Chapter: Wudu (washing hands clean) before and after Food عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِي٠َ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي عُ٠َيْرٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَوْفٍ الْبَجَلِيِّ قَالَ سَ٠ِعْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلا٠) يَقُولُ الْوُضُوءُ قَبْلَ الطَّعَا٠ِ وَ بَعْدَهُ يَزِيدَانِ فِي الرِّزْقِ.وَ رُوِيَ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ( صلى الله عليه وآله ) قَالَ أَوَّلُهُ يَنْفِي الْفَقْرَ وَ آخِرُهُ يَنْفِي الْهَ٠5.

Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father from ibn abu ‘ Umayr from abu ‘ Awf al-Bajaliy who has said the following: “I once heard abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), saying, ‘Wudu before and after eating food increases one’s sustenance.’ It is narrated that the Messenger of Allah has said, ‘Wudu before eating food removes poverty and that which is after food removes depression.’” رسل - Allamah Baqir al-Majlisi (Mirʾāt al-ʿUqūl fī Sharḥ Akhbār Āl al-Rasūl (22/103))
