Sunan al-Nasa'i — The Book of Purification

“I saw ‘Ali (may Allah be please with him) praying Zuhr, then he sat to tend to the people’s needs, and when the time for ‘Asr came, a vessel of water was brought to him. He took a handful of it and wiped his face, forearms, head and feet with it, then he took what was left and drank standing up. He said: ‘People dislike this, but I saw the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) doing it. This is the Wudu’ of one who has not committed Hadath.”

“The Messenger of Allah forbade the price of a dog, the gift of a female fornicator and the fees of a fortuneteller.”( Sahih)

“While the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) was seated, a man entered and performed Salat, and he said: ‘O Allah, forgive me, and have mercy upon me.’ The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: ‘You have rushed, O praying person. When you perform Salat and then sit, then praise Allah with what He is deserving of, and send Salat upon me, then call upon Him.’” He said: “Then another man performed Salat after that, so he praised Allah and sent Salat upon the Prophet (ﷺ). The Prophet (ﷺ) said to him: ‘O praying person! Supplicate, and you shall be answered.’”
