أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللهِ الْحَافِظُ، أنبأ أَبُو بَكْرٍ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ بَالَوَيْهِ وَأَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ قَالَا: ثنا عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ حَنْبَلٍ، حَدَّثَنِي أَبِي، ثنا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ مَهْدِيٍّ، ثنا مُعَاوِيَةُ يَعْنِي ابْنَ صَالِحٍ، عَنْ رَبِيعَةَ يَعْنِي ابْنَ يَزِيدَ، عَنْ أَبِي إِدْرِيسَ الْخَوْلَانِيِّ قَالَ: وَحَدَّثَنِيهِ أَبُو عُثْمَانَ، عَنْ جُبَيْرِ بْنِ نُفَيْرٍ، عَنْ عُقْبَةَ بْنِ عَامِرٍ قَالَ: كَانَتْ عَلَيْنَا رِعَايَةُ الْإِبِلِ فَحَانَتْ نَوْبَتِي فَرَوَّحْتُهَا بِعَشِيٍّ فَأَدْرَكْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَائِمًا يُحَدِّثُ النَّاسَ فَأَدْرَكْتُ مِنْ قَوْلِهِ: " مَا مِنْ مُسْلِمٍ يَتَوَضَّأُ فَيُحْسِنُ الْوُضُوءَ ثُمَّ يَقُومُ فَيُصَلِّي رَكْعَتَيْنِ يُقْبِلُ عَلَيْهِمَا بِقَلْبِهِ وَوَجْهِهِ إِلَّا وَجَبَتْ لَهُ الْجَنَّةُ " فَقُلْتُ: مَا أَجْوَدَ هَذِهِ، فَإِذَا قَائِلٌ بَيْنَ يَدِيَّ يَقُولُ: الَّتِي قَبْلَهَا أَجْوَدُ، فَنَظَرْتُ فَإِذَا عُمَرُ بْنُ الْخَطَّابِ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ: إِنِّي قَدْ رَأَيْتُكَ جِئْتَ آنِفًا قَالَ: " مَا مِنْكُمْ مِنْ أَحَدٍ يَتَوَضَّأُ ثُمَّ يَقُولُ: أَشْهَدُ أَنْ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللهُ وَأَشْهَدُ أَنَّ مُحَمَّدًا عَبْدُهُ وَرَسُولُهُ إِلَّا فُتِحَتْ لَهُ أَبْوَابُ الْجَنَّةِ الثَّمَانِيَةُ يَدْخُلُ مِنْ أَيِّهَا شَاءَ " رَوَاهُ مُسْلِمٌ فِي الصَّحِيحِ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ حَاتِمٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ وَقَالَ: عَنْ أَبِي إِدْرِيسَ، عَنْ عُقْبَةَ بْنِ عَامِرٍ قَالَ: وَحَدَّثَنِي أَبُو عُثْمَانَ وَإِنَّمَا يَقُولُهُ مُعَاوِيَةُ بْنُ صَالِحٍ وَقَدْ مَضَى فِي كِتَابِ الطَّهَارَةِ، عَنْ عُثْمَانَ بْنِ عَفَّانَ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ، عَنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ حِينَ تَوَضَّأَ: " مَنْ تَوَضَّأَ نَحْوَ وُضُوئِي هَذَا ثُمَّ قَامَ فَرَكَعَ رَكْعَتَيْنِ لَا يُحَدِّثُ فِيهِمَا نَفْسَهُ غُفِرَ لَهُ مَا تَقَدَّمَ مِنْ ذَنْبِهِ ".
Sayyiduna Uqbah bin Amir (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: We had the duty of tending the camels. One day my turn came, and as I was bringing them back in the evening, I saw the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) speaking to the people. He (peace and blessings be upon him) was saying: "Any Muslim who performs ablution well, then prays two rak'ahs, keeping his heart fully attentive in them, Paradise becomes obligatory for him." I said: How excellent this is! Suddenly someone said: What he said before this was even better. I looked, and it was Sayyiduna Umar bin al-Khattab (may Allah be pleased with him). He said: I saw that you have only just come. He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Whoever among you performs ablution and then says: 'Ashhadu an la ilaha illallah wa ashhadu anna Muhammadan abduhu wa rasuluhu' (I bear witness that there is no deity worthy of worship except Allah, and I bear witness that Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) is the servant of Allah and His Messenger), the eight gates of Paradise are opened for him, and he may enter through whichever of them he wishes."
(b) The narration of Sayyiduna Uthman bin Affan (may Allah be pleased with him) has already passed in the Book of Purification, which he narrates from the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) concerning ablution, that he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Whoever performs ablution like this ablution of mine, then prays two rak'ahs without talking to himself in them, his past sins will be forgiven."
