The one who dies in a state of Wudū is a martyr

The beloved Messenger of Allâh şallAllāhu álayhi wa sallam said to Sayyidunā Anas rađiyAllāhu ánhu,

Son! If you can spend all your time in a state of Wudhu then do so, because when the Angel of death captures the soul of a person in a state of Wudhu, he is written down as a martyr.[1]

Imâm Ahmad Rida al-Qâdrī rađiyAllāhu ánhu states [from this Hadīth we learn] that to remain in a state of Wudū at all times is desirable.[2]
