Arabic (Original)
حَدَّثَنَا وَكِيعٌ حَدَّثَنَا الْمَسْعُودِيُّ عَنْ عُمَرَ بْنِ يَعْلَى الثَّقَفِيِّ عَنْ يَعْلَى بْنِ مُرَّةَ قَالَ كَانَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِذَا قَامَ إِلَى الصَّلَاةِ مَسَحَ وُجُوهَ أَصْحَابِهِ قَبْلَ أَنْ يُكَبِّرَ فَأَصَبْتُ شَيْئًا مِنْ خَلُوقٍ فَمَسَحَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وُجُوهَ أَصْحَابِهِ وَتَرَكَنِي قَالَ فَرَجَعْتُ وَغَسَلْتُهُ ثُمَّ جِئْتُ إِلَى الصَّلَاةِ الْأُخْرَى فَمَسَحَ وَجْهِي وَقَالَ عَادَ بِخَيْرِ دِينِهِ الْعُلَا تَابَ وَاسْتَهَلَّتْ السَّمَاءُ.
English Translation
Waki' told us, al-Mas'udi told us, from Umar ibn Ya'la al-Thaqafi, from Ya'la ibn Murrah, who said: The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, when he stood for prayer, used to wipe the faces of his companions before saying the takbir. So I got some perfumed cosmetic on me, and the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, wiped the faces of his companions but left me out. He said: So I went back and washed it off, then I came to the next prayer, and he wiped my face and said, 'He has returned to the good of his lofty religion, he has repented, and the sky has poured forth rain.'
