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.
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 ﷺ 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 ﷺ, 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."
