It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ibn Amr (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) passed by Sayyiduna Sa’d while he was performing ablution. The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: “Sa’d! What is this extravagance?” He replied, “Is there extravagance even in ablution?” The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: “Yes, even if you are at a flowing river.”
