Hadith 17458

وَسَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، يَقُولُ : " رَجُلَانِ مِنْ أُمَّتِي يَقُومُ أَحَدُهُمَا مِنَ اللَّيْلِ فَيُعَالِجُ نَفْسَهُ إِلَى الطَّهُورِ وَعَلَيْهِ عُقَدٌ فَيَتَوَضَّأُ ، فَإِذَا وَضَّأَ يَدَيْهِ ، انْحَلَّتْ عُقْدَةٌ ، وَإِذَا وَضَّأَ وَجْهَه ، انحَلَّتْ عقْدَةٌ ، وَإِذَا مَسَحَ رَأْسَهُ انْحَلَّتْ عُقْدَةٌ ، وَإِذَا وَضَّأَ رِجْلَيْهِ انْحَلَّتْ عُقْدَةٌ ، فَيَقُولُ الرَّبُّ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ لِلَّذِينَ وَرَاءَ الْحِجَابِ : انْظُرُوا إِلَى عَبْدِي هَذَا يُعَالِجُ نَفْسَهُ ، مَا سَأَلَنِي عَبْدِي هَذَا فَهُوَ لَهُ " .
And I heard the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, say: "Two men from my Ummah, one of them rises at night and struggles with himself to purify himself, and upon him are knots. So he performs ablution; when he washes his hands, a knot is untied; when he washes his face, a knot is untied; when he wipes his head, a knot is untied; and when he washes his feet, a knot is untied. Then the Lord, Mighty and Majestic, says to those behind the veil: Look at this servant of Mine, he is struggling with himself. Whatever My servant asks of Me, it is for him."
