حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بِشْرٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو حَيَّانَ ، عَنْ أَبِي زُرْعَةَ ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ ، قَالَ : قَالَ نَبِيُّ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ لِبِلَالٍ عِنْدَ صَلَاةِ الْفَجْرِ " يَا بِلَالُ ، خَبِّرْنِي بِأَرْجَى عَمَلٍ عَمِلْتَهُ مَنْفَعَةً فِي الْإِسْلَامِ ، فَإِنِّي قَدْ سَمِعْتُ اللَّيْلَةَ خَشْفَ نَعْلَيْكَ بَيْنَ يَدَيَّ فِي الْجَنَّةِ " قَالَ : مَا عَمِلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ فِي الْإِسْلَامِ عَمَلًا أَرْجَى عِنْدِي مَنْفَعَةً مِنْ أَنِّي لَمْ أَتَطَهَّرْ طُهُورًا تَامًّا قَطُّ فِي سَاعَةٍ مِنْ لَيْلٍ أَوْ نَهَارٍ ، إِلَّا صَلَّيْتُ بِذَلِكَ الطُّهُورِ لِرَبِّي مَا كُتِبَ لِي أَنْ أُصَلِّيَ .
It is narrated from Hazrat Abu Huraira (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) asked Hazrat Bilal (may Allah be pleased with him) at the time of Fajr prayer, "Bilal, tell me about an act of yours in Islam for which you have the greatest hope of reward?" Because I heard the sound of your footsteps ahead of me in Paradise last night." He replied, "O Messenger of Allah, I have not done any act in Islam for which I have greater hope of reward than this: whenever I performed ablution at any time of the day or night, I offered as much prayer with that ablution as Allah enabled me to."
