Question

Kindly provide the reference for the following narration:

Nabi (sallallahu ‘alayhi wa sallam) was asked: “How can a person purify himself?” Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alayhi wa sallam) answered:

“He should remember that Allah ‘Azza Wa Jalla is with him wherever he is.”

 

Answer

Imam Tabarani (rahimahullah) and Imam Bayhaqi (rahimahullah) have recorded these words as part of a lengthier Hadith on the authority of Sayyiduna ‘Abdullah ibn Mu’awiyah Al Ghadiri (radiyallahu ‘anhu).

(Al Mu’jamus Saghir, Hadith: 555, As Sunanul Kubra, vol. 4, pg. 96 and Shu’abul Iman, Hadith: 3026. Also see Sunan Abi Dawud, Hadith: 1577)

 

And Allah Ta’ala Knows best.
