Abu Hurayrah (ABPWH) reported that the Prophet (PBUH) once said to Bilāl at the time of Fajr prayer, “Bilāl, tell me about the act you have done that you deem would be the most rewarding for you with Allāh, for I heard the sound of your footsteps in front of me in Paradise.” Bilāl (ABPWH) replied, “I have not done a deed that I deem would be the most rewarding for me with Allāh, except that I have never performed ablution during any hour of night or day unless I offered prayer with that purification as much as Allāh has written for me to pray.”
