وَقَالَ أَبُو يَعْلَى: حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ أَيُّوبَ، ثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ أَبِي يَزِيدَ، ثَنَا عَبَّادٌ الْمِنْقَرِيُّ، عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ زَيْدٍ، عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ الْمُسَيِّبِ، عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ ؓ قَالَ:
قَالَ لِي رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ: « يَا بُنَيَّ، عَلَيْكَ بِإِسْبَاغِ الْوُضُوءِ يُحِبَّكَ حَافِظَاكَ، وَيُزَدْ فِي عُمُرِكَ. وَيَا أَنَسُ، بَالِغْ فِي الِاسْتِنْشَاقِ فِي الْجَنَابَةِ ; فَإِنَّكَ تَخْرُجُ مِنْ مُغْتَسَلِكَ وَلَيْسَ عَلَيْكَ ذَنْبٌ وَلَا خَطِيئَةٌ ». قَالَ: قُلْتُ: كَيْفَ الْمُبَالَغَةُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ ؟ قَالَ ﷺ: « تَبُلُّ أُصُولَ الشَّعَرِ، وَتُنَقِّي الْبَشَرَةَ. يَا بُنَيَّ، إِنِ اسْتَطَعْتَ أَنْ لَا تَزَالَ عَلَى وُضُوءٍ فَإِنَّهُ مَنْ يَأْتِيهِ الْمَوْتُ وَهُوَ عَلَى وُضُوءٍ يُعْطَى الشَّهَادَةَ

✧ The Messenger of God ﷺ said to me: “O my son, keep to performing wudu thoroughly, and your guardian angels will love you, and your lifespan will be increased. O Anas, exaggerate in sniffing water into the nose after major impurity, for you will come out of your bath with no sin or error upon you.” He said: I said: “How is the exaggeration, O Messenger of God?” He ﷺ said: “Wet the roots of the hair and cleanse the skin. O my son, if you can remain in a state of wudu, then do so, for whoever death comes to while he is in a state of wudu will be granted martyrdom.”
