بِوُضُوءٍ

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith highlights the importance of performing ritual ablution or wudhu before each prayer. It is narrated from 'Amr bin 'Amir that Anas mentioned that the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) was brought a small vessel of water and he performed wudhu. When asked if he did this for every prayer, Anas replied yes. He then went on to explain how his companions used to pray all the prayers with one wudhu unless they had done something that would break their wudhu such as going to the bathroom or passing wind. This shows us how important it is to be clean when we are praying and how we should take care not to do anything which will break our state of purity before we pray.
