"عَنْ عُقْبَةَ بْنِ عَامِرٍ الْجُهَنِي قَالَ: كُنَّا مَعَ رَسُولِ الله ﷺ في بَعْضِ أَسْفَارِهِ وَكَانَ عَلَى كُلِّ رَجُلٍ مِنَّا رِعْيَةُ الإِبِلِ يَوْمًا فَكَانَ الْيَوْمُ الَّذِى أَرْعَى فِيهِ فَانْصَرَفْتُ فَبَصُرْتُ بِالنَّبِىِّ ﷺ في حَلْقَةٍ يُحَدِّثُهُم فَسَعَيْتُ إِلَيْهِ فَأَدْرَكْتُهُ وَهُوَ يَقُولُ: مَنْ تَوَضَّأَ فَأَحْسَنَ وُضُوءَهُ ثُمَّ رَكعَ رَكْعَتَيْنِ يُرِيدُ بِهمَا وَجْهَ الله، غَفَرَ الله لَهُ مَا كَانَ قَبْلَهُمَا مِنَ الذُّنُوبِ، فَكَبَّرْتُ فَإذَا رَجُلٌ يَضْرِبُ عَلَى كَتِفِى، فَالْتَفَتُّ فَإِذَا هُوَ أبُو بَكْر الصّدِّيق فَقَالَ: الَّتِى قَبْلَهَا يَا ابْنَ عَامِرٍ أَفْضَلُ مِنْهَا، قُلْتُ: وَمَا هِىَ؟ قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ الله ﷺ مَنْ قَالَ: لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا الله يُصدِّقُ لِسَانَهُ قَلبُهُ دَخَلَ مِن أَى أَبْوَابِ الْجَنَّة الثَّمَانِيَة شَاءَ".

"From 'Uqbah ibn 'Amir al-Juhani, who said: We were with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ on some of his journeys, and each of us had a day of herding the camels. On the day when it was my turn to herd, I returned and saw the Prophet ﷺ in a circle, speaking to them. I hurried to him and caught him saying: Whoever performs ablution and does it well, then prays two rak'ahs seeking thereby the Face of Allah, Allah will forgive him the sins that came before them. I said Allahu Akbar, and suddenly a man was patting my shoulder. I turned and it was Abu Bakr al-Siddiq, who said: The one before it, O son of 'Amir, is better than it. I said: And what is it? He said: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: Whoever says: There is no god but Allah, and his heart confirms what his tongue says, he enters by whichever of the eight gates of Paradise he wishes."
