Ritual purity

Ritual purity in the jurists' terminology is lifting the state of ritual impurity and removing filth with water or tayammum; the hadith of Abu Malik al-Ash'ari sets it in a sweeping faith-scale — 'purity is half of faith', transmitted by Muslim (223), worded 'the ablution is half of faith' in al-Tirmidhi's route and 'perfecting the ablution is half of faith' in Mu'awiya ibn Salam's route in Ibn Majah; within the same hadith it stands alongside the scale-filling praise, prayer as light, almsgiving as proof, patience as radiance and the Qur'an as argument, so that purity is one of the measures by which a servant's works are weighed on the Day of Resurrection, as Ibn Rajab's commentary presents it.
