Hadith 58
۞
Hadith.59 - People used to perform istinja (cleaning after relieving oneself) with stones, and a man from the Ansar ate some food, which upset his stomach. He then performed istinja with water. Allah (swt), Blessed and Exalted, revealed:
"Indeed, Allah (swt) loves those who repent and loves those who purify themselves." (Surah Al Baqarah 2:222).
The Messenger of Allah (sw) called him, and the man feared that something negative had been revealed about him. When he entered, the Prophet asked him, "Have you done anything today?"
He replied: "Yes, O’ Messenger of Allah (sw), I ate some food, which upset my stomach, so I performed istinja with water."
The Prophet then said: "Rejoice! For Allah (swt), Blessed and Exalted, has revealed concerning you: 'Indeed, Allah (swt) loves those who repent and loves those who purify themselves.' You are among the first to repent and among the first to purify themselves."
59 - وَ كَانَ اَلنَّاسُ يَسْتَنْجُونَ بِالْأَحْجَارِ فَأَكَلَ رَجُلٌ مِنَ اَلْأَنْصَارِ طَعَاماً فَلاَنَ بَطْنُهُ فَاسْتَنْجَى بِالْمَاءِ فَأَنْزَلَ اَللَّهُ تَبَارَكَ وتَعَالَى فِيهِ: « إِنَّ اَللّٰهَ يُحِبُّ اَلتَّوّٰابِينَ وَ يُحِبُّ اَلْمُتَطَهِّرِينَ »
فَدَعَاهُ رَسُولُ اَللَّهِ صَلَّى اَللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَ آلِهِ فَخَشِيَ اَلرَّجُلُ أَنْ يَكُونَ قَدْ نَزَلَ فِيهِ أَمْرٌ يَسُوؤُهُ فَلَمَّا دَخَلَ قَالَ لَهُ رَسُولُ اَللَّهِ صَلَّى اَللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَ آلِهِ «هَلْ عَمِلْتَ فِي يَوْمِكَ هَذَا شَيْئاً» قَالَ نَعَمْ يَا رَسُولَ اَللَّهِ أَكَلْتُ طَعَاماً فَلاَنَ بَطْنِي فَاسْتَنْجَيْتُ بِالْمَاءِ فَقَالَ لَهُ «أَبْشِرْ فَإِنَّ اَللَّهَ تَبَارَكَ وتَعَالَى قَدْ أَنْزَلَ فِيكَ: «إِنَّ اَللّٰهَ يُحِبُّ اَلتَّوّٰابِينَ وَ يُحِبُّ اَلْمُتَطَهِّرِينَ» فَكُنْتَ أَنْتَ أَوَّلَ اَلتَّوَّابِينَ وَ أَوَّلَ اَلْمُتَطَهِّرِينَ.
