Hadith 33776
Yahya related to me from Malik from Abu'zZinad from al-Araj from
Abu Hurayra that the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant
him peace, said, "When you wake up from sleep to pray, wash your hands
before you put them in the wudu water, for you do not know where your
hands have spent the night."
Muwatta Malik Book 2, Hadith 7

Yahya related to me from Malik from Yahya ibn Muhammad ibn
Talhafrom Uthman ibn Abd ar-Rahman that his father related to him that
he had heard that Umar ibn al-Khattab used to wash what was beneath
his waist wrapper with water.
Yahya said that Malik was asked what a man should do if, when he
did wudu, he forgot and washed his face before he had rinsed his
mouth, or washed his forearms before he had washed his face. He said,
"If someone washes his face before rinsing his mouth, he should rinse
his mouth and not wash his face again. If someone washes his forearms
before his face, however, he should wash his forearms again so that he
has washed them after his face. This is if he is still near the place
(of wudu)."
Yahya said that Malik was asked about what a man should do if he
had forgotten to rinse his mouth and nose until he had prayed, and he
said, "He does not have to repeat the prayer, but should rinse his
mouth and nose if he wishes to do any more prayers after that." Muwatta Malik Book 2, Hadith 6
