As salaamu alaykum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuh,


The Recommended Acts of Wudoo
From the recommended aspects (sunan) of wudoo, that occur before Wudoo is: What has been reported by Abu Hurairah (radyAllaahu 'anhu) from Allaah's Messenger ( sallAllaahu 'alayhi wa sallam) that he said: "If it were not that I feared to cause hardship on my ummah, I would have commanded them to (use) the Siwaak with every wudoo." [Reported by Maalik, Ahmad and An-Nasaa'ee, and its chain of narration is authentic]

It is also recommended for a Muslim to perform wudoo with a mudd of water. This is based on what Anas (radyAllaahu 'anhu) reported that: "Allaah's Messenger (sallAllaahu 'alayhi wa sallam ) would perform wudoo with a mudd of water and he would perform Ghusl with a saa' of water." [1] [Reported by Al-Bukhaaree and Muslim]

After making wudoo, it is recommended for one to say what has been reported by Ibn 'Umar ( radyAllaahu 'anhu) from Allaah's Messenger (sallAllaahu 'alayhi wa sallam) when he said: "There is none of you that performs wudoo, then completes it, then says: 'Ash-hadu an Laa Ilaaha illaallaah, wahdahu laa shareeka lahu, wa ash-hadu anna Muhammadan 'abduhu wa Rasooluhu '[2] except that the eight gates of Paradise open for him, and he can enter from any one he wishes." [Reported by Muslim and At-Tirmidhee] At-Tirmidhee mentioned the addition to the hadeeth: "Allaahumma, Ija'alnee min at-Tawaabeen waj'alnee min al-Mutatahhireen."
