Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 38119 — Reports from Abu al-Aliyah
٣٨١١٩ - حدثنا عباد عن عوف عن أبي المنهال أن أبا العالية رأى رجلا يتوضأ فلما فرغ قال: اللهم اجعلني من التوابين واجعلني من المتطهرين، فقال: إن الطهور (بالماء) (١) (حسن) (٢)، ولكنهم المطهرون من الذنوب.
Abu al-Aliyah saw a man performing ablution. When he had finished his ablution, he said: "O Allah, make me among those who repent and make me among those who purify themselves." Hearing this, Abu al-Aliyah said: Attaining purity by means of water is a good thing, but the real matter is being purified from sins.
