355. Abu Sufyân said: "Abu Ayyub Al-Ansârî, Jâbir bin 'Abdullâh, and Anas bin Mâlik told me that when this Verse: "In it (the mosque) are men who love to clean and to purify themselves. And Allâh loves those who make themselves clean and pure."[1] was revealed, the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ said: 'O Ansâr! Allâh has praised you for your cleanliness. What is the nature of your cleanliness?' They said: 'We perform ablution for prayer and we take bath to cleanse ourselves of impurity due to sexual activity, and we clean ourselves with water (after urinating). He said: 'This is what it is. So adhere to it.'"(Hasan)
