Talhah bin Nafi’ narrates: Sayyiduna Abu Ayyub Ansari, Sayyiduna Jabir bin Abdullah Ansari, and Sayyiduna Anas bin Malik Ansari (may Allah be pleased with them) reported regarding this verse from the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) (the verse is:)“There are those in it who love to purify themselves, and Allah loves those who purify themselves well.”The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:“O group of Ansar! Allah has praised you greatly regarding purification. What is your method of purification?”They replied:“O Messenger of Allah! We perform wudu for prayer, and we perform ghusl in the state of major impurity.”The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:“Is there any other method you have besides this?”They replied:“No! However, when any one of us relieves himself, he likes to use water for istinja (cleaning).”So the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:“That must be the reason; continue to adhere to it.”The narrator of this narration, Utbah bin Abu Hakim, is not reliable.
