Dua For Ablution (Wudu)

𝑸𝑼𝑬𝑺𝑻𝑰𝑶𝑵❓

Is there any Dua (supplication) to be recited during wudu (ablution)?

𝑨𝑵𝑺𝑾𝑬𝑹❗️

Praise be to Allah.

There is no proof that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said any dua during wudu whilst washing or wiping his limbs, etc.

Any such duas that are known are bid’ah (innovation) and have no basis.

Du’as to be said at the beginning of wudu and after finishing it have been narrated from the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him). 

With regard to what is to be said at the beginning, the only thing that has been narrated is to mention the name of Allah by saying:

بِسْــــــــــــــــــــــمِ اَللّهِ

 "Bismillah"

 (in the name of Allah)

the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him): “There is no wudu for one who does not mention the name of Allah in it.” Narrated by al-Tirmidhi, 25.

With regard to what is said after wudu, It was narrated that 'Umar bin Al-Khattab may ALLAH be pleased with him said: "The Messenger of Allah peace be upon him said: whoever performs Wudhu well, then says:

أَشْهَدُ أَنْ لاَ إِلَهَ إِلاَّ اللَّهُ وَأَشْهَدُ أَنَّ مُحَمَّدًا عَبْدُهُ وَرَسُولُهُ

Ashhadu alla ilaha illallahu, wa ash-hadu anna muhammadan abduhu wa rasuluhu

(I bear witness that there is no God except Allah, and I bear witness that Muhammad is the slave and Messenger of Allah).

Then eight gates of Paradise will be opened for him, and he may enter through whichever one he wishes.

Sunan nasaii, Book 1, 148-Sahih

Al-Tirmidhi (55) added:

"اللَّهُمَّ اجْعَلْنِي مِنَ التَّوَّابِينَ وَاجْعَلْنِي مِنَ الْمُتَطَهِّرِينَ".

 “Allahumm aj’alni min al-tawwabeena waj’alni min al-mutatahhireena

(O Allah, make me one of those who repent and make me one of those who purify themselves).”

This addition was classed as da’if (weak) by al-Hafiz ibn Hajar (may Allah have mercy on him), who said: This addition which is narrated by al-Tirmidhi is not proven to be part of this hadith. End quote from al-Futuhat al-Rabbaniyyah, 2/19.

Al-Albani classed it as sahih in Sahih al-Tirmidhi. Ibn al-Qayyim stated in Zad al-Ma'ad that it is proven to be from the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him).

Its Narrated by Abu Saeed khudri Radi Allahu Anhu that RasoolAllah Sal-Allahu Alaihi Wasallam said the one who perform ablution (Wudu) and recite these words he will be written among those who are freed (from hell) and that will be sealed with a seal which will not be broken till the day of Qiyamah:

سُبْحَانَكَ اللهُمّ وَبِحَمْدِكَ لَا إِلَه إِلَا أَنْتَ أَسْتَغْفِرُكَ وَأَتُوب إِلَيْك

Subhanakallahumma Wa bihamdika La ilaha illa Anta Astagfiruka Wa Atubu ilaik.

Glory be to You O Allah, and praise be to you, there is no god but you. I ask your forgiveness and I repent to You.

Al-Slisila  As-Sahiha, 2951

AL-Mustadrak Sahihain 2005-Hasan

“It is not proven that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said any du’a during wudu. What the common folk say in dua when washing each part of the body is an innovation (bid’ah), such as saying when washing the face, “O Allah, make my face white on the day when faces will be turned black”; or when washing the hands: “O Allah, give me my book (record of my deeds) in my right hand, and do not give me my book in my left hand,” and other du’as which are said when washing the other parts of the body in wudu.”

And Allah knows best.
