The Sunnah in daily life

The first minutes set the tone for the whole day. This is how he ﷺ began his. To learn them by heart, see the duas for waking up on Morning and Evening Adhkar.

• Thank Allah for waking up. When he ﷺ woke, he said Al-hamdu lillahil-ladhi ahyana ba’da ma amatana wa ilayhin-nushur: praise be to Allah, who gave us life after He had made us die, and to Him we will be raised. Bukhari 6312, sahih (al-Bukhari)
• Wipe the sleep from your face. Ibn Abbas watched him ﷺ wake in the night, rub the sleep from his face with his hands and recite the last ten ayat of Surah Al Imran before making wudu. Bukhari 183, sahih (al-Bukhari)
• Reach for the miswak. Whenever he ﷺ got up in the night, he cleaned his mouth with the miswak. Bukhari 245, sahih (al-Bukhari)
• Wash your hands first. He ﷺ said that on waking you should wash your hands three times before putting them into a water vessel, because you do not know where your hand was during the night. Muslim 278d, sahih (Muslim)
• Untie the three knots. He ﷺ said Shaytan ties three knots on a sleeper. Remembering Allah on waking undoes one, wudu undoes the second and prayer undoes the third, and you start the day lively and good-hearted. Bukhari 1142, sahih (al-Bukhari)

Even the bathroom has its Sunnah. The duas here are short and easy to learn. To learn them by heart, see the duas for the toilet and wudu on Morning and Evening Adhkar.

• Say Bismillah. He ﷺ said that saying Bismillah as you go into the toilet is a screen between the eyes of the jinn and a person’s private parts. Tirmidhi 606, sahih (al-Albani)
• The dua for going in. As he ﷺ went in, he said Allahumma inni a’udhu bika minal-khubuthi wal-khaba’ith: O Allah, I seek Your protection from evil and from evil ones. Bukhari 142, sahih (al-Bukhari)
• Left for the toilet, right for the rest. He ﷺ kept his right hand for purifying himself and for food, and his left for the toilet and anything unclean, and he said not to clean yourself with your right hand. No sound hadith names the foot for the toilet; scholars took “left foot in, right foot out” from this same habit. Abu Dawud 33, sahih (al-Albani); Bukhari 153, sahih (al-Bukhari)
• The dua for coming out. As he ﷺ came out, he said Ghufranak: I ask for Your forgiveness. Abu Dawud 30, sahih (al-Albani)

He ﷺ loved to be clean, and the miswak was never far from him. A miswak is a twig, usually from the arak tree, used to clean the teeth.

• Begin with Allah’s name. He ﷺ said there is no wudu for the one who does not mention Allah’s name over it. Tirmidhi 25, hasan (al-Albani)
• Start with the right. Aishah said he ﷺ liked to start with the right when purifying himself, combing his hair and putting on his shoes, and in everything else. Bukhari 168, sahih (al-Bukhari)
• Go easy on the water. He ﷺ made wudu with one mudd of water, a small measure, about what two cupped hands hold, and bathed with a sa’ up to five mudds. Bukhari 201, sahih (al-Bukhari)
• The words after wudu. He ﷺ said that whoever makes wudu well and then says Ashhadu an la ilaha illallah, wa anna Muhammadan ’abduhu wa rasuluh will find the eight gates of Paradise open, to enter by whichever he wishes. Muslim 234a, sahih (Muslim)
• Pray after wudu. The Prophet ﷺ heard Bilal’s footsteps ahead of him in Paradise. Bilal said the deed he had most hope in was praying whatever he could after every wudu, by day or by night. Bukhari 1149, sahih (al-Bukhari)
• Miswak before every prayer. He ﷺ said that if it would not be too hard on his people, he would have ordered them to use the miswak for every prayer. He also said the miswak cleans the mouth and pleases the Lord. Bukhari 887, sahih (al-Bukhari); Nasa’i 5, sahih (al-Albani)

Two notes. On Bismillah before wudu, al-Tirmidhi records under this hadith that Imam Ahmad knew of no hadith on it with a strong chain, while al-Bukhari called this one the best on the topic. Scholars differ on whether it is required or recommended. And the well-known hadith about not wasting water “even if you are on the bank of a flowing river” is weak (Ibn Majah 425, da’if (al-Albani)), so we have not used it above.

