169. Uqbah bin 'Āmir said: "We used to be with the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ, each one serving himself, and we used to take turns taking care of the camels. (One day) it was my turn to take care of the camels, so I took them to their watering place until the evening. (After returning) I found the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ while he was giving the people a sermon. I heard him say: 'There is not a single one of you who performs Wudū and performs it well, then prays two Rak'ahs while he is paying attention with his heart and face, except that it (meaning, Paradise) becomes obligatory (for him). I said: 'Bakhin, Bakhin, how great this is!' A person sitting in front of me said: 'And what has preceded it O 'Uqbah, is even better than this!' I looked (to see who he was), and it turned out to be 'Umar bin Al-Khaṭṭāb. So I said: 'And what was that (which was said before I came), O Abū Hāfṣ?' He said: 'He (the Prophet ﷺ) said before you came: "There is none of you who performs the Wudū and performs it well, and then says after he completes it: 'I testify that there is none worthy of worship except Allāh alone, having no partners, and I testify that Muḥammad is His servant and Messenger,' except that all eight doors of Paradise will be opened for him; he can enter it through whichever one he pleases." (Saḥih)

169 - حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ الْهَمْدَانِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ وَهْبٍ، سَمِعْتُ مُعَاوِيَةَ يَعْنِي ابْنَ صَالِحٍ، يُحَدِّثُ عَنْ أَبِي عُثْمَانَ، عَنْ جُبَيْرِ بْنِ نُفَيْرٍ، عَنْ عُقْبَةَ بْنِ عَامِرٍ، قَالَ: كُنَّا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ خُدَّامَ أَنْفُسِنَا، نَتَنَاوَبُ الرِّعَايَةَ - رِعَايَةَ إِبِلِنَا - فَكَانَتْ عَلَيَّ رِعَايَةُ الْإِبِلِ، فَرَوَّحْتُهَا بِالْعَشِيِّ، فَأَدْرَكْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ يَخْطُبُ النَّاسَ، فَسَمِعْتُهُ يَقُولُ: «مَا مِنْكُمْ مِنْ أَحَدٍ يَتَوَضَّأُ فَيُحْسِنُ الْوُضُوءَ، ثُمَّ يَقُومُ فَيَرْكَعُ رَكْعَتَيْنِ، يُقْبِلُ عَلَيْهِمَا بِقَلْبِهِ وَوَجْهِهِ، إِلَّا قَدْ أَوْجَبَ»، فَقُلْتُ: بَخٍ بَخٍ، مَا أَجْوَدَ هَذِهِ، فَقَالَ رَجُلٌ مِنْ بَيْنِ يَدَيَّ الَّتِي قَبْلَهَا: يَا عُقْبَةُ، أَجْوَدُ مِنْهَا، فَنَظَرْتُ فَإِذَا هُوَ عُمَرُ بْنُ الْخَطَّابِ، فَقُلْتُ: مَا هِيَ يَا أَبَا حَفْصٍ؟ قَالَ: إِنَّهُ قَالَ آنِفًا قَبْلَ أَنْ تَجِيءَ: " مَا مِنْكُمْ مِنْ أَحَدٍ يَتَوَضَّأُ فَيُحْسِنُ الْوُضُوءَ، ثُمَّ يَقُولُ حِينَ يَفْرُغُ مِنْ وُضُوئِهِ: أَشْهَدُ أَنْ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ وَحْدَهُ لَا شَرِيكَ لَهُ، وَأَنَّ مُحَمَّدًا عَبْدُهُ وَرَسُولُهُ، إِلَّا فُتِحَتْ لَهُ أَبْوَابُ الْجَنَّةِ الثَّمَانِيَةُ، يَدْخُلُ مِنْ أَيِّهَا شَاءَ "، قَالَ مُعَاوِيَةُ: وَحَدَّثَنِي رَبِيعَةُ بْنُ يَزِيدَ، عَنْ أَبِي إِدْرِيسَ، عَنْ عُقْبَةَ بْنِ عَامِرٍ،
