urination, ablution and doubts

Question:

after urinating i always get doubt even when i have already washed it. Since i am working, it is very unconvenient . if i am home i can change my pant or use izar. Will my doubts nulify my prayer?

Answer:

This doubt, unless it comes from a real condition of uncontrollable urine flow, is waswasa [excessive misgivings]. Take precaution against it by seeking refuge in Allah from shaytan the accursed upon entering khala‘ (toilet/WC), making tasmiya (Bismillahi ‘r-Rahmani ‘r-Raheem) at the time of wudu‘ and tahmid upon exiting, and then the du`a: Allahumma ij`alni min `ibadika al-mutatahhirin [O Allah, put me among Your purified servants], and Allah knows best.
