96. Abū Na'āmah narrated that 'Abdullāh bin Mughaffal overheard his son say: "O Allāh! I ask You to grant me the white palace on the right hand side of Paradise as soon as I enter it." So he said: "My son, ask Allāh for Paradise, and seek His refuge from the Fire, for I heard the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ say: 'There will be in this nation a group of people who will overstep the bounds in purification, and supplication.'" (Sahih)
96 - حَدَّثَنَا مُوسَى بْنُ إِسْمَاعِيلَ، حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادٌ، حَدَّثَنَا سَعِيدٌ الْجُرَيْرِيُّ، عَنْ أَبِي نَعَامَةَ، أَنَّ عَبْدَ اللَّهِ بْنَ مُغَفَّلٍ، سَمِعَ ابْنَهُ يَقُولُ: اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ الْقَصْرَ الْأَبْيَضَ، عَنْ يَمِينِ الْجَنَّةِ إِذَا دَخَلْتُهَا، فَقَالَ: أَيْ بُنَيَّ، سَلِ اللَّهَ الْجَنَّةَ، وَتَعَوَّذْ بِهِ مِنَ النَّارِ، فَإِنِّي سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ: «إِنَّهُ سَيَكُونُ فِي هَذِهِ الْأُمَّةِ قَوْمٌ يَعْتَدُونَ فِي الطَّهُورِ وَالدُّعَاءِ»

We learn from the foregoing Hadīth that excessive use of water is not permissible to purify oneself. To avoid falling prey to recurring doubts, it is advisable to spray one's garment, below the navel (around the area of the sexual organ), with water, after performing Wudū'. See no. 166.
