Musnad Ahmad 134 (Book 2, Hadith 52) #33827
Doing Wudoo Properly

SUMMARY: The Prophet ? saw a man who had not done his wudoo properly and told him to go back and do it again.

It was narrated from Jabir that 'Umar bin al-Khattab رضي الله عنه told him that he saw a man doing wudoo’ for prayer, and he missed an area the size of a fingernail on the top of his foot. The Prophet saw him and said: 'Go back and do your wudoo’ properly". So he went back and did wudoo’ then he prayed.
حَدَّثَنَا مُوسَى بْنُ دَاوُدَ، حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ لَهِيعَةَ، عَنْ أَبِي الزُّبَيْرِ، عَنْ جَابِرٍ، أَنَّ عُمَرَ بْنَ الْخَطَّابِ، رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ أَخْبَرَهُ أَنَّهُ، رَأَى رَجُلًا تَوَضَّأَ لِلصَّلَاةِ فَتَرَكَ مَوْضِعَ ظُفُرٍ عَلَى ظَهْرِ قَدَمِهِ فَأَبْصَرَهُ النَّبِيُّ فَقَالَ ارْجِعْ فَأَحْسِنْ وُضُوءَكَ فَرَجَعَ فَتَوَضَّأَ ثُمَّ صَلَّى‏.‏

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about the importance of doing wudoo properly before prayer. Wudoo is an Islamic ritual that involves washing certain parts of the body with water in order to be purified for prayer. In this hadith, the Prophet ? saw a man who was doing his wudoo but he missed an area the size of a fingernail on the top of his foot. The Prophet ? then told him to go back and do his wudoo properly before praying. This teaches us that we should take care to perform our religious duties correctly, even if it means going back and redoing something we have already done. We should also strive for perfection in all aspects of our lives, as this will bring us closer to Allah SWT.
