Hadith #454
Arabic Text
حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ بْنُ هَارُونَ أَخْبَرَنَا الْمَسْعُودِيُّ عَنْ ابْنِ يَعْلَى بْنِ مُرَّةَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ قَالَ كَانَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَمْسَحُ وُجُوهَنَا فِي الصَّلَاةِ وَيُبَارِكُ عَلَيْنَا قَالَ فَجَاءَ ذَاتَ يَوْمٍ فَمَسَحَ وُجُوهَ الَّذِينَ عَنْ يَمِينِي وَعَنْ يَسَارِي وَتَرَكَنِي وَذَلِكَ أَنِّي كُنْتُ دَخَلْتُ عَلَى أُخْتٍ لِي فَمَسَحْتُ وَجْهِي بِشَيْءٍ مِنْ صُفْرَةٍ فَقِيل
َ لِي إِنَّمَا تَرَكَكَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ لِمَا رَأَى بِوَجْهِكَ فَانْطَلَقْتُ إِلَى بِئْرٍ فَدَخَلْتُ فِيهَا فَاغْتَسَلْتُ ثُمَّ إِنِّي حَضَرْتُ صَلَاةً أُخْرَى فَمَرَّ بِي النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَمَسَحَ وَجْهِي وَبَرَّكَ عَلَيَّ وَقَالَ عَادَ بِخَيْرِ دِينِهِ الْعُلَا تَابَ وَاسْتَهَلَّتْ السَّمَاءُ

English Translation
Yazīd ibn Hārūn narrated to us, al-Masʿūdī informed us, from the son of Yaʿlā ibn Murrah, from his father, who said: "the Prophet ﷺ used to wipe our faces before the prayer and invoke blessings upon us. One day he came and wiped the faces of those on my right and left but skipped me. That was because I had visited a sister of mine and wiped my face with some yellow dye. I was told: 'the Messenger of Allah ﷺ only skipped you because of what he saw on your face.' So I went to a well, entered it, and bathed. Then I attended another prayer, and the Prophet ﷺ passed by me, wiped my face, invoked blessings upon me, and said: 'He has returned to the goodness of his religion — the Most High has accepted his repentance, and the sky has poured forth.'"
