حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ إِسْمَاعِيل، أَخْبَرَنَا هِشَامُ بْنُ إِسْمَاعِيل أَبُو عَبْدِ الْمَلِكِ الْعَطَّارِ، حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ شُعَيْبٍ، حَدَّثَنَا إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ سُلَيْمَانَ، عَنِ الْوَلِيدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ أَنَّهُ حَدَّثَهُمْ ، عَنْ جُبَيْرِ بْنِ نُفَيْرٍ، عَنْ نَوَّاسِ بْنِ سَمْعَانَ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، قَالَ : " يَأْتِي الْقُرْآنُ وَأَهْلُهُ الَّذِينَ يَعْمَلُونَ بِهِ فِي الدُّنْيَا تَقْدُمُهُ سُورَةُ الْبَقَرَةِ ، وَآلُ عِمْرَانَ ، قَالَ نَوَّاسٌ : وَضَرَبَ لَهُمَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ثَلَاثَةَ أَمْثَالٍ ، مَا نَسِيتُهُنَّ بَعْدُ ، قَالَ : تَأْتِيَانِ كَأَنَّهُمَا غَيَابَتَانِ وَبَيْنَهُمَا شَرْقٌ ، أَوْ كَأَنَّهُمَا غَمَامَتَانِ سَوْدَاوَانِ ، أَوْ كَأَنَّهُمَا ظُلَّةٌ مِنْ طَيْرٍ صَوَافَّ تُجَادِلَانِ عَنْ صَاحِبِهِمَا " وَفِي الْبَابِ ، عَنْ بُرَيْدَةَ ، وَأَبِي أُمَامَةَ ، قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى : هَذَا حَدِيثٌ غَرِيبٌ مِنْ هَذَا الْوَجْهِ ، وَمَعْنَى هَذَا الْحَدِيثِ عِنْدَ أَهْلِ الْعِلْمِ : أَنَّهُ يَجِيءُ ثَوَابُ قِرَاءَتِهِ كَذَا ، فَسَّرَ بَعْضُ أَهْلِ الْعِلْمِ هَذَا الْحَدِيثَ وَمَا يُشْبِهُ هَذَا مِنَ الْأَحَادِيثِ أَنَّهُ يَجِيءُ ثَوَابُ قِرَاءَةِ الْقُرْآنِ ، وَفِي حَدِيثِ النَّوَّاسِ ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ مَا يَدُلُّ عَلَى مَا فَسَّرُوا ، إِذْ قَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " وَأَهْلُهُ الَّذِينَ يَعْمَلُونَ بِهِ فِي الدُّنْيَا " ، فَفِي هَذَا دَلَالَةٌ أَنَّهُ يَجِيءُ ثَوَابُ الْعَمَلِ .
´Narrated An-Nawwas bin Sam'an:` that the Prophet (ﷺ) said: "The Qur'an shall come, and its people who acted according to it in the world. Surat Al-Baqarah and Al 'Imran shall be in front of it. An-Nawwas said: "The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) stated three parables about them which I have not since forgotten, he said: "They will come as if they are two shades between which there is illumination, or as if they are two shady clouds, or as if they are shadows of lines of birds arguing on behalf of their people."

Explanation & Benefits
Shaykh Maulana Abdul Aziz Alvi
Hadith Commentary: Benefits and Issues: From this hadith, the following principle and rule are derived: (الْيَقِيْنُ لَايَزُوْلُ بَالشَّك) — Certainty is not removed by doubt. That is, certainty does not cease due to doubt, and everything remains upon its original state until certainty to the contrary is established. Therefore, the position of the majority of the imams is that ablution (wudu) is not nullified until one is certain of its nullification.

However, two opinions are narrated from Imam Malik rahimahullah:
(1) Ablution (wudu) is nullified by doubt in every situation (whether inside or outside of prayer).
(2) If prayer has not yet begun, then ablution (wudu) is nullified by doubt. But the position of the majority is in accordance with the hadith.
