The adornment of the believer will reach the places where the water of Wudhoo' reaches

Question

salamun alaykum.dear sheikh,what is the meaning of the hadith that state that the adorment of a believer will reaches the limit of his ablution.may Allah reward and bless you

Answer

All perfect praise be to Allaah, The Lord of the Worlds. I testify that there is none worthy of worship except Allaah, and that Muhammad, sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam, is His Slave and Messenger.

The adornment here refers to the ornaments with which the believer will be adorned in the Hereafter. It is also said that it means the brightness and light that appear on the organs of Wudhoo’ (ablution) of the believer.

Ibn ‘Uthaymeen  may  Allaah  have  mercy  upon  him said: “The believer will be adorned in Paradise, be it a man or a woman, with that adornment which will reach as far as the Wudhoo’ reaches. Accordingly, the adornment of the hands will be to the elbows because Wudhoo’ reaches the elbows."

Allaah Knows best.
