184 – Chapter: The Recommendation to Gather for Recitation

1030 – Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) reported that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, “No people gather in one of the houses of Allah, reciting the Book of Allah and studying it among themselves, except that tranquility descends upon them, mercy envelops them (1), the angels surround them, and Allah mentions them among those who are with Him.” Narrated by Muslim.

185 – Chapter: The Virtue of Wudu (ritual ablution)

Allah, the Exalted, says: “O you who believe! When you rise for prayer, wash your faces … Allah does not wish to place any hardship upon you; rather, He wishes to purify you and to perfect His favor upon you so that you may give thanks” (al-Ma’idah 6).

1031 – Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) said: I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say, “My nation will be summoned on the Day of Resurrection with radiant faces and gleaming limbs (2) from the traces of wudu. So whoever among you can extend his radiance, let him do so.” Agreed upon.

1032 – He also said: I heard my close companion, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, say, “The adornment of the believer (in Paradise) will reach as far as the water of wudu reaches.” Narrated by Muslim.

1033 – ʿUthman ibn ʿAffan (may Allah be pleased with him) reported that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, “Whoever performs wudu and perfects it, his sins depart from his body—even from beneath his fingernails.” Narrated by Muslim.

(1) That is: *ammat-hum* (“encompassed all of them”); and *haffat-hum* means that the angels surrounded them as an honour for them. (2) That is: a radiance whitens the ablution points—the hands, face, and feet. The phrase “So whoever is able …” is an interpolated addition to the hadith, as Ibn Hajar and others have pointed out; see al-Irwaʾ, no. 94, and al-Silsila al-Daʿifa, nos. 1030 and 1425.

١٨٤ - باب استحباب الاجتماع على القراءة ١٠٣٠ - وعن أبي هريرة رضي الله عنه قال : قال رسول الله ﷺ : « وَمَا اجْتَمَعَ قَوْمٌ فِي بَيْتٍ مِنْ بُيُوتِ اللَّهِ يَتْلُونَ كِتَابَ اللَّهِ ، وَيَتَدَارَسُونَهُ بَيْنَهُمْ ، إِلَّا نَزَلَتْ عَلَيْهِمُ السَّكِينَةُ وَغَشِيَتْهُمُ الرَّحْمَةُ (١) ، وَحَفَّتْهُمُ الْمَلَائِكَةُ ، وَذَكَرَهُمُ اللَّهُ فِيمَنْ عِنْدَهُ » رواه مسلم . ١٨٥ - باب فضل الوضوء قال الله تعالى : ﴿ يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا إِذَا قُمْتُمْ إِلَى الصَّلَاةِ فَاغْسِلُوا وُجُوهَكُمْ ﴾ إلى قوله تعالى : ﴿ مَا يُرِيدُ اللَّهُ لِيَجْعَلَ عَلَيْكُمْ مِنْ حَرَجٍ ، وَلَكِنْ يُرِيدُ لِيُطَهِّرَكُمْ ، وَلِيُتِمَّ نِعْمَتَهُ عَلَيْكُمْ لَعَلَّكُمْ تَشْكُرُونَ ﴾ [ المائدة : ٦ ] . ١٠٣١ - وعن أبي هريرة رضي الله عنه قال : سمعت رسول الله ﷺ يقول : « إِنَّ أُمَّتِي يُدْعَوْنَ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ غُرًّا مُحَجَّلِينَ (٢) مِنْ آثَارِ الْوُضُوءِ فَمَنِ اسْتَطَاعَ مِنْكُمْ أَنْ يُطِيلَ غُرَّتَهُ فَلْيَفْعَلْ » متفق عليه . ١٠٣٢ - وعنه قال : سمعت خليلي ﷺ يقول : « تَبْلُغُ الْحِلْيَةُ مِنَ الْمُؤْمِنِ حَيْثُ يَبْلُغُ الْوُضُوءُ » رواه مسلم . ١٠٣٣ - وعن عثمان بن عفان رضي الله عنه قال : قال رسول الله ﷺ : « مَنْ تَوَضَّأَ فَأَحْسَنَ الْوُضُوءَ ، خَرَجَتْ خَطَايَاهُ مِنْ جَسَدِهِ حَتَّى تَخْرُجَ مِنْ تَحْتِ أَظْفَارِهِ » رواه مسلم .

(١) أي : عمتهم . و ( حفتهم ) أي : أحاطت بهم الملائكة تشريفاً لهم . (٢) أي : بيض مواضع الوضوء من الأيدي والوجة والأقدام ، وقوله : « فمن استطاع ... » مدرج في الحديث كما قال الحافظ وغيره فراجع له « الإرواء » (٩٤) و « الضعيفة » (١٠٣٠ - ١٤٢٥) .