Looking after yourself is part of the Sunnah, not vanity. He ﷺ dressed simply and cleanly. To learn it by heart, see the dua for new clothes on Morning and Evening Adhkar.

• Allah loves beauty. A man asked whether liking nice clothes and nice shoes was pride. He ﷺ said Allah is beautiful and loves beauty; pride is rejecting the truth and looking down on people. Muslim 91a, sahih (Muslim)
• Shoes: right on first, left off first. He ﷺ said to put on the right shoe first and take off the left one first, and not to walk around in just one shoe. Bukhari 5855, sahih (al-Bukhari); Bukhari 5856, sahih (al-Bukhari)
• The dua for new clothes. When he ﷺ put on something new, he named it, a shirt or a turban, and said Allahumma lakal-hamdu anta kasawtanih: O Allah, praise is Yours, You clothed me in it. Then he asked for its good and the good it was made for, and for protection from its harm. Abu Dawud 4020, sahih (al-Albani)
• White clothes. He ﷺ said to wear white, as it is among your best clothes, and to shroud your dead in it. He wore other colours too: al-Bara’ once saw him in a red outfit. Tirmidhi 994, sahih (al-Albani); Bukhari 5848, sahih (al-Bukhari)
• Perfume. He ﷺ never turned down a gift of perfume. Bukhari 2582, sahih (al-Bukhari)
• Nails, hair and the fitrah. He ﷺ named five acts of the fitrah, our natural way: circumcision, removing pubic hair, trimming the moustache, clipping the nails and plucking the underarm hair. Anas said a time limit was set for them: the moustache, nails, underarm hair and pubic hair were not to be left longer than forty nights. Bukhari 5891, sahih (al-Bukhari); Muslim 258, sahih (Muslim)

Most of the Sunnah is lived at home, from the front door to the housework. To learn them by heart, see the duas for leaving and entering home on Morning and Evening Adhkar.

• Come in with Allah’s name. He ﷺ said that when you mention Allah as you come in and as you eat, Shaytan tells his followers there is no place to sleep and no dinner for them here. Muslim 2018a, sahih (Muslim)
• Greet the people inside. Allah says: “But when you enter houses, give greetings of peace upon each other.” Qur’an 24:61
• Miswak as you walk in. Aishah was asked what he ﷺ did first when he came home. She said: the miswak. Muslim 253a, sahih (Muslim)
• The dua for going out. He ﷺ said that whoever leaves home saying Bismillah, tawakkaltu ’alallah, la hawla wa la quwwata illa billah (in Allah’s name, I trust in Allah, there is no power or strength except through Allah) is told: you are guided, looked after and protected. And the devils move away from him. Abu Dawud 5095, sahih (al-Albani)
• Help with the housework. Aishah said he ﷺ kept busy serving his family, and when the time for prayer came, he went out to pray. Bukhari 676, sahih (al-Bukhari)
• Pray some prayers at home. He ﷺ said to pray some of your prayers at home and not to make your houses like graves. He also said Shaytan runs from a house where Surah al-Baqarah is recited. Bukhari 432, sahih (al-Bukhari); Muslim 780, sahih (Muslim)

The masjid was the centre of his ﷺ day. A few small manners turn the walk there into worship. To learn them by heart, see the duas for the adhan and the masjid on Morning and Evening Adhkar.

• Come fresh. Allah says: “O children of Adam, take your adornment at every masjid.” He ﷺ told anyone who had eaten onion or leek not to come near the masjid, since the angels are bothered by what bothers people. Qur’an 7:31; Muslim 564a, sahih (Muslim)
• Every step counts. He ﷺ said that when you make wudu at home and walk to the masjid for one of the obligatory prayers, one step wipes away a sin and the other raises you a degree. Muslim 666, sahih (Muslim)
• Walk, do not run. He ﷺ said that when you hear the iqamah, walk to the prayer calmly and with dignity. Pray what you catch and complete what you missed. Bukhari 636, sahih (al-Bukhari)
• Right foot in, left foot out. Aishah said he ﷺ liked to start with the right in all his affairs, as far as he could. Al-Bukhari placed this hadith in a chapter on entering the masjid, noting that Ibn Umar stepped in with his right foot and out with his left. Bukhari 426, sahih (al-Bukhari)
• The duas at the door. He ﷺ taught us to say on the way in Allahummaf-tah li abwaba rahmatik (O Allah, open the doors of Your mercy for me), and on the way out Allahumma inni as’aluka min fadlik (O Allah, I ask You of Your bounty). Muslim 713a, sahih (Muslim)
• Two rak’ahs before you sit. He ﷺ said that whoever enters the masjid should pray two rak’ahs before sitting down. Bukhari 444, sahih (al-Bukhari)

