"عَنْ عُقْبَة بْنِ عَامِرٍ قَالَ: جِئْتُ في اثْنَى عَشَرَ رَاكِبًا حَتَّى حَلَلْنَا بِرَسُولِ الله ﷺ فَقَالَ أَصْحَابِى: مَنْ يَرْعَى لَنَا إِبِلَنَا وَنَنْطَلِقُ فَنَقْتَبِسُ مِنْ رسُولِ الله ﷺ فَإِذَا رَاحَ وَرُحْنَا اقْتَبَسْنَاهُ مِمَّا سَمِعْنَا مِنْ رَسُولِ الله ﷺ فَفَعَلْتُ ذَلِكَ أَيَّامًا، ثُمَّ إِنِّى فَكَّرْتُ فِى نَفْسِى فَقُلْتُ لَعَلِّى مَغْبُونٌ؛ يَسْمَعُ أَصْحَابِى مَا لَمْ أَسْمَعْ، وَيَتَعَلَّمُونَ مَا لَمْ أتَعَلَّمْ مِنْ نَبِىِّ الله ﷺ فَحَضرتُ يَوْمًا فَسَمِعْتُ رَجُلًا يَقُولُ: قَالَ نَبىُّ الله ﷺ مَنْ تَوَضَّأَ وُضُوءًا كَامِلًا كَانَ مِنْ خَطِيئَتهِ كَيْومَ وَلَدَتْهُ أُمُّهُ فَتَعَجَّبْتُ لِذَلِكَ، فَقَالَ عُمَرُ بْنُ الْخَطَّاب: فَكَيْفَ لَوْ سَمِعْتَ الْكَلَامَ الأَوَّلَ؟ كُنْتَ أَشَدَّ عَجَبًا، فَقُلْتُ: ارْدُدْ عَلَىَّ جَعَلَنِى الله فِدَاكَ، قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ الله ﷺ مَنْ مَاتَ لَا يُشْرِكُ بِالله شَيْئًا فَتَحَ الله لَهُ أَبْوَابَ الْجَنَّة يَدْخُلُ مِنْ أَيِّها شَاءَ، وَلَهَا ثَمَانِيَةُ أَبْوَابٍ، قَالَ: فَخَرَجَ عَلَيْنَا نَبِىُّ الله فَجَلَسْتُ مَسْتَقْبِلَهُ فَصَرَفَ وَجهَهُ عنِّى حَتَّى فَعَلَ ذَلِكَ مِرارًا، فَلَمَّا كَانَتِ الرَّابِعَةُ، قُلْتُ: يَا نَبِىَّ الله بِأَبِى وَأمِّى لِمَ تَصْرِفُ وَجْهَكَ عَنِّى؟ فَأَقْبَلَ عَلىَّ فَقَالَ: "أَوَاحِدٌ أَحَبُّ إِلَيْكَ أَمِ اِثْنَا عَشَرَ؟ فَلَمَّا رَأَيتُ ذَلِكَ رَجَعْتُ إِلَى أَصْحَابِى".

"From 'Uqbah ibn 'Amir, who said: I came with twelve riders until we alighted before the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. My companions said: Who will herd our camels while we go and take knowledge from the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, and when he goes out and we go out, we will take from him what we heard from the Messenger of Allah ﷺ? I did this for some days. Then I reflected within myself and said: Perhaps I am deprived; my companions hear what I have not heard, and learn what I have not learned from the Prophet of Allah ﷺ. One day I attended and heard a man say: The Prophet of Allah ﷺ said: Whoever performs a complete ablution, his sins will be removed as on the day his mother bore him. I wondered at this. 'Umar ibn al-Khattab said: How would it be if you had heard the first statement? You would have been even more amazed. I said: Repeat it for me, may Allah make me your ransom. He said: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: Whoever dies not associating anything with Allah, Allah will open for him the gates of Paradise, he entering by whichever he wishes, and it has eight gates. He said: Then the Prophet of Allah ﷺ came out to us, and I sat facing him, but he turned his face away from me, until he did this several times. When it was the fourth time, I said: O Prophet of Allah, by my father and mother, why do you turn your face away from me? He turned to me and said: "Is one more beloved to you, or twelve?" When I saw that, I returned to my companions."
