قَالَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ: حَدَّثَنَا الْفَضْلُ بْنُ دُكَيْنٍ، ثَنَا زُهَيْرٌ، عَنْ جَابِرٍ، عَنْ سَعْدِ بْنِ عُبَيْدَةَ، عَنْ صِلَةَ بْنِ زُفَرَ، عَنْ حُذَيْفَةَ ؓ، قَالَ:

قُمْتُ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ لَيْلَةً مِنْ رَمَضَانَ، فَقَامَ يَغْتَسِلُ وَسَتَرْتُهُ، فَفَضَلَتْ مِنْهُ فَضْلَةٌ فِي الْإِنَاءِ، فَقَالَ: « إِنْ شِئْتَ فَأَرِقْهُ، وَإِنْ شِئْتَ فَصُبَّ عَلَيْهِ ». فَقُلْتُ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، هَذِهِ الْفَضْلَةُ أَحَبُّ إِلَيَّ مِمَّا أَصُبُّ عَلَيْهِ. قَالَ: فَاغْتَسَلْتُ بِهِ، وَسَتَرَنِي ﷺ. فَقُلْتُ: لَا تَسْتُرْنِي ! فَقَالَ ﷺ: « بَلْ، سَتَرْتُكَ كَمَا سَتَرْتَنِي

✧ I stood with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ on a night of Ramadan. He got up to perform ghusl while I screened him. Some water remained in the vessel, and he said: “If you wish, pour it out, or if you wish, pour it over yourself.” I said: “O Messenger of Allah, this leftover water is dearer to me than what I would pour over myself.” He said: “So I performed ghusl with it, and he ﷺ screened me. I said: “Do not screen me!” He ﷺ said: “Rather, I screened you just as you screened me.”
