O Lord, make me of those who repent and of those who cleanse themselves. All praise belongs to Allah, the Cherisher of the worlds.’”

If you wash your buttocks clean but forget washing your urethra clean and perform Salah (prayer), you must take Wudu’, wash your urethra and perform your Salah (prayer) again. It is because urine is not like feces.’”
