Musnad Ahmad 12106

The Prophet (may Allah’s peace and blessings be upon him) used to perform ablution upon every prayer

The Prophet (may Allah’s peace and blessings be upon him) used to perform ablution upon every prayer. I asked: "What did you guys use to do?" He said: "Ablution would remain valid for any of us until he broke it."

يَتَوَضَّأُ عِنْدَ كُلِّ صَلاَةٍ‏.‏

Narrated by Anas ibn Mālik Explained

Anas said that God’s messenger used to perform ablution for every prayer, but that they made the ablution serve as long as they did nothing which broke the state of ceremonial purity. Darimi transmitted it.

أُتِيَ بِإِنَاءٍ صَغِيرٍ فَتَوَضَّأَ ‏.‏ قُلْتُ أَكَانَ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم يَتَوَضَّأُ لِكُلِّ صَلاَةٍ قَالَ نَعَمْ ‏.‏ قَالَ فَأَنْتُمْ قَالَ كُنَّا نُصَلِّي الصَّلَوَاتِ مَا لَمْ نُحْدِثْ قَالَ وَقَدْ…

"The Prophet would perform wudu for every Salat, whether he was in state of purity or not in a state of purity."
