This hadith has been narrated on the authority of A'mash with the same chain of transmitters, but (these words) are not there: " They pass through the religion clean as the arrow passes through the prey".
This hadith also serves as a reminder that we must always strive for excellence in all aspects of life, including our religious practice. We must take care not to let anything distract us from fulfilling our obligations towards God and His teachings, so that we can pass through this life with purity and righteousness.
