1. Purification
١۔ كِتَابُ الطَّهَارَة
He who performed ablution for prayer and performed it properly and then went (to observe) obligatory prayer and offered it along with people or with the congregation or in the mosque, Allah would pardon his sins. (Using translation from Muslim 232b)
سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يقُولُ مَنْ تَوَضَّأَ لِلصَّلَاةِ فَأَسْبَغَ الْوُضُوءَ ثُمَّ مَشَى إِلَى الصَّلَاةِ الْمَكْتُوبَةِ فَصَلَّاهَا مَعَ النَّاسِ أَوْ مَعَ الْجَمَاعَةِ أَوْ فِي الْمَسْجِدِ غُفِرَ لَهُ ذَنْبُهُ
[Machine] On the authority of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ , he said: "Shall I not inform you of what Allah erases sins with and elevates ranks with? Performing ablution in difficult situations, frequenting the mosques despite the difficulty, and waiting for prayer after prayer. That is Al-Ribaat, that is Al-Ribaat, that is Al-Ribaat." Abu Abdullah Al-Hafiz narrated to us, who is Abu Al-Fadl Ibn Ibrahim, who was informed by Ahmad Ibn Salamah, who was informed by Ishaq Ibn Musa Al-Ansari and Abdul Rahman Ibn Bishr Al-Abdi, who both said, narrating from Ma'n Ibn Isa, that it was mentioned to him in a similar manner. And Muslim Ibn Al-Hajjaj narrated it in Sahih from Ishaq Ibn Musa.
عَنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ أَنَّهُ قَالَ أَلَا أُخْبِرُكُمْ بِمَا يَمْحُو اللهُ بِهِ الْخَطَايَا وَيَرْفَعُ بِهِ الدَّرَجَاتِ إِسْبَاغُ الْوُضُوءِ عَلَى الْمَكَارِهِ وَكَثْرَةُ الْخُطَا إِلَى الْمَسَاجِدِ وَانْتِظَارُ الصَّلَاةِ بَعْدَ الصَّلَاةِ فَذَلِكُمُ الرِّبَاطُ فَذَلِكُمُ الرِّبَاطُ فَذَلِكُمُ الرِّبَاطُ 387 أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو عَبْدِ اللهِ الْحَافِظُ أنا أَبُو الْفَضْلِ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ ثنا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ ثنا إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ مُوسَى الْأَنْصَارِيُّ وَعَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ بِشْرٍ الْعَبْدِيُّ قَالَا ثنا مَعْنُ بْنُ عِيسَى نا مَالِكٌ فَذَكَرَهُ بِنَحْوِهِ وَرَوَاهُ مُسْلِمُ بْنُ الْحَجَّاجِ فِي الصَّحِيحِ عَنْ إِسْحَاقَ بْنِ مُوسَى
“Peace be upon you, abode of believing people. We will join you soon, if Allah wills.” Then he said: “Would that we could see our brothers.” They said: “O Messenger of Allah, are we not your brothers?” He said: “You are my Companions. My brothers are those who will come after me. I will reach the Cistern ahead of you.” They said: “O Messenger of Allah, how will you recognize those of your nation who have not yet come?” He said: “If a man has a horse with a blaze on its forehead and white feet, don’t you think that he will recognize it among horses that are deep black in color?” They said: “Of course.” He said: “On the Day of Resurrection they will come with radiant faces, hands, and feet, because of the traces of ablution.” He said: “I will reach the Cistern ahead of you.” Then he said: “Men will be driven away from my Cistern just as stray camels are driven away. And I will call to them: ‘Come here!’ But it will be said: ‘They changed after you were gone, and they kept turning on their heels.’ So I will say: “Be off with you!” (Using translation from Ibn Mājah 4306)
أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ خَرَجَ إِلَى الْمَقْبَرَةِ فَقَالَ السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكُمْ دَارَ قَوْمٍ مُؤْمِنِينَ وَإِنَّا إِنْ شَاءَ اللهُ بِكُمْ لَاحِقُونَ وَدِدْتُ أَنِّي قَدْ رَأَيْتُ إِخْوَانِنَا قَالُوا يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ أَوَلَسْنَا بِإِخْوَانِكَ؟ قَالَ بَلْ أَنْتُمْ أَصْحَابِي وَإِخْوَانُنَا الَّذِينَ لَمْ يأْتُوا بَعْدُ وَأَنَا فَرَطُهُمْ عَلَى الْحَوْضِ قَالُوا يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ كَيْفَ تَعْرِفُ مَنْ يأْتِي بَعْدَكَ مِنْ أُمَّتِكَ؟ قَالَ أَرَأَيْتَ لَوْ كَانَ لِرَجُلٍ خَيْلٌ غُرٌّ مُحَجَّلَةٌ فِي خَيْلٍ دُهْمٍ بُهْمٍ أَلَا يعْرَفُ خَيْلَهُ؟ قَالُوا بَلَى يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ قَالَ فَإِنَّهُمْ يَأْتُونَ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ غُرًّا مُحَجَّلِينَ مِنَ الْوُضُوءِ وَأَنَا فَرَطُهُمْ عَلَى الْحَوْضِ فَلَيُذَادَنَّ رِجَالٌ عَنْ حَوْضِي كَمَا يُذَادُ الْبَعِيرُ الضَّالُّ أُنَادِيهِمْ أَلَا هَلُمَّ أَلَا هَلُمَّ أَلَا هَلُمَّ ثَلَاثًا فَيُقَالَ إِنَّهُمْ قَدْ بَدَّلُوا فَأَقُولُ فَسُحْقًا فَسُحْقًا فَسُحْقًا 389 وَأَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو عَبْدِ اللهِ الْحَافِظُ أنا عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ مُوسَى ثنا عَلِيُّ بْنُ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ الْجُنَيْدِ نا الْأَنْصَارِيُّ يَعْنِي إِسْحَاقَ بْنَ مُوسَى نا مَعْنٌ نا مَالِكٌ بِهَذَا الْحَدِيثِ
