3097. It was narrated from Thābit Al-Bunānī from Anas bin Mālik, who said: "The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: 'Whoever performs Wudū' and does it well, and visits his (sick) Muslim brother, seeking reward, he will be removed from Hell a distance of seventy Kharifs travel.'" I (Thābit) said: "O Abū Hamzah! What is Kharif?" He said: "A year."[1] (Da'if) Abū Dāwūd said: And that those from Al-Baṣrah are alone in narrating for it is "visiting the sick while in a state of Wudū".
3097 - حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَوْفٍ الطَّائِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا الرَّبِيعُ بْنُ رَوْحِ بْنِ خُلَيْدٍ، حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ خَالِدٍ، حَدَّثَنَا الْفَضْلُ بْنُ دَلْهَمٍ الْوَاسِطِيُّ، عَنْ ثَابِتٍ الْبُنَانِيِّ، عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ، قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «مَنْ تَوَضَّأَ فَأَحْسَنَ الْوُضُوءَ، وَعَادَ أَخَاهُ الْمُسْلِمَ مُحْتَسِبًا بُوعِدَ مِنْ جَهَنَّمَ، مَسِيرَةَ سَبْعِينَ خَرِيفًا» قُلْتُ: يَا أَبَا حَمْزَةَ، وَمَا الْخَرِيفُ؟ قَالَ: «الْعَامُ»، قَالَ أَبُو دَاوُدَ: «وَالَّذِي تَفَرَّدَ بِهِ الْبَصْرِيُّونَ مِنْهُ الْعِيَادَةُ وَهُوَ مُتَوَضِّئٌ»

Although technically classified as Mawquf, the narration is correct. The next Hadīth of the same meaning is Marfū'.
