ذِكْرُ الْعِلَّةِ الَّتِي مِنْ أَجْلِهَا أَمَرَ بِإِسْبَاغِ الْوُضُوءِ

We returned from Mecca to Medina with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, and when we came to some water on the way, some of the people were in a hurry at the time of the afternoon prayer and performed ablution hurriedly; and when we reached them, their heels were dry, no water had touched them. The Prophet ﷺ said: Woe to (dry) heels, because of Hell-fire. Make your ablution thorough.  

رَجَعْنَا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ مِنْ مَكَّةَ إِلَى الْمَدِينَةِ حَتَّى إِذَا كُنَّا بِمَاءٍ بِالطَّرِيقِ تَعَجَّلَ قَوْمٌ عِنْدَ الْعَصْرِ فَتَوَضَّئُوا وَهُمْ عِجَالٌ فَانْتَهَيْنَا إِلَيْهِمْ وَأَعْقَابُهُمْ تَلُوحُ لَمْ يَمَسَّهَا الْمَاءُ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَيْلٌ لِلأَعْقَابِ مِنَ النَّارِ أَسْبِغُوا الْوُضُوءَ  

[Machine] We returned with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ from Mecca to Medina and we reached a water source on the way. A group of people were hurrying to perform ablution while they were in a rush for Asr prayer. We reached them and their heels were white, untouched by water. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Complete your ablution properly. Woe to the heels from the fire, complete your ablution properly."  

رَجَعْنَا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ مِنْ مَكَّةَ إِلَى الْمَدِينَةِ وَانْتَهَيْنَا إِلَى مَاءٍ بِالطَّرِيقِ فَتَعَجَّلَ قَوْمٌ يَتَوَضَّئُونَ وَهُمْ عِجَالٌ عِنْدَ صَلَاةِ الْعَصْرِ فَانْتَهَيْنَا إِلَيْهِمْ وَأَعْقَابُهُمْ بِيضٌ تَلُوحُ لَمْ يَمَسَّهَا الْمَاءُ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ أَسْبِغُوا الْوُضُوءَ وَيْلٌ لِلْأَعْقَابِ مِنَ النَّارِ أَسْبِغُوا الْوُضُوءَ
