(حديث مرفوع) حَدَّثَنَا
إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ يُوسُفَ ، حَدَّثَنَا
عَوْفٌ الْأَعْرَابِيُّ ، عَنْ
مَعْبَدٍ الْجُهَنِيِّ ، عَنْ
حُمْرَانَ بْنِ أَبَانَ ، قَالَ : كُنَّا عِنْدَ
عُثْمَانَ بْنِ عَفَّانَ ، فَدَعَا بِمَاءٍ ، فَتَوَضَّأَ ، فَلَمَّا فَرَغَ مِنْ وُضُوئِهِ تَبَسَّمَ ، فَقَالَ : هَلْ تَدْرُونَ مِمَّا ضَحِكْتُ ؟ قَالَ : فَقَالَ : تَوَضَّأَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ كَمَا تَوَضَّأْتُ ، ثُمَّ تَبَسَّمَ ، ثُمَّ قَالَ : " هَلْ تَدْرُونَ مِمَّ ضَحِكْتُ ؟ " قَالَ : قُلْنَا : اللَّهُ وَرَسُولُهُ أَعْلَمُ ، قَالَ : " إِنَّ الْعَبْدَ إِذَا تَوَضَّأَ فَأَتَمَّ وُضُوءَهُ ، ثُمَّ دَخَلَ فِي صَلَاتِهِ فَأَتَمَّ صَلَاتَهُ ، خَرَجَ مِنْ صَلَاتِهِ كَمَا خَرَجَ مِنْ بَطْنِ أُمِّهِ مِنَ الذُّنُوبِ " .
Humran says that once we were with Sayyiduna Uthman (may Allah be pleased with him), he called for water and performed ablution, and after finishing he began to smile and said: "Do you know why I am smiling?" Once the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) also performed ablution in the same way as I did, and he also smiled and asked: "Do you know why I am smiling?" We said: "Allah and His Messenger know best." He said: "When a servant performs ablution and completes it well, and then starts the prayer and performs it perfectly, then after finishing the prayer, he becomes like the day his mother gave birth to him."
