حَدَّثَنَا سُوَيْدُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الأَحْوَصِ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ عَنِ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ سَعْدٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ عَلِيٍّ قَالَ
جَاءَ رَجُلٌ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَقَالَ إِنِّي اغْتَسَلْتُ مِنَ الْجَنَابَةِ وَصَلَّيْتُ الْفَجْرَ ثُمَّ أَصْبَحْتُ فَرَأَيْتُ قَدْرَ مَوْضِعِ الظُّفْرِ لَمْ يُصِبْهُ الْمَاءُ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ لَوْ كُنْتَ مَسَحْتَ عَلَيْهِ بِيَدِكَ أَجْزَأَكَ

"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.'"
