Muwatta Imam Malik (Riwayat Yahya)

بَابُ جَامِعِ الْوُضُوْءِComprehensive rulings on ablution
Hadith 65
وَحَدَّثَنِي ، عَنْ مَالِك ، أَنَّهُ بَلَغَهُ ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، قَالَ : " اسْتَقِيمُوا وَلَنْ تُحْصُوا وَاعْمَلُوا وَخَيْرُ أَعْمَالِكُمُ الصَّلَاةُ وَلَا يُحَافِظُ عَلَى الْوُضُوءِ إِلَّا مُؤْمِنٌ "
It reached Imam Malik, may Allah have mercy on him, that the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "Remain steadfast on the straight path, and you will not be able to count its reward, or you will not have the strength for steadfastness. And among all deeds, the best for you is prayer, and none will maintain ablution except a believer."
