ذِكْرُ الْبَيَانِ بِأَنَّ التَّحْجِيلَ يَكُونُ لِلْمُتَوَضِّئِ فِي الْقِيَامَةِ مَبْلَغُ وَضُوئِهِ فِي الدُّنْيَا

He saw Abu Huraira perform ablution. He washed his face and washed his hands up to the arms. He then washed his feet and reached up to the shanks and then said: I heard Messenger of Allah ﷺ say: My people would come with bright faces and bright hands and feet on account of the marks of ablution, so he who can increase the lustre of his forehead (and that of his hands and legs) should do so. (Using translation from Muslim 246b)  

ابن حبّان:١٠٤٩أَخْبَرَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ سَلْمٍ حَدَّثَنَا حَرْمَلَةُ بْنُ يَحْيَى حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ وَهْبٍ أَخْبَرَنِي عَمْرُو بْنُ الْحَارِثِ عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ أَبِي هِلَالٍ عَنْ نُعَيْمِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ

أَنَّهُ رَأَى أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ يَتَوَضَّأُ فَغَسَلَ وَجْهَهُ وَيَدَيْهِ حَتَّى كَادَ يَبْلُغَ الْمَنْكِبَيْنِ ثُمَّ غَسَلَ رِجْلَيْهِ حَتَّى رَفَعَ إِلَى السَّاقَيْنِ ثُمَّ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ «إِنَّ أُمَّتِي يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ غُرٌّ مُحَجَّلُونَ مِنْ أَثَرِ الْوُضُوءِ» فَمَنِ اسْتَطَاعَ مِنْكُمْ أَنْ يُطِيلَ غُرَّتَهُ فَلْيَفْعَلْ

Once I went up the roof of the mosque, along with Abu Huraira. He perform ablution and said, "I heard the Prophet ﷺ saying, "On the Day of Resurrection, my followers will be called "Al-Ghurr-ul- Muhajjalun" from the trace of ablution and whoever can increase the area of his radiance should do so (i.e. by performing ablution regularly).' "

رَقِيتُ مَعَ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ عَلَى ظَهْرِ الْمَسْجِدِ فَتَوَضَّأَ فَقَالَ إِنِّي سَمِعْتُ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ يَقُولُ إِنَّ أُمَّتِي يُدْعَوْنَ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ غُرًّا مُحَجَّلِينَ مِنْ آثَارِ الْوُضُوءِ فَمَنِ اسْتَطَاعَ مِنْكُمْ أَنْ يُطِيلَ غُرَّتَهُ فَلْيَفْعَلْ

[Machine] He said, "I performed the prayer with Abu Hurairah on the back of the mosque, and he was wearing trousers under his shirt. So, he removed his trousers, then performed ablution, washed his face and hands, and then he raised his ablution water to his shoulders and his feet, and he raised it to his shins. Then he said, 'I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ saying, 'Indeed, my Ummah will come on the Day of Resurrection with radiance on their faces and limbs from the traces of ablution. So whoever among you can increase his radiance, let him do so."
