عَنْ أَبِي زُرْعَةَ أَنَّ أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ دَعَا بِوَضُوءٍ فَتَوَضَّأَ وَغَسَلَ ذِرَاعَيْهِ حَتَّى جَاوَزَ الْمِرْفَقَيْنِ، فَلَمَّا غَسَلَ رِجْلَيْهِ جَاوَزَ الْكَعْبَيْنِ إِلَى السَّاقَيْنِ، فَقُلْتُ: مَا هَذَا؟ فَقَالَ: هَذَا مَبْلَغُ الْحِلْيَةِ
Abu Zur’ah (may Allah have mercy on him) says: Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) asked for water and performed ablution. When he washed his arms, he went beyond the elbows, and likewise, when he washed his feet, he went beyond the ankles and began to wash up to the shins. I said: “What kind of ablution is this?” He said: “This is the place where adornment and beauty will reach.”
