Musnad Abi Ya'la 3907 — the Prophet ﷺ said: The likeness of my Ummah
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ أَبِي بَكْرٍ الْمُقَدَّمِيُّ ، حَدَّثَنَا مُبَارَكٌ مَوْلَى عَبْدِ الْعَزِيزِ بْنِ صُهَيْبٍ ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الْعَزِيزِ بْنِ صُهَيْبٍ ، عَنْ أَنَسٍ ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - قَالَ : مَثَلُ أُمَّتِي مَثَلُ نَهَرٍ يُغْتَسَلُ مِنْهُ خَمْسَ مَرَّاتٍ ، فَمَا عَسَى أَنْ يَبْقَيَنَّ عَلَيْهِ مِنْ دَرَنِهِ ؟ يَقُومُ إِلَى الْوُضُوءِ فَيَغْسِلُ يَدَيْهِ فَتَتَنَاثَرُ كُلُّ خَطِيئَةٍ مَسَّ بِهَا يَدَيْهِ ، وَيُمَضْمِضُ فَتَتَنَاثَرُ كُلُّ خَطِيئَةٍ تَكَلَّمَ بِهَا لِسَانُهُ ، ثُمَّ يَغْسِلُ وَجْهَهُ فَتَتَنَاثَرُ كُلُّ خَطِيئَةٍ نَظَرَتْ بِهَا عَيْنَاهُ ، ثُمَّ يَمْسَحُ رَأْسَهُ فَتَتَنَاثَرُ كُلُّ خَطِيئَةٍ سَمِعَتْ بِهَا أُذُنَاهُ ، ثُمَّ يَغْسِلُ قَدَمَيْهِ فَتَتَنَاثَرُ كُلُّ خَطِيئَةٍ مَشَتْ بِهَا قَدَمَاهُ .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "The likeness of my Ummah is that of a river in which a person bathes five times a day; could any dirt remain on (his body)? (In the same way, when the believer) stands for ablution and washes his hands, every sin committed by touching with the hands falls away; when he rinses his mouth, every sin uttered by the tongue falls away; then when he washes his face, every sin committed by looking with the eyes falls away; then when he wipes his head, every sin committed by hearing with the ears falls away; and when he washes his feet, every sin towards which his feet had walked falls away."