He ﷺ ate simply and gratefully, and he taught moderation. For the foods themselves, from dates to honey, see Sunnah foods and the foods of the Qur’an. For the words to say before and after a meal, see the duas for eating on Morning and Evening Adhkar.

• Bismillah, right hand, what is near you. He ﷺ told the boy Umar ibn Abi Salamah, whose hand wandered all over the dish: say Allah’s name, eat with your right hand and eat from what is in front of you. Bukhari 5376, sahih (al-Bukhari)
• If you forgot Bismillah. He ﷺ said that if you forget to say Allah’s name at the start, say Bismillahi awwalahu wa akhirah: in Allah’s name, at its start and at its end. Abu Dawud 3767, sahih (al-Albani)
• Eat from the edge. He ﷺ said the blessing comes down into the middle of the food, so eat from its sides and leave the middle. Tirmidhi 1805, sahih (al-Albani)
• Never criticise food. He ﷺ never found fault with food. If he liked it, he ate it; if not, he left it. Bukhari 5409, sahih (al-Bukhari)
• Three fingers, then lick them. He ﷺ ate with three fingers and licked them when he finished. He said that if a bite falls, pick it up, wipe off any dirt and eat it rather than leave it for Shaytan, since you do not know which part of your food holds the blessing. Muslim 2032c, sahih (Muslim); Muslim 2033b, sahih (Muslim)
• Sit humbly, do not recline. He ﷺ said, “I do not eat reclining.” Anas saw him eat dates sitting low on his haunches. Bukhari 5398, sahih (al-Bukhari); Muslim 2044a, sahih (Muslim)
• Eat together. He ﷺ said food for one is enough for two, food for two is enough for four, and food for four is enough for eight. Muslim 2059a, sahih (Muslim)
• Leave room. He ﷺ said no one fills a vessel worse than his stomach. A few bites to keep your back straight are enough, and if you need more, then a third for food, a third for drink and a third for breathing. Tirmidhi 2380, sahih (al-Albani)
• Drink in three breaths. He ﷺ took three breaths while drinking, away from the cup, and said it quenches thirst better, is healthier and goes down more easily. He forbade breathing or blowing into the cup. Muslim 2028b, sahih (Muslim); Tirmidhi 1888, sahih (al-Albani)
• Sitting or standing to drink. He ﷺ forbade drinking while standing. Yet he also drank Zamzam standing, and Ali drank standing and said he had seen the Prophet ﷺ do the same. Muslim 2024b, sahih (Muslim); Bukhari 1637, sahih (al-Bukhari); Bukhari 5615, sahih (al-Bukhari)
• Praise Allah after. When his meal was cleared away, he ﷺ said Al-hamdu lillahi kathiran tayyiban mubarakan fih: praise be to Allah, much praise, good and blessed. He said Allah is pleased with a servant who eats or drinks and then praises Him for it. Bukhari 5458, sahih (al-Bukhari); Muslim 2734a, sahih (Muslim)
• Pray for your host. As a guest, he ﷺ prayed for the family: Allahumma barik lahum fima razaqtahum, waghfir lahum warhamhum: O Allah, bless them in what You have given them, forgive them and have mercy on them. Muslim 2042a, sahih (Muslim)

Where scholars differ. On reclining, al-Khattabi explained it as sitting settled back on a cushion, the way someone sits who means to eat a lot, while others explained it as leaning on one side. On drinking while standing, al-Nawawi explained that the forbidding means sitting is better, and that the Prophet ﷺ drinking standing shows it is allowed. Other scholars weighed these narrations differently, some more strictly.

