“Al-Zuhrī heard from thirteen men among the Companions of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ: Anas, Sahl, al-Sāʾib, Sunayn Abū Jamīlah (1), Maḥmūd ibn al-Rabīʿ, a man from Baliyy, Ibn Abī Ṣuʿayr, and Abū Umāmah ibn Sahl.
They asked, ‘And Ibn ʿUmar?’
He replied, ‘I saw Ibn ʿUmar letting the water run over his face in a continuous stream (2).’
They also asked, ‘What about Ibrāhīm ibn ʿAbd al-Raḥmān ibn ʿAwf, who recalled the Prophet ﷺ on the day he passed away, and ʿAbd al-Raḥmān ibn Azhar?’ (3)”

The Messenger of Allah ﷺ declared, ‘At times a veil is cast over my heart, yet I seek Allah’s forgiveness one hundred times each day.’ (6)"
