In the Name of Allāh, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.
As-salāmu ‘alaykum wa-rahmatullāh wa-barakātuh.
1. Ibn Sakan mentions in his Kitab Al-Huroof, the Hadith of Musaraf bin Umar which reaches up to Amar bin Kaab (Radhiyallahu Anhu) who says that I saw the Rasullah (Sallalahu Alaihi Wasallam) performing wudhu, he masah of his beard and his nape.
2. Abu Nu’aim narrates in Tarikh Asbahan the Hadith of Ibn Umer (Radhiyallahu Anhu) that Nabi (Sallalahu Alaihi Wasallam) said “Who so ever performs wudhu and makes masah of his nape is saved from the shackles on the day of Qiyamah.
3. Dailami narrates in Musnad Al-Firdous the Hadith of Ibn Umer (Radhiyallahu Anhu) that making masah of the nape is liberation from the shackles on the day of Qiyamah.
4. Abu Ubaid narrates in Kitab Al-Tuhoor from Abd Al-Rahman bin Mahdi reaching to Musa bin Talha (Radhiyallahu Anhu) that he said “who so ever makes masah of his nape with his head will be saved from the shackles on the day of Qiyamah.” Allamah Aini in the comentery of Al-Hidaya says this narration even though is is Mawquf, but it is in the level of Rafa because there can not be a personal opinion in this matters.
5. Ibn Hummam mentions the Hadith of Wa’il concerning the wudhu of Rasullah (Sallalahu Alaihi Wasallam) “and then he made masah of his head three times and the outer ears three times and the nape three times (Tirmidhi) (Allamah Lukhnowi said I could not find this narration in the Editions of Tirmidhi I had, but Allama Aini, Al-Zala’ee, and Ibn Hajr state that it is in Musnad Al-Bazzar
