Follow Prophetic teachings; Perform ritual bath; Do ablutions; Attend prayers on time; Respect religious obligations

This hadith highlights the importance of performing ghusl before attending prayers. Ghusl is a ritual bath that involves washing one’s entire body with water. It is an obligation in Islam and must be performed before any major act of worship such as prayer or Hajj. In this hadith, Umar bin al Khattab reprimanded a companion for only doing wudu when he knew that the Prophet Muhammad used to enjoin ghusl. Wudu is an ablution which involves washing certain parts of one’s body with water and it must be done prior to every prayer. This hadith teaches us that we should always strive to perform our religious obligations in accordance with what was taught by Prophet Muhammad and not take shortcuts or neglect them altogether.