He ﷺ was gentle in how he sat, walked and lay down, and he taught people to make room for each other.

• Make room. Allah says: “when you are told, ‘Space yourselves’ in assemblies, then make space; Allah will make space for you.” He ﷺ forbade making someone get up so that you can take his seat. Qur’an 58:11; Bukhari 6270, sahih (al-Bukhari)
• Sit where the circle ends. Jabir ibn Samurah said that when they came to the Prophet ﷺ, each of them sat down wherever the gathering ended. Tirmidhi 2725, sahih (al-Albani)
• Do not split two people. He ﷺ said it is not right to sit between two people and separate them without their permission. Tirmidhi 2752, hasan sahih (al-Albani)
• End the sitting well. He ﷺ said that whoever says before getting up Subhanakallahumma wa bihamdik, ashhadu an la ilaha illa ant, astaghfiruka wa atubu ilayk is forgiven whatever happened in that sitting. Tirmidhi 3433, sahih (al-Albani)
• Walk with purpose, and gently. Ali described him ﷺ walking leaning slightly forward, as if coming down a slope. And Allah says: “And the servants of the Most Merciful are those who walk upon the earth easily.” Tirmidhi 3637, sahih (al-Albani); Qur’an 25:63
• Sit on after Fajr. After Fajr he ﷺ sat cross-legged in his place until the sun had risen well. Muslim 670b, sahih (Muslim); Abu Dawud 4850, sahih (al-Albani)
• Not on your stomach. He ﷺ saw a man lying on his stomach and said this is a way of lying that Allah does not love. Tirmidhi 2768, hasan sahih (al-Albani)
• Lying on your back. A Companion saw him ﷺ lying on his back in the masjid with one leg over the other. In another hadith he forbade lying on the back with one foot raised over the other. Bukhari 475, sahih (al-Bukhari); Muslim 2099c, sahih (Muslim)

On lying on the stomach, a longer story says the same (Abu Dawud 5040, da’if (al-Albani)); the Tirmidhi hadith above is the one graded sound. On lying on the back, al-Nawawi and others explained that the prohibition is about a way of lying that could uncover the body, while the Prophet’s ﷺ own practice shows it is fine when you are covered.

He ﷺ made the greeting of peace a way to build love between people. It costs nothing, and anyone can start.

• Spread salam. He ﷺ said you will not enter Paradise until you believe, and you will not believe until you love one another, and spreading salam is the way to that love. He also said to greet those you know and those you do not. Muslim 54a, sahih (Muslim); Bukhari 12, sahih (al-Bukhari)
• Be the first to greet. He ﷺ said the people closest to Allah are those who greet first. The younger greets the older, the one passing by greets the one sitting, and the smaller group greets the larger. Abu Dawud 5197, sahih (al-Albani); Bukhari 6231, sahih (al-Bukhari)
• Say it in full. A man said As-salamu ’alaykum, and he ﷺ said, “Ten.” Another added wa rahmatullah: “Twenty.” A third added wa barakatuh: “Thirty.” Tirmidhi 2689, sahih (al-Albani)
• Salam coming and going. He ﷺ said to give salam when you join a gathering and again when you leave it, for the first is no more deserving than the last. Tirmidhi 2706, hasan sahih (al-Albani)
• Shake hands. Anas was asked whether the Companions shook hands, and he said yes. He ﷺ said two Muslims who meet and shake hands are forgiven before they part. Bukhari 6263, sahih (al-Bukhari); Abu Dawud 5212, sahih (al-Albani)
• Smile. He ﷺ said your smile in your brother’s face is charity. Jarir said that from the day he became Muslim, the Prophet ﷺ never saw him without smiling at him. Tirmidhi 1956, sahih (al-Albani); Bukhari 6089, sahih (al-Bukhari)

Even a sneeze turns into a short exchange of duas between two people.

