وَقَالَ أَبُو يَعْلَى: حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ أَبِي بَكْرٍ الْمُقَدَّمِيُّ، ثَنَا مُبَارَكٌ هُوَ ابْنُ سُحَيْمٍ مَوْلَى عَبْدِ الْعَزِيزِ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الْعَزِيزِ بْنِ صُهَيْبٍ، عَنْ أَنَسٍ ؓ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ:
« مَثَلُ الْمَرْءِ مَثَلُ نَهَرٍ يَغْتَسِلُ مِنْهُ خَمْسَ مَرَّاتٍ، فَمَا عَسَى أَنْ يَبْقَيَنَّ عَلَيْهِ مِنْ دَرَنِهِ ؟ يَقُومُ إِلَى الْوُضُوءِ فَيَغْسِلُ يَدَيْهِ فَيَتَنَاثَرُ كُلُّ خَطِيئَةٍ فَعَلَتْهَا يَدَاهُ، وَيَتَمَضْمَضُ فَتَتَنَاثَرُ كُلُّ خَطِيئَةٍ تَكَلَّمَ بِهَا لِسَانُهُ، ثُمَّ يَغْسِلُ وَجْهَهُ فَيَتَنَاثَرُ كُلُّ خَطِيئَةٍ نَظَرَتْ بِهَا عَيْنَاهُ، ثُمَّ يَمْسَحُ رَأْسَهُ فَيَتَنَاثَرُ كُلُّ خَطِيئَةٍ سَمِعَتْهَا أُذُنَاهُ، ثُمَّ يَغْسِلُ قَدَمَيْهِ فَيَتَنَاثَرُ كُلُّ خَطِيئَةٍ مَشَتْ بِهَا قَدَمَاهُ

✧ “The likeness of a person is the likeness of a river in which he bathes five times. What dirt could remain on him? He gets up for wudu and washes his hands, and every sin his hands committed falls away. He rinses his mouth, and every sin his tongue uttered falls away. Then he washes his face, and every sin his eyes looked at falls away. Then he wipes his head, and every sin his ears heard falls away. Then he washes his feet, and every sin his feet walked toward falls away.”
