وَعَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَمْرِو بْنِ الْعَاصِ أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: مَرَّ بِسَعْدٍ وَهُوَ يَتَوَضَّأُ فَقَالَ: «مَا هَذَا السَّرَفُ يَا سَعْدُ» . قَالَ: أَفِي الْوُضُوءِ سَرَفٌ؟ قَالَ: «نَعَمْ وَإِنْ كُنْتَ عَلَى نَهْرٍ جَارٍ» . رَوَاهُ أَحْمد وَابْن مَاجَه

Translation

ʿAbd Allāh ibn ʿAmr ibn al-ʿĀṣ reported that the Prophet came upon Saʿd while he was performing ablution and said: ‘What is this waste, Saʿd?’ He asked: ‘Can there be waste in ablution?’ He replied: ‘Yes, even if you are beside a flowing river.’ Aḥmad and Ibn Mājah transmitted it.