• Sneeze, praise, reply. He ﷺ said: when you sneeze, say Al-hamdu lillah. The one who hears says Yarhamukallah (may Allah have mercy on you), and you answer Yahdikumullahu wa yuslihu balakum (may Allah guide you and set your affairs right). Bukhari 6224, sahih (al-Bukhari)
• Only if he praised Allah. Two men sneezed near him ﷺ. He replied to one and not the other, and explained that the first had praised Allah and the second had not. Bukhari 6221, sahih (al-Bukhari)
• Cover your face. When he ﷺ sneezed, he put his hand or his garment over his face and kept the sound low. Tirmidhi 2745, hasan sahih (al-Albani)
• Hold back a yawn. He ﷺ said yawning is from Shaytan, so hold it back as much as you can, and put your hand over your mouth. Bukhari 6226, sahih (al-Bukhari); Muslim 2995a, sahih (Muslim)

His ﷺ bedtime routine is short and full of protection. Try adding one piece tonight. To learn them by heart, see the duas before sleep on Morning and Evening Adhkar.

• Sleep early. He ﷺ disliked sleeping before Isha and chatting after it. Bukhari 568, sahih (al-Bukhari)
• Wudu, right side, and this dua. He ﷺ told al-Bara’ to make wudu as for prayer, lie on his right side and say Allahumma aslamtu wajhi ilayk, a dua handing himself and all his affairs over to Allah, and to make it the last thing he said. Whoever dies that night dies on the fitrah. Bukhari 247, sahih (al-Bukhari)
• Dust off the bed. He ﷺ said to shake out your bed with the edge of your garment, since you do not know what has got onto it, then say Bismika rabbi wada’tu janbi wa bika arfa’uh: in Your name, my Lord, I lie down, and by You I rise. Bukhari 6320, sahih (al-Bukhari)
• Right hand under your cheek. He ﷺ lay with his right hand under his cheek and said three times Allahumma qini ’adhabaka yawma tab’athu ’ibadak: O Allah, protect me from Your punishment on the day You raise Your servants. He would also say Allahumma bismika amutu wa ahya: O Allah, in Your name I die and I live. Abu Dawud 5045, sahih (al-Albani); Bukhari 6314, sahih (al-Bukhari)
• Ayat al-Kursi. A thief caught by Abu Hurayrah told him that if he recites Ayat al-Kursi in bed, a guard from Allah stays with him and no devil comes near him until morning. The Prophet ﷺ said: he told you the truth, though he is a liar, and it was Shaytan. Bukhari 2311, sahih (al-Bukhari)
• The last two ayat of al-Baqarah. He ﷺ said that whoever recites the last two ayat of Surah al-Baqarah at night, they will be enough for him. Bukhari 5009, sahih (al-Bukhari)
• The three Quls. Every night in bed he ﷺ cupped his hands, blew into them and recited al-Ikhlas, al-Falaq and al-Nas, then wiped his hands over as much of his body as he could, starting with his head and face. He did this three times. Bukhari 5017, sahih (al-Bukhari)
• 33, 33, 34. When Fatimah asked for a servant, he ﷺ taught her and Ali to say Subhanallah 33 times, Al-hamdu lillah 33 times and Allahu akbar 34 times when they went to bed, and said this was better for them than a servant. Bukhari 5361, sahih (al-Bukhari)
• Surah al-Kafirun. He ﷺ told Nawfal to recite Qul ya ayyuhal-kafirun and then sleep at the end of it, for it is a declaration of freedom from shirk. Abu Dawud 5055, sahih (al-Albani)
• After a bad dream. He ﷺ said that if you see a dream you dislike, spit lightly to your left three times, seek refuge with Allah from Shaytan three times and turn onto your other side. Muslim 2262, sahih (Muslim)

Friday has its own small Sunnahs. Together they make the day feel different from the rest of the week.

