Riyad as-Salihin 1243 (Book 8, Hadith 253) #37732
The Importance of Proper Wudu

SUMMARY: This hadith encourages Muslims to perform wudu (ablution) properly and thoroughly, including washing the hands up to the upper-arm instead of the elbow, cleaning the base of fingers and sniffing water deep into the nose.

Laqit bin Sabirah (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: I requested the Messenger of Allah to talk to me about ablution. He said, "Perform the Wudu' well (by washing those parts of the body, such as the face, hands and feet beyond what is required, like washing the hands up to the upper-arm instead of the elbow). Cleanse the base of your fingers and sniff water deep into the nose except when you are observing fast". Abu Dawud and At- Tirmidhi.
وعن لقيط بن صبرة رضي الله عنه قال قلت يا رسول الله أخبرني عن الوضوء‏؟‏ قال‏"‏ ‏"‏أسبغ الوضوء، وخلل بين الأصابع، وبالغ في الاستنشاق، إلا أن تكون صائمًا‏"‏ ‏(‏‏(‏رواه أبوداود، والترمذي وقال‏:‏ حديث حسن صحيح‏)‏‏)‏‏.‏

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith encourages Muslims to perform wudu or ablution properly and thoroughly. It is a ritual that is performed before prayer in order for one's prayer to be accepted by Allah. The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ instructed us to wash our hands up to our upper-arm instead of just our elbows, cleanse the base of our fingers, and sniff water deep into our noses when performing wudu. These instructions are important because it shows that we are taking extra care in fulfilling this ritual as an act of worship towards Allah. It also teaches us about cleanliness which is an important value in Islam as it helps us stay healthy both physically and spiritually.
