Whatever your reason for opening this article, I am sure you are looking for an explanation of the dua after wudu for Jannah hadith. Don't worry! I will not let you down today. That's what I will explain now. Trust me! You just need to read this article to the end!

Dua After Wudu for Jannah Hadith

Hi! Now I will describe the main topic in this article. I will deliberately explain that at the beginning of the discussion because it will form the basis for explaining the next few things. Also, there is only one hadith (that I know of) that specifically describes the dua after wudu for Jannah.

The hadith about dua after wudu for Jannah is as follows:

عَنْ عُمَرَ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ : قَالَ رَسُوْلُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ :مَا مِنْكُمْ مِنْ أَحَدٍ  يَتَوَضَّأُ فَيُسْبِغُ الْوُضُوْءَ ثُمَّ يَقُوْلُ : أَشْهَدُ أَنْ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللهُ وَحْدَهُ لَا شَرِيْكَ لَهُ وَأَشْهَدُ أَنَّ مُحَمَّدًا عَبْدُهُ وَرَسُوْلُهُ , إِلَّا فُتِحَتْ لَهُ أَبْوَابُ الْجَنَّةِ الثَّمَانِيَّةِ يَدْخُلُ مِنْ أَيِّهَا شَاءَ . أَخْرَجَهُ مُسْلِمٌ وَالتِّرْمِذِيُّ وَزَادَ : اَللَّهُمَّ اجْعَلْنِيْ مِنَ التَّوَّابِيْنَ وَاجْعَلْنِيْ مِنَ الْمُتَطَهِّرِيْنَ

From Umar radliyallahu anhu, he said, "The Messenger of Allah alaihi wa sallam said, "It is not one of you who performs wudu then perfects it, then says, "I testify that there is no god but Allah who has no partner, and I testify that Muhammad is His servant and His Messenger, "except the eight doors of Heaven have been opened for him. He can enter any door he wants." The hadith is narrated by Muslim and at-Tirmidhi. He (at-Tirmidhi) added another editor, "O Allah, make me among those who repent and make me including those who are cleansed."

One important thing about the above hadith that you must understand is that in the study of hadith, the status of the above hadith is "Hadith Shahih (الحَدِيْثُ الصَّحِيْحُ)". So, this hadith is very suitable as the basis of an argument about dua after wudu and its benefits.

Is It True That The 8 Doors of Jannah Will Open After You Say the Dua After Wudu?

Now I will explain the answer to the question about one of the benefits of dua after wudu as explained in the hadith I quoted earlier: is it true that the 8 doors of Jannah will open after you say the dua after wudu? You have to understand that because there are some Muslims who don't understand that very well. I'm sure you don't want to be like them, right?!

Previously, I explained that the status of the hadith which explains dua after wudu for Jannah is "Sahih Hadith (الحَدِيْثُ الصَّحِيْحُ)" which is very worthy of being used as the basis for an argument to explain dua after wudu and its benefits. As Muslims, we must believe that because it is the saying of the Prophet Muhammad whose validity has been verified.

In Islam (Sunni Islam), Sahih Hadith (الحَدِيْثُ الصَّحِيْحُ) is the second reference after the Koran for understanding Islamic teachings. That's why Muslims always use it as a guide to life after the Koran, including when they look for an explanation about dua after wudu and its benefits.

In the hadith that I have quoted above, it is explained that if a Muslim has performed wudu perfectly (performed all the obligations in wudu perfectly) and said the dua after wudu as explained in the hadith, then the 8 doors of Jannah (Heaven) will be opened for him. He can enter Jannah (Heaven) through any door he wishes.

But, is it true that the 8 doors of Jannah will open after you say the dua after wudu?

For me, as a Muslim, I really believe in hadiths that have been verified for validity. So, I really believe that the 8 doors of Jannah will open after a Muslim says the dua after wudu as explained in the hadith above.

Other Hadiths About Dua After Wudu and Important Things You Should Understand

Hi! Are you still with me? At the end of this discussion, I will explain some other hadiths about dua after wudu and some important things that you should understand. Why? There are many hadiths about wudu. But unfortunately, not all of these hadiths have their validity verified. For this reason, not all hadiths about dua after wudu can be used as a basis for argumentation.

Below are two hadiths about dua after wudu and its benefits that you should understand!

عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُمَا ، قَالَ : قَالَ رَسُوْلُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : مَنْ تَوَضَّأَ فَغَسَلَ كَفَّيْهِ ثَلَاثًا ، وَاسْتَنْثَرَ ثَلَاثًا ، وَغَسَلَ وَجْهَهُ وَيَدَيْهِ ثَلَاثًا ، وَمَسَحَ رَأْسَهُ ثَلَاثًا ، وَغَسَلَ رِجْلَيْهِ ثَلَاثًا ، ثُمَّ قَالَ : أَشْهَدُ أَنْ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ وَأَنَّ مُحَمَّدًا عَبْدُهُ وَرَسُولُهُ قَبْلَ أَنْ يَتَكَلَّمَ غُفِرَ لَهُ مَا بَيْنَ الْوُضُوئَيْنِ

From Ibn Umar radliyallahu anhuma, he said, "The Messenger of Allah (Prophet Muhammad) sallallahu alaihi wa sallam said, "Whoever performs wudu, washes the palms of his hands three times, does Istinsar (breathing water into the nose) three times, washes the face and two hands three times, wiped his head three times, and washed his feet three times, then he said, "I bear witness that there is no god but Allah and that Muhammad is His Servant and Messenger," before he said anything else, then his sin was between the two wudu will be forgiven.”

The hadith above explains how to perform wudu, dhikr after wudu, and its virtues. But that's not what I want to say now. What I want to say is that the status of the hadith is “Dha'if Jiddan (ضَعِيْفٌ جِدًّا).”

عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ الخُدْرِيّ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ : مَنْ تَوَضَّأَ فَقَالَ :" سُبْحَانَكَ اللهُمَّ , وَبِحَمْدِكَ أَشْهَدُ أَنْ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا أَنْتَ , أَسْتَغْفِرُكَ وَأَتُوبُ إِلَيْكَ "، كُتِبَ فِي رَقٍّ ثُمَّ طُبِعَ بِطَابَعٍ فَلَمْ يُكْسَرْ إِلَى يَوْمِ الْقِيَامَة

From Abu Said al-Khudri radliyallahu anhu, from the Prophet (Muhammad) sallallahu alaihi wa sallam, he said, "Whoever has performed wudu and then said, "Glory be to You, O God. By praising You I testify that there is no god but You. I ask forgiveness and repent to You," then the reward will be written on paper and then printed with a print that will not be damaged until the Day of Judgment."

The hadith above explains dhikr after wudu and its virtues. But that's not what I want to say. What I want to say is that there are different opinions about the status of the hadith. Some hadith experts say that the status of the hadith is "Marfu' (مَرْفُوْعٌ)", but other hadith experts say that it is "Mauquf (مَوْقُوْفٌ)."
