Meanwhile; I heard of a man in Mecca who was giving news on the basis of his prophetic knowledge ; so I sat on my ride and went to him. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ was at that time hiding as his people had made life hard for him. I adopted a friendly attitude towards the Meccans and thus managed to enter Mecca and go to him the Holy Prophet and I said to him: Who are you? He said: I am a Prophet of Allah. I again said: Who is a Prophet? He said: I am a Prophet in the sense that I have been sent by Allah. I said: What is that which you have been sent with? He said: I have been sent to join ties of relationship with kindness and affection ; to break the Idols; and to proclaim the oneness of Allah in a manner that nothing is to be associated with Him. I said: Who is with you in this in these beliefs and practices ? He said: A free man and a slave. He the narrator said: Abu Bakr and Bilal were there with him among those who had embraced Islam by that time. I said: I intend to follow you. He said: During these days you would not be able to do so. Dont you see the hard condition under which I and my people are living? You better go back to your people and when you hear that I have been granted victory; you come to me. So I went to my family. I was in my home when the Messenger of Allah ﷺ came to Medina. I was among my people and used to seek news and ask people when he arrived in Medina. Then a group of people belonging to Yathrib Medina came. I said to them : How is that person getting on who has come to Medina? They said: The people are hastening to him; while his people the polytheists of Mecca planned to kill him; but they could not do so. I on hearing it came to Medina and went to him and said: Messenger of Allah; do you recognise me? He said: Yes; you are the same man who met me at Mecca. I said: It is so. I again said: Prophet of Allah; tell me that which Allah has taught you and which I do not know; tell me about the prayer. He said: Observe the dawn prayer; then stop praying when the sun is rising till it is fully up; for when it rises it comes up between the horns of Satan; and the unbelievers prostrate themselves to it at that time. Then pray; for the prayer is witnessed and attended by angels till the shadow becomes about the length of a lance; then cease prayer; for at that time Hell is heated up. Then when the shadow moves forward; pray; for the prayer is witnessed and attended by angels; till you pray the afternoon prayer; then cease prayer till the sun sets; for it sets between the horns of devil; and at that time the unbelievers prostrate themselves before it. I said: Apostle of Allah; tell me about ablution also. He said: None of you who uses water for ablution and rinses his mouth; snuffs up water and blows it; but the sins of his face; and his mouth and his nostrils fall out. When he washes his face; as Allah has commanded him; the sins of his face fall out from the end of his beard with water. Then when he washes his forearms up to the elbows; the sins of his arms fall out along with water from his finger-tips. And when he wipes his head; the sins of his head fall out from the points of his hair along with water. And when he washes his feet up to the ankles; the sins of his feet fall out from his toes along with water. And if he stands to pray and praises Allah; lauds Him and glorifies Him with what becomes Him and shows wholehearted devotion to Allah; his sins would depart leaving him as innocent as he was on the day his mother bore him. Amr Bin Abasa narrated this hadith to Abu Umama; a Companion of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ ; and Abu Umama said to him: Amr Bin Abasa; think what you are saying that such a great reward is given to a man at one place only in the act of ablution and prayer. Upon this Amr said: Abu Umama; I have grown old and my bones have become weak and I am at the door of death; what impetus is there for me to attribute a lie to Allah and the Messenger of Allah ﷺ ? Had I heard it from the Messenger of Allah ﷺ once; twice; or three times even seven times ; I would have never narrated it; but I have heard it from him on occasions more than these. -0.086 true 2018-11-14T23:15:38Z 2458437.4691898 SahihMuslim-017-001-23989 0 1 broadtable 5 [[Category:HodHood Indexing]] [[Has HodHood Indexing Book Name::+]] [[Has HodHood Indexing Chapter Name::+]] [[Has Hadith Grade::Sahih AlBukhari]] SahihMuslim-017-001-23989 0 1 broadtable 5 [[Category:HodHood Indexing]] [[Has HodHood Indexing Book Name::+]] [[Has HodHood Indexing Chapter Name::+]] [[Has Hadith Grade::Sahih Muslim]] SahihMuslim-017-001-23989 0 1 broadtable 5 [[Category:HodHood Indexing]] [[Has HodHood Indexing Book Name::+]] [[Has HodHood Indexing Chapter Name::+]] [[Has Hadith Grade::Sunan AlNasai]] SahihMuslim-017-001-23989 0 1 broadtable 5 [[Category:HodHood Indexing]] [[Has HodHood Indexing Book Name::+]] [[Has HodHood Indexing Chapter Name::+]] [[Has Hadith Grade::Sunan Abu Dawoud]] SahihMuslim-017-001-23989 0 1 broadtable 5 [[Category:HodHood Indexing]] [[Has HodHood Indexing Book Name::+]] [[Has HodHood Indexing Chapter Name::+]] [[Has Hadith Grade::Sunan AlTermithi]] SahihMuslim-017-001-23989 0 1 broadtable 5 [[Category:HodHood Indexing]] [[Has HodHood Indexing Book Name::+]] [[Has HodHood Indexing Chapter Name::+]] [[Has Hadith Grade::Muwata Malik]] SahihMuslim-017-001-23989 0 [2,"smw-datavalue-wikipage-property-invalid-title","Has Quran Surat","Category:"] SahihMuslim-017-001-23989
