“I saw Abu Hurairah performing Wudu’ on the roof of the Masjid ans he said: ‘I ate some tough cheese, so I performed Wudu’ because of that. I heard the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) commanding us to do Wudu’ from that which has been touched by fire.'”

“O son of my sister, perform Wudu’, for I heard the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) say: ‘Perform Wudu’ from that which has been touched by fire.'”

“The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: ‘I have been given five things that were not given to anyone before me: I have been supported with fear being struck into the hearts of my enemy for a distance of one month’s travel; the earth has been made a place of prostration and a means of purification for me, so wherever a man of my Ummah is when the time for prayer comes, let him pray; I have been given the intercession which was not given to any Prophet before me; and I have been sent to all of mankind whereas the Prophets before me were sent to their own people.”

He who eats garlic or onion must keep away from us. Or he said: must keep away from our mosque or must sit in his house. A dish containing green vegetables was brought to him, and noticing that it had an odour he asked (about it). He was told that it contained some vegetables. He then said: Bring it near, to one of his companion who was with him. When he saw it, he abominated eating it, and said: eat for I hold intimate converse with one with whom you do not. Ahmad b. Salih said: Ibn Wahb explained the word badr as meaning dish.

Allah’s Messenger (S) said: “Teach the boy Salat when he is seven years old, and beat him (if he does not pray) when he is ten.”

“The Prophet(ﷺ) passed by a man who was sleeping in the masjid, lying on his face. He struck him with his foot and said: ‘Get up’ or; ‘Sit up, fo this is a hellish kind of sleep.'”

the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: ‘Allah will not take away knowledge by removing it from people (from their hearts). Rather He will take away knowledge by taking away the scholars, then when there are no scholars left, the people will take the ignorant as their leaders. They will be asked questions and they will issue verdicts without knowledge, thus they will go astray and lead others astray.'”
