question #1 Sahih al-Bukhari 135, Book 4, Hadith 1 : What is the significance of performing ablution before prayer in Islam?

Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) said, “The prayer of a person who does Hadath (passes urine, stool or wind) is not
accepted till he performs the ablution.” A person from Hadaramout asked Abu Huraira, “What is
‘Hadath’?” Abu Huraira replied, ” ‘Hadath’ means the passing of wind.”
