Riyad as-Salihin 1146 (Book 8, Hadith 156) #37635
Rewarding Salat - Bilal's Most Hopeful Act

SUMMARY: The hadith is about Bilal (May Allah be pleased with him) and his most hopeful act of performing Salat (prayer) for as long as was destined for him to perform whenever he made Wudu' (or took a bath).

Abu Hurairah (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: The Messenger of Allah said to Bilal (May Allah be pleased with him) "Tell me about the most hopeful act (ie, one which you deem the most rewarding with Allah) you have done since your acceptance of Islam because I heard the sound of the steps of your shoes in front of me in Jannah". Bilal said: "I do not consider any act more hopeful than that whenever I make Wudu' (or took a bath) in an hour of night or day, I would immediately perform Salat (prayer) for as long as was destined for me to perform". Al-Bukhari and Muslim.
وعن أبي هريرة رضي الله عنه أن رسول الله قال لبلال‏:‏ يا بلال حدثني بأرجى عمل عملته في الإسلام، فإني سمعت دف نعليك بين يدي في الجنة، قال‏:‏ ما عملت عملا أرجى عندي من أني لم أتطهر طهورًا في ساعة من ليل أو نهار إلا صليت بذلك الطهور ما كتب لي أن أصلي‏.‏ ‏(‏‏(‏متفق عليه وهذا لفظ البخاري‏)‏‏)‏‏.‏