• The best day. He ﷺ said the best day the sun rises on is Friday: on it Adam was created, on it he entered Paradise and on it he was sent out of it. Muslim 854a, sahih (Muslim)
• Ghusl, miswak and perfume. He ﷺ said the Friday ghusl is wajib on every adult, along with using the miswak and wearing perfume if you can find some. Bukhari 880, sahih (al-Bukhari)
• Go early. He ﷺ said that whoever goes in the first hour is like one who offers a camel, and after that a cow, a ram, a hen and finally an egg. When the imam comes out, the angels come in to listen. Bukhari 881, sahih (al-Bukhari)
• The whole Friday. He ﷺ said that whoever bathes, cleans himself, puts on oil or perfume, goes without pushing between two people, prays what is written for him and listens quietly to the khutbah is forgiven what lies between that Friday and the one before. Bukhari 883, sahih (al-Bukhari)
• Send salawat. He ﷺ said to send many blessings on him on Friday, because your blessings are shown to him. Abu Dawud 1047, sahih (al-Albani)
• The hour of answer. He ﷺ said there is an hour on Friday when a Muslim who is praying and asks Allah for something is given it, and he showed with his hand how short it is. Bukhari 935, sahih (al-Bukhari)
• Surah al-Kahf. Many Muslims read al-Kahf every Friday; the hadith that names Friday is in the note below. In Sahih Muslim, he ﷺ said that whoever memorises the first ten ayat of Surah al-Kahf is protected from the Dajjal. Muslim 809a, sahih (Muslim)

Two notes. On the ghusl, scholars read the word wajib differently: many held that it means strongly urged, pointing to the hadith that wudu on Friday is fine and ghusl is better (Tirmidhi 497, sahih (al-Albani)), while others held that the ghusl is required. On reading al-Kahf on Friday, the hadith that names Friday is not in Bukhari or Muslim. Al-Hakim reports from Abu Sa’id al-Khudri that whoever reads al-Kahf on Friday has a light shining for him between the two Fridays. Ibn Hajar called it hasan and al-Albani graded it sahih, while al-Nasa’i held it more likely to be Abu Sa’id’s own words.

He ﷺ travelled often, for Hajj, for Umrah and with his Companions. These habits come from the road. To learn them by heart, see the duas for travel on Morning and Evening Adhkar.

• Setting out. He ﷺ liked to set out on a Thursday. He said that when three people travel together, they should choose one of them to lead. Bukhari 2950, sahih (al-Bukhari); Abu Dawud 2608, hasan sahih (al-Albani)
• The travel dua. Seated on his camel, he ﷺ said Allahu akbar three times, then Subhanal-ladhi sakhkhara lana hadha wa ma kunna lahu muqrinin, wa inna ila rabbina lamunqalibun: glory be to Him who made this serve us, which we could not have done ourselves, and to our Lord we will return. Then he asked Allah for goodness and an easy trip. Muslim 1342, sahih (Muslim)
• Where you stop. He ﷺ said that whoever stops somewhere and says A’udhu bi kalimatillahit-tammati min sharri ma khalaq (I seek refuge in Allah’s perfect words from the evil of what He has created) will not be harmed by anything until he moves on. Muslim 2708a, sahih (Muslim)
• Head home soon. He ﷺ said travel is a kind of hardship that keeps you from proper food, drink and sleep, so once your work is done, hurry back to your family. Bukhari 1804, sahih (al-Bukhari)
• Coming home. On the way back he ﷺ added Ayibuna, ta’ibuna, ’abiduna, li rabbina hamidun: returning, repenting, worshipping and praising our Lord. Arriving in the morning, he went first to the masjid and prayed two rak’ahs before sitting. Muslim 1342, sahih (Muslim); Bukhari 3088, sahih (al-Bukhari)

He ﷺ met the weather with dua, and he saw rain as a fresh gift from Allah. To learn them by heart, see the duas for rain and wind on Morning and Evening Adhkar.

• When it rains. On seeing rain he ﷺ said Sayyiban nafi’an: a beneficial rain. He taught that whoever says mutirna bi fadlillahi wa rahmatih (we were given rain by Allah’s grace and mercy) believes in Allah, and whoever credits it to a star does not. Bukhari 1032, sahih (al-Bukhari); Bukhari 846, sahih (al-Bukhari)
• Feel the rain. He ﷺ uncovered part of his body so the rain fell on it, explaining that it had just come from its Lord. Muslim 898, sahih (Muslim)
• Too much rain. When rain had fallen for a week, he ﷺ raised his hands and said Allahumma hawalayna wa la ’alayna: O Allah, around us and not on us. Bukhari 1013, sahih (al-Bukhari)
• When the wind is strong. In a strong wind he ﷺ asked Allah for its good and the good it was sent with, and sought refuge in Him from its harm and the harm it was sent with. Muslim 899b, sahih (Muslim)
