وَعَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ لِبِلَالٍ عِنْدَ صَلَاةِ الْفَجْرِ: «يَا بِلَالُ حَدِّثْنِي بِأَرْجَى عمل عملته فِي الْإِسْلَام فَإِنِّي سَمِعت دق نعليك بَين يَدي الْجَنَّةِ» . قَالَ: مَا عَمِلْتُ عَمَلًا أَرْجَى عِنْدِي أَنِّي لم أتطهر طهُورا مِنْ سَاعَةٍ مِنْ لَيْلٍ وَلَا نَهَارٍ إِلَّا صَلَّيْتُ بِذَلِكَ الطُّهُورِ مَا كُتِبَ لِي أَنْ أُصَلِّيَ

Abu Huraira reported that at the dawn prayer the Messenger of God said to Bilal: Tell me, Bilal, of the deed you have done in Islam that gives you the greatest hope, for I heard the sound of your sandals ahead of me in Paradise. Bilal replied: I have done no deed that gives me greater hope than this: whenever I perform ablution, at any hour of the night or day, I pray whatever God has decreed for me to pray with that ablution. Al-Bukhari and Muslim transmitted it.
