Summary
The hadith describes the virtue of those who perform wudhu: the Prophet's community will be called on the Day of Resurrection with shining foreheads, hands and feet. Imam al-Nawawi explains that scholars interpret the horse's white markings as light appearing on the limbs of wudhu. Some scholars encourage extending the washing of these limbs based on this hadith, yet scholars agree that washing more than three times is disliked. Wasting water should also be avoided.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Kesimpulannya, sebahagian para ulama' menggalakkan agar melebihkan basuhan air wudhuk pada anggota-anggota wudhuk.
