From Nu'aym al-Mujmir from Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) that he said:Sahih al-Bukhari 136. In a wording in Muslim: .
The Shaykh : In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.
This hadith is in explaining the virtue of wudu. You have known it in what came before. You knew wudu in what came before. And wudu has virtues, among which is this hadith that we will speak about, if Allah wills. Among them is that when a person performs wudu, the sins of the limbs washed come out with the last drop of the drops of water. And it is known that the sins are many in our limbs. We ask Allah to treat us all with His pardon. The sins come out with the last drop of the drops of water. For this reason, I point my brothers to an important matter: all of us perform wudu when we want to pray, is that not so? Good. It should be that when we perform wudu, we keep in mind three things:
First: that we are obeying the command of Allah, and this gives the heart strength in worship and humility before Allah (Mighty and Majestic). What is the command of Allah? What is the command of Allah? His saying, the Exalted:[Al-Ma'idah 5:6]. Keep the verse in mind when performing wudu, and that you are performing wudu in obedience to the command of Allah, as if you are saying with the tongue of the state: "We hear and obey, O Lord." This is one.
Second: Keep in mind that this is the wudu of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him and his family) to realize following him, because your Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) performed wudu in this manner. So we have sincerity and what? And following.
Third: Seek the reward, and that this wudu purifies you from sins, because the sins are what? The sins are many, but they are expiated with the last drop of the drops of water. Keep this in mind to be seeking the reward of Allah (Mighty and Majestic). Is it clear, brothers? Pay attention to these three points. How much we are heedless of them! Most of the time we perform wudu because wudu is a condition for the validity of prayer, so we perform wudu for that, and this is good. But if you keep in mind the three meanings, wudu has a taste that you do not find if you are heedless of them. For this reason, it is recommended for you after wudu to say: "I bear witness that there is no god but Allah alone, having no partner, and I bear witness that Muhammad is His slave and His Messenger."
O Allah, make me among those who repent and make me among those who purify themselves, so that you purify your outward with wudu and your inward with the testimony. Good.

From Nu'aym al-Mujmir from Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) that he said:
On the Day of Resurrection, my followers will be called "Al-Ghurr-ul- Muhajjalun" from the trace of ablution and whoever can increase the area of his radiance should do so (i.e. by performing ablution regularly).
إن أمتي يدعون يوم القيامة غراً محجلين من آثار الوضوء فمن استطاع منكم أن يطيل غرته فليفعلI saw Abu Hurayrah performing wudu, so he washed his face and his hands until he almost reached his shoulders, then he washed his feet until he raised them to his shins. Then he said: I heard the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) say: "My Ummah will be called on the Day of Resurrection white and marked with the traces of wudu. So whoever among you can lengthen his whiteness and his marking, let him do so."
رأيت أبا هريرة يتوضأ فغسل وجهه ويديه حتى كاد يبلغ المنكبين ثم غسل رجليه حتى رفع إلى الساقين ثم قال سمعت رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم : إن أمتي يدعون يوم القيامة غراً محجلين من أثر الوضوء. فمن استطاع منكم أن يطيل غرته وتحجيله فليفعلThe Shaykh : In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.
