Sunan at-Tirmithiy كتاب الطهارة باب ما جاء فى إسباغ الوضوء
حَدَّثَنَا عَلِىُّ بْنُ حُجْرٍ أَخْبَرَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنِ جَعْفَرٍعَنِ الْعَلاَءِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ أَبِى هُرَيْرَةَ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ أَلاَ أَدُلُّكُمْ عَلَى مَا يَمْحُو اللَّهُ بِهِ الْخَطَايَا وَيَرْفَعُ بِهِ الدَّرَجَاتِ. قَالُوا بَلَى يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ. قَالَ إِسْبَاغُ الْوُضُوءِ عَلَى الْمَكَارِهِ وَكَثْرَةُ الْخُطَا إِلَى الْمَسَاجِدِ وَانْتِظَارُ الصَّلاَةِ بَعْدَ الصَّلاَةِ فَذَلِكُمُ الرِّبَاطُ.
The Messenger of God, peace and blessings of God be upon him, said, "Shall I guide you to means by which God erases sins and raises [you] levels [in Paradise]?" The Companions said, "Indeed, Messenger of God." He said, "Perfecting ablution despite hardships (1), frequent visits to mosques, and longing for prayer after prayer; for these are means of self-restraint (2)."
(1) i.e. the scarcity of water, difficulty in obtaining it, cold weather, or illness, etc. (2) They tie a believer to obedience and restrain him from vice.
