"عن علِىٍّ قال: جَاءَ رَجُلٌ إِلَى النّبِىِّ ﷺ فَقَالَ: إِنِّى اغْتَسَلتُ مِنَ الْجَنَابَةِ، وَصَلَّيْتُ الْفَجْرَ، ثُمَّ أَصْبَحْتُ فَرَأَيْتُ قَدْرَ مَوْضِع الظُّفُرِ لَمْ يُصِب الْمَاء، فقال رَسُول الله ﷺ لَوْ كُنْتَ مَسَحْتَ عَلَيْهِ بِيَدِكَ أجْزَأَكَ".

"A man came to the Prophet and said: 'I bathed to cleanse myself from sexual impurity, and I prayed Fajr, then I noticed a spot the size of a fingernail that the water did not reach.' The Messenger of Allah said: 'If you had wiped it that would have been sufficient for you.'"
