One day, an old bedouin from the

desert visited their home in

Madinah. The old man was new to

Islam and did not know much about

his religion.

When it was time for Salah and the

old man began to perform Wudu’, it

became apparent that he did not

know how to do it properly. He

washed his feet first and then gar-

gled his mouth. He seemed to for-

get that the arms must be washed

upto the elbows and he simply

wiped his face instead of washing it

three times. This was not at all cor-

rect and the two boys, who were sit-

ting close by, could see that.

Hasan [r] and Husayn [r] both knew

that Wudu’ must be performed cor-

rectly in order to pray. If the Wudu’

was not done properly then the

Salah too would not be acceptable

☺ ☺ and all the reward would be lost.
