[Machine] I passed by the Prophet ﷺ while I was in a state of major ritual impurity, and he said, "O Ya'la, do you have a wife?" I replied, "No." He then said, "Go and perform ritual ablution, then repeat it, then repeat it again, and do not perform any further actions." So, I performed the ritual ablution, then repeated it, then repeated it again, and I did not perform any further actions.

مَرَرْتُ عَلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ وَأَنَا مُتَخَلِّقٌ فَقَالَ يَا يَعْلَى أَلَكَ امْرَأَةٌ قُلْتُ لَا قَالَ فَاذْهَبْ فَاغْسِلْهُ ثُمَّ اغْسِلْهُ ثُمَّ اغْسِلْهُ ثُمَّ لَا تَعُدْ قَالَ فَغَسَلْتُهُ ثُمَّ غَسَلْتُهُ ثُمَّ غَسَلْتُهُ ثُمَّ لَمْ أَعُدْ
