Chapter: [What Has Been Related] About It Being Disliked To Be Wasteful With Water During Wudu
(43)
باب مَا جَاءَ فِي كَرَاهِيَةِ الإِسْرَافِ فِي الْوُضُوءِ بِالْمَاءِ
 
Ubayy bin Ka’b narrated that :
the Prophet said: “Indeed there is a Shaitan for Wudu’ who is called “AI-Walahan.“So beware of wasting of water.”
 
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَشَّارٍ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو دَاوُدَ الطَّيَالِسِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا خَارِجَةُ بْنُ مُصْعَبٍ، عَنْ يُونُسَ بْنِ عُبَيْدٍ، عَنِ الْحَسَنِ، عَنْ عُتَىِّ بْنِ ضَمْرَةَ السَّعْدِيِّ، عَنْ أُبَىِّ بْنِ كَعْبٍ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ ‏ “‏ إِنَّ لِلْوُضُوءِ شَيْطَانًا يُقَالُ لَهُ الْوَلْهَانُ فَاتَّقُوا وَسْوَاسَ الْمَاءِ ‏”‏ ‏.‏ قَالَ وَفِي الْبَابِ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَمْرٍو وَعَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ مُغَفَّلٍ ‏.‏ قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى حَدِيثُ أُبَىِّ بْنِ كَعْبٍ حَدِيثٌ غَرِيبٌ وَلَيْسَ إِسْنَادُهُ بِالْقَوِيِّ وَالصَّحِيحِ عِنْدَ أَهْلِ الْحَدِيثِ لأَنَّا لاَ نَعْلَمُ أَحَدًا أَسْنَدَهُ غَيْرَ خَارِجَةَ ‏.‏ وَقَدْ رُوِيَ هَذَا الْحَدِيثُ مِنْ غَيْرِ وَجْهٍ عَنِ الْحَسَنِ قَوْلَهُ وَلاَ يَصِحُّ فِي هَذَا الْبَابِ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم شَيْءٌ ‏.‏ وَخَارِجَةُ لَيْسَ بِالْقَوِيِّ عِنْدَ
أَصْحَابِنَا وَضَعَّفَهُ ابْنُ الْمُبَارَكِ ‏.

Bismillah! Al Hamdulillah!
Wa AsSalatu AsSalamu A’ala Rasulillah!

This issue make me upset so much that I have to be hard on my writings:
Only applicable to those who just took the practice so easy that they will open the tap and the water will just keep pouring while they make wudu. So, here it is: 

 
O Muslims of today!
Where would you go!
The modern times seems a curse for you.
The modern technologies seems a blockade on your practice of Deen as the way your messenger taught you, as the way Sahaba practiced and the way the Salaf practiced Deen.
 
May Allah guide you O Muslims.
May Allah guide you to hold back and think what are you doing, which way you are heading only because you accepted anything and everything that the technology offered to you.
 
And your Ulema is preaching you to do the Islam as the way Sahaba did.
So, you keep following the Shabah in your rituals while they were under the Islamic authority but meanwhile the Kuffar pull you in a time where they became your authority and yet you are thinking doing only those rituals will do you any good on your way to Jannah!
 
Had you just thought and imagined you are in the company of Rasulullah Sallillahu Alaihi Wa Sallam! You would have always see things ‘out of the box’!
 
 
Don’t you know how much water you waste while making Wudu only because you have the ease of flowing of the water, the Tap?
 
Why do you have to do it because it’s just made that way?
Why don’t you take a bowl and pour water in the bowl first and then make Wudu from that water.

Practice this in your home while making Wudu and then suggest the Masjid authorities to put bowl in the Wudu area.
It’s just that simple.

You save water.
Meaning, you stop wasting water.
Meaning, you protect yourself from the shaitan, al-walahan.
And more importantly you follow the way Rasulullah Sallillahu Alaihi Wa Sallam made Wudu.
SubhanAllah!
How many benefits are there!
May Allah guide us, protect us from wasting.
Ameen.
