Dua and Dhikr
Before Wudu.
بِسْمِ ٱللَّٰ
Bismillah
(in the name of Allah)
Rabah bin Abdur-Rahman bin Abi Sufyan bin Huwaitib narrated from his grandmother, from her father; she said (that he said):
"I heard Allah's Messenger saying: there is no Wudu for one who does not mention Allah's Name over it."
(Jami` at-Tirmidhi 25)
After Wudu.
أَشْهَدُ أَنْ لاَ إِلَهَ إِلاَّ اللَّهُ وَحْدَهُ لاَ شَرِيكَ لَهُ وَأَشْهَدُ أَنَّ مُحَمَّدًا عَبْدُهُ وَرَسُولُهُ اللَّهُمَّ اجْعَلْنِي مِنَ التَّوَّابِينَ وَاجْعَلْنِي مِنَ الْمُتَطَهِّرِينَ
Ashhadu an la ilaha illallah, wahdahu la sharika lahu, wa ashhadu anna Muhammadan-abduhu wa rasuluhu. Allahummajalni minat tawwabin, waj'alni minal mutatahhiri.
(I testify that none has the right to be worshipped but Allah Alone, there are no partners for Him. And I testify that Muhammad is His servant and Messenger.O Allah! Make me among the repentant, and make me among those who purify themselves.)
Umar bin Al-Khattab narrated that :
Allah's Messenger said: 'Whoever performs Wudu, making Wudu well, then says:
(the above dua).Then eight gates of Paradise are opened for him, that may enter by whichever of them wishes."
(Jami` at-Tirmidhi 55, Sahih Muslim 234a, Sahih Muslim 234b)
