According to ʿAmr b. Shuʿayb, his father said that his grandfather (ra) said, “A bedouin came to the Prophet (saw) to ask him about the wudu’ (wudu’), so he showed him how to perform the wudu’, washing each (part of the body) three times, and then he said, “This is the wudu’. Whoever does more than that has erred, gone to extremes, and done wrong.” (al-Nasaʾi, al-Tahara, 105)
According to ʿAbd Allah b. ʿAmr (ra), one day the Messenger of Allah (saw) passed by Saʿd (b. Abi Waqqas) when he was performing the wudu’, and he said, “What is this extravagance?” He said, “Can there be any extravagance in the wudu’?” He said, “Yes, even if you are on the bank of a flowing river.” (Ibn Maja, al-Tahara, 48)
According to al-Mughira b. Shuʿba (ra), the Prophet (saw) said, “Allah has forbidden you to be undutiful to your mothers, to bury your daughters alive, to not to pay the rights of the others (e.g., charity, etc.) and to take (what is not rightfully yours). And Allah hates vain, useless talk, asking too many questions (in disputed religious matters) and wasting wealth (through extravagance).” (al-Bukhari, al-Istiqrad, 19)
According to ʿAmr b. Shuʿayb, his father said that his grandfather (ra) said Allah’s Messenger (saw) said, “Eat, give charity, and clothe yourselves without being extravagant, and without showing off.” (al-Nasaʾi, al-Zakat, 66)
According to Ibn ʿAbbas (ra), the Prophet (saw) said, “There are two blessings which many people lose: Health and free time.” (al-Bukhari, al-Riqaq, 1)
