284. 'Abdullāh bin Mas'ud said: "It was said: 'O Messenger of Allāh, how will you recognize those whom you have not seen of your Ummah?' He said: 'From the blazes on their foreheads and feet, like horses with black and white traces (which make them distinct from others) which are the traces of ablution.'" (Hasan) Another chain with similar wording.
284 - حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى النَّيْسَابُورِيُّ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الْوَلِيدِ هِشَامُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْمَلِكِ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادٌ، عَنْ عَاصِمٍ، عَنْ زِرِّ بْنِ حُبَيْشٍ، أَنَّ عَبْدَ اللَّهِ بْنَ مَسْعُودٍ، قَالَ: قِيلَ: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ، كَيْفَ تَعْرِفُ مَنْ لَمْ تَرَ مِنْ أُمَّتِكَ؟ قَالَ: «غُرٌّ مُحَجَّلُونَ بُلْقٌ مِنْ آثَارِ الْوُضُوءِ» قَالَ أَبُو الْحَسَنِ الْقَطَّانُ: حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو حَاتِمٍ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الْوَلِيدِ، فَذَكَرَ مِثْلَهُ

This shows the excellence of the followers of the Prophet ﷺ, since their distinguishing mark would be a blazing light on their parts of the body washed in ablution. The blaze of light on the parts of body would be generated by the performance of ablution. It means that the Muslims neglecting their prayer shall be deprived of this blessed glow, so they would be indistinguishable from non-Muslims. There can be no greater misfortune for a person calling himself a Muslim, that the Prophet ﷺ refuses to recognize him as such.
