55. 'Umar bin Al-Khaṭṭāb narrated
that Allāh's Messenger ﷺ said: "Whoever performs Wudū', making Wudū' well, then says: (Ashhadu an lā ilāha illallāh, waḥdahu lā sharika lahu, wa ashhadu anna Muḥammadan 'abduhu wa rasūluhu, Allāhummaj'alnī minattawwābīn, waj'alnī minal mutaṭahhirīn) 'I testify that none has the right to be worshipped but Allāh Alone, there are no partners for Him. And I testify that Muḥammad is His servant and Messenger. O Allāh! Make me among the repentant, and make me among those who purify themselves.' Then eight gates of Paradise are opened for him, that he may enter by whichever of them he wishes." (Da'if)
[Abū 'Eisā said:] There are narrations on this topic from Anas, and 'Uqbah bin 'Āmir.
Abū 'Eisā said: Zaid bin Ḥubbāb (one of the narrators) has been contradicted in this Hadīth of 'Umar.
[He said:] 'Abdullāh bin Ṣāliḥ, and others, reported it from Mu'āwiyyah bin Ṣāliḥ, from Rabī'ah bin Yazīd, from Abū Idrīs from 'Uqbah bin 'Āmir from 'Umar, and, from Abū 'Uthmān from Jubair bin Nufair from 'Umar.
There is incoherence (Iḍtirāb) in this Hadīth' chain. Not much of the Aḥādīth' reported on this topic are authentic.
Muḥammad said: "Abū Idrīs did not hear anything from 'Umar."

[1] That is, Jarīr narrated it first to 'Ali bin Mujāhid, then Jarīr forgot it. So 'Ali bin Mujāhid told him: "You narrated it to me from Tha'labah." (Tuhfat Al-Ahwadhi)
Commentary
This narration, just with the wording of the Declaration, exists in Sahīh Muslim; and the addition of "Allāhum-maj'al-nee minat-tawwabeena waj'alnee minal mutatahhireen" [O Allāh! Make me one of those who repent in abundance and make me of those who are clean and pure] this addition is proven authentic see Irwa'ul-Ghalīl 1/135, and Al-Jāmi' As-Saghir 1/1112.
