Question
Could you please translate this narration:
استقيموا، ولن تحصوا، واعلموا أن خير أعمالكم الصلاة، ولا يحافظ على الوضوء إلا مؤمن
Answer
Nabi (sallallahu ‘alayhi wa sallam) said:
“Remain steadfast [on whatever good is possible] for you will be unable to thoroughly carry out every single good deed [or, Remain steadfast for you are unable to count the reward of steadfastness]. Know that among the best of your deeds is Salah and that none protects his wudu [i.e., Habitually remains in the state of Wudu] except a believer”
(Sunan Ibn Majah, Hadith: 278, Musnad Ahmad, vol. 5, pg. 277. Refer: Faydul Qadir, Hadith: 994)
