[Machine] I heard Abu Umamah say, "There is no Muslim who hears the call to prayer and then performs ablution except that he is forgiven with the first drop of water that touches his hands. After that drop, Allah forgives him for his past sins, and then he stands up for his voluntary prayer." I said, "Did you hear this from the Messenger of Allah ﷺ , O Abu Umamah?" He said, "By the One who sent him with the truth as a bringer of glad tidings and a warner, not once, nor twice, nor three times, nor four times, nor ten times." And he gestured with his hand.
سَمِعْتُ أَبَا أُمَامَةَ يَقُولُ «مَا مِنْ مُسْلِمٍ يَسْمَعُ أَذَانًا فَقَامَ إِلَى وُضُوئِهِ إِلَّا غُفِرَ لَهُ فِي أَوَّلِ قَطْرَةٍ يَصُبُّ كَفُّهُ مِنْ ذَلِكَ الْمَاءِ فَبَعْدَ ذَلِكَ الْقَطْرِ يَغْفِرُ اللهُ لَهُ مَا سَلَفَ مِنْ ذُنُوبِهِ فَيَقُومُ إِلَى صَلَاتِهِ وَهِيَ نَافِلَةٌ» قُلْتُ أَنْتَ سَمِعْتَ هَذَا مِنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ يَا أَبَا أُمَامَةَ؟ قَالَ «وَالَّذِي بَعَثَهُ بِالْحَقِّ بَشِيرًا وَنَذِيرًا غَيْرَ مَرَّةٍ وَلَا مَرَّتَيْنِ وَلَا ثَلَاثًا وَلَا أَرْبَعًا وَلَا عَشْرًا» وَطَبَّقَ بِيَدِهِ
