Submission of Heart and Face

'Uqbah bin 'Aamir (r.a.) narrates that the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w.) said: "When a Muslim makes wudu and makes it well, then prays two rak'aat with humility and submission of his heart and his face - then Paradise is obligatory for him."-Muslim
According to Imam Nawawi, in his Sharh of Sahih Muslim, مُقْبِلٌ means Khudu' (submission) and Khushu' (humility) عَنْ عُقْبَةَ بْنِ عَامِرٍ رَضِيَ الله عَنْهُ قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: "مَا مِنْ مُسْلِمٍ يَتَوَضَّأُ فَيُحْسِنُ وُضُوءَهُ، ثُمَّ يَقُومُ فَيُصَلِّي رَكْعَتَينِ مُقْبِلٌ عَلَيهِمَا بِقَلْبِهِ وَوَجْهِهِ، إِلاَّ وَجَبَتْ لَهُ الجَنَّة. أخرجه مسلم (1/209 ، رقم234

  1. Abu Huraira (رضي الله عنه) said,

    "I heard the Messenger of Allah (صلى الله عليه وسلّم) say, 'On the Day of Rising my community will be called 'those with white blazes on their foreheads and limbs' from the effects of wudu'. So whoever of you can increase the extent of the whiteness, should do so.'"

  2. Ali (رضي الله عنه) reported that the Prophet (صلى الله عليه وسلّم) said, Completing the wudu when it is a hardship, and walking to the mosque, and waiting for the next prayer after the previous one (greatly) washes away the sins.
    [al-Hakim 1/132 - Sahih]
