141. Narrated Nu’am Al-Mujmir (radhi Allaahu anhu) : Once I went up the mosque, (along with) Aboo Huraira (radhi Allaahu anhu). (He performed ablution and) said, ” I heard the Prophet (Sallallaahu Alaihi Wasallam) saying,
‘On the Day of Resurrection, my followers will be called Al-Ghurr-ul-Muhajjaloon from the traces of ablution, and whoever can increase the area of his radiance(*) should do so (i.e. by performing ablution in the most perfect manner).'”
[Saheeh Al-Bukhaari, Hadeeth No. 138, Vol. 1]
