Translation of Sahih Muslim, Book 2:
The Book of Purification (Kitab
Al-Taharah)
INTRODUCTION
We have read in the first Book that the love of Allah is
the highest aim of a true believer. It is for the achievement of this single end that he
affirms his faith in Him by renouncing all other types of godhood.
The love of God is not something inert or lifeless; it is
dynamic in the sense that it calls for a complete change in the life of man: change in his
thoughts and ideas and change in his conduct and behaviour. One who claims to be a
believer in Allah has to make a good deal of effort with a view to pleasing his: lord. He
has to purify his soul from all evil thoughts and fancies so that the love of God should
reside in it. Unless the soul is purged of all impurities one cannot achieve salvation.
This is known as Tahdrah in Islam, and it is the foundation-stone of Imin. This high
objective of the purification of the soul requires intentional and deliberate efforts and
a good deal of sacrifice on the part of man, and the most elementary stage in this sacred
path is the cleanliness of body.
By enjoining cleanliness of body upon man Islam awakens him
to the realisation of the fact that when impurities on the body of a man produce such
unhealtby effects on his physical being and corrode his mental health, how miserable his
life would be when his soul is polluted with impurities. The process of the purification
of the soul should, therefore, start with the purification of the body.
Chapter 1: MERIT OF WUDU'
Book 002, Number 0432:
Abu Malik at-Ash'ari reported: The Messenger of Allah (may
peace be upon him) said: Cleanliness is half of faith and al-Hamdu Liliah (Praise be to
Allah) fills the scale, and Subhan Allah (Glory be to Allah) and al-Hamdu Liliah (Praise
be to Allah) fill upwhat is between the heavens and the earth, and prayer is a light, and
charity is proof (of one's faith) and endurance is a brightness and the Holy Qur'an is a
proof on your behalf or against you. All men go out early in the morning and sell
themselves, thereby setting themselves free or destroying themselves.
Chapter 2: PURIFICATION IS ESSENTIAL FOR PRAYER
Book 002, Number 0433:
Mus'ab b. Sa'd reported: 'Abdullah son of Umar came to
Ibn'Amir in order to inquire after his health as he was ailing. He said Ibn 'Umar, why

him) say: Neither the prayer is accepted without parification nor is charity accepted out
of the ill-gotten (wealth), and thou wert the (governor) of Basra.

washed his face three times, then washed his right arm up to the elbow three times, then
washed his left arm like that, then wiped his head; then washed his right foot up to the
ankle three times, then washed his left foot like that, and then said: I saw the Messenger
of Allah (may peace be upon him) perform ablution like this ablution of mine. Then the
Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him) said: He who performs ablution like this
ablution of mine and then stood up (for prayer) and offered two rak'ahs of prayer without
allowing his thoughts to be distracted, all his previous sins are expiated. Ibn Shihab
said: Our scholars remarked: This is the most complete of the ablutions performed for
prayer.

called for the ablution water and performed ablution and then said: By Allah, I am
narrating to you a hadith. If there were not a verse in the Book of Allah, I would have
never narrated it to you. I heard Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) say: If a
Muslim performs ablution and does it well and offers prayer, all his (sins) daring the

time of our returning from our prayer told us (certain things pertaining to purification).
Mis'ar said: I find that it was afternoon prayer. He said: I do not know whether I should
tell you a thing or keep quiet. We said: Messenger of Allah, tell us if it is good and if
it is otherwise, Allah and His Apostle know better. Upon this he said: A Muslim who

tormented, but they are not tormented for a grievous sin. One of them carried tales and
the other did not keep himself safe from being defiled by urine. He then called for a
fresh twig and split it into two parts, and planted them on each grave and then said:
Perhaps, their punishment way be mitigated as long as these twigs remain fresh.
Book 002, Number 0576:
This hadith is transmitted from A'mash by Abmad b. Yusuf
al-Azdi, Mu'alla b. Asad, Abd al-Wahid, Sulaiman with the same chain of transmitters but
for the words:" The other did not keep himself safe from being defiled by
urine."
