Sunnah of Blowing the Nose after Waking up

Sunnah of blowing the nose after waking up

After waking up from our sleep we all wash our face to freshen up. There is a beautiful sunnah of our beloved Nabi ﷺ which advise us to blow our nose three times after waking up. 

Our beloved Nabi ﷺ said, “When one of you wakes up from his sleep, he must blow his nose three times, for Shaytan spends the night in one of his nostrils.” (Muslim/Bukhari)

Note: In some narrations, we find blowing the nose is for when one makes wudhu. However, some ulama have said it can be done without wudhu.

Benefits of following this Sunnah:

1) We will get the blessings and rewards of following a Sunnah.

2) Allah Ta’ala will be happy with us.

3) The effects of Shaytan will be removed.
