Do Not Be Wasteful Even in Wudu
أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صلى الله عليه وسلم مَرَّ بِسَعْدٍ وَهُوَ يَتَوَضَّأُ فَقَالَ مَا هَذَا السَّرَفُ يَا سَعْدُ قَالَ أَفِي الْوُضُوءِ سَرَفٌ قَالَ نَعَمْ وَإِنْ كُنْتَ عَلَى نَهَرٍ جَارٍ
Transliteration
Annan-Nabiyya ﷺ marra bi Sa'din wa huwa yatawadd'a faqala ma hadhas-sarfu ya Sa'd, qala: afi'l-wudu'i sarafun? Qala: Na'am wa in kunta 'ala naharin jar
Translation
Narrated Ibn Majah: The Prophet (SAW) passed by Sa'd while he was performing wudu and said, 'What is this waste, O Sa'd?' Sa'd asked, 'Is there waste even in wudu?' He replied, 'Yes, even if you are at a flowing river.'
Practice This Today
Use only what you need in wudu today — three washes per limb is the sunnah maximum. Respect water as a trust from Allah.
