We were responsible for tending to the camels, and when my turn came, I brought them back in the evening. I found the Messenger of Allah ﷺ standing and addressing the people. I caught these words from his speech, "There is no Muslim who performs ablution, perfecting it, then stands and prays two units of prayer with his heart and face fully turned toward them, except that Paradise becomes obligatory for him."I said, "How excellent this is!"Then someone in front of me said, "The one before it was even more excellent."I looked, and it was Umar. He said, "I saw you arrive just now. He said, 'There is none of you who performs ablution, completing or perfecting it, then says, I bear witness that there is no god but Allah and that Muhammad is the servant of Allah and His Messenger, except that the eight gates of Paradise are opened for him, and he may enter through whichever of them he wishes.'"
كانت علينا رعاية الإبل، فجاءت نوبتي، فروحتها بعشي، فأدركت رسول الله ﷺ قائما يحدث الناس فأدركت من قوله: ما من مسلم يتوضأ فيحسن وضوءه، ثم يقوم فيصلي ركعتين، مقبل عليهما بقلبه ووجهه، إلا وجبت له الجنة قال فقلت: ما أجود هذه! فإذا قائل بين يدي يقول: التي قبلها أجود. فنظرت فإذا عمر قال: إني قد رأيتك جئت آنفا، قال: ما منكم من أحد يتوضأ فيبلغ- أو فيسبغ- الوضوء ثم يقول: أشهد أن لا إله إلا الله وأن محمدا عبد الله ورسوله إلا فتحت له أبواب الجنة الثمانية، يدخل من أيها شاء.
