أَخْبَرَنَا عِيسَى بْنُ مُسَاوِرٍ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ شُعَيْبِ بْنِ شَابُورَ، عَنْ مُعَاوِيَةَ بْنِ سَلاَّمٍ، عَنْ أَخِيهِ، زَيْدِ بْنِ سَلاَّمٍ أَنَّهُ أَخْبَرَهُ عَنْ جَدِّهِ أَبِي سَلاَّمٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ غَنْمٍ، أَنَّ أَبَا مَالِكٍ الأَشْعَرِيَّ، حَدَّثَهُ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ " إِسْبَاغُ الْوُضُوءِ شَطْرُ الإِيمَانِ وَالْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ تَمْلأُ الْمِيزَانَ وَالتَّسْبِيحُ وَالتَّكْبِيرُ يَمْلأُ السَّمَوَاتِ وَالأَرْضَ وَالصَّلاَةُ نُورٌ وَالزَّكَاةُ بُرْهَانٌ وَالصَّبْرُ ضِيَاءٌ وَالْقُرْآنُ حُجَّةٌ لَكَ أَوْ عَلَيْكَ " .
Isa ibn Musawir reported: Muhammad ibn Shuaib ibn Shabur narrated to us, from Muawiyah ibn Sallam, from his brother Zayd ibn Sallam, who informed him from his grandfather Abu Sallam, from Abd al-Rahman ibn Ghanm, that Abu Malik al-Ashari told him that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: Performing ablution fully is half of faith. Alhamdulillah—praise be to Allah—fills the Scale. Tasbih and takbir fill the heavens and the earth. Prayer is light, zakah is proof, patience is illumination, and the Quran is an argument for you or against you.
Translation notes
The Arabic uses the technical devotional terms tasbih and takbir and describes patience as illumination.
