[Machine] I washed and groomed myself nicely. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to wipe our faces, but when he approached me, he refrained from doing so. When he finished, he asked, "O Ya'la, what led you to groom yourself? Did you get married?" I replied, "No." He then said to me, "Go and wash it." I went and passed by a water container, and I dipped my hand in it and started to rub mud on myself until it vanished. Then I went back to him, and when the Prophet ﷺ saw me, he said, "He has returned with the best of his religion, Al-'Ala'. The sky has shown mercy."  

اغْتَسَلْتُ وَتَخَلَّقْتُ بِخَلُوقٍ وَكَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ يَمْسَحُ وُجُوهَنَا فَلَمَّا دَنَا مِنِّي جَعَلَ يُجَافِي يَدَهُ عَنِ الْخَلُوقِ فَلَمَّا فَرَغَ قَالَ يَا يَعْلَى مَا حَمَلَكَ عَلَى الْخَلُوقِ؟ أَتَزَوَّجْتَ؟ قُلْتُ لَا قَالَ لِي اذْهَبْ فَاغْسِلْهُ قَالَ فَمَرَرْتُ عَلَى رَكِيَّةٍ فَجَعَلْتُ أَقَعُ فِيهَا ثُمَّ جَعَلْتُ أَتَدَلَّكُ بِالتُّرَابِ حَتَّى ذَهَبَ قَالَ ثُمَّ جِئْتُ إِلَيْهِ فَلَمَّا رَآنِي النَّبِيُّ ﷺ قَالَ عَادَ بِخَيْرِ دِينِهِ الْعَلَاءُ تَابَ وَاسْتَهَلَّتِ السَّمَاءُ
