Mu' meneen Brothers and Sisters,

As Salaam Aleikum wa Rahmatullahi wa Barakatuh. (May Allah's Peace, Mercy and Blessings be upon all of you)

One of our brothers/sisters has asked this question:

As salam mu allai kum,

May Allah (swt) reward you for the great work which you have been doing.

I wanted to know that is there any hadith in Islam that tells us to store the let out water of our wazu and pray, so that something good happens to us?

Please answer as soon as possible. Jazak'Allah

Answer:

Store wudu water

In the name of Allah, We praise Him, seek His help and ask for His forgiveness. Whoever Allah guides none can misguide, and whoever He allows to fall astray, none can guide them aright. We bear witness that there is none worthy of worship but Allah Alone, and we bear witness that Muhammad (saws) is His slave-servant and the seal of His Messengers.

To the best of our knowledge we have not come across any hadith in the authentic Sunnah which encourages the believers to store the water of one’s wudu in the hope that something good would happen to them! This is a mere superstition and has absolutely no relation to the Truth or reality!

Whatever written of Truth and benefit is only due to Allah’s Assistance and Guidance, and whatever of error is of me alone. Allah Alone Knows Best and He is the Only Source of Strength.

Your brother and well wisher in Islam,

Burhan
