This hadith is ḥasan ṣaḥīḥ (1).

It has also been narrated in a hadith from Ibn ʿUmar, from the Prophet ﷺ, that he said: "Whoever performs ablution while already in a state of purity, Allah writes for him ten good deeds."

This hadith was narrated by al-Ifrīqī, from Abū Ghutayf, from Ibn ʿUmar, from the Prophet ﷺ.

60 — Al-Ḥusayn ibn Ḥurayth al-Marwazī narrated this to us, saying: Muḥammad ibn Yazīd al-Wāsiṭī narrated to us, from al-Ifrīqī. And this is a weak chain of transmission (2).

ʿAlī said: Yaḥyā ibn Saʿīd al-Qaṭṭān said: This hadith was mentioned to Hishām ibn ʿUrwah, and he said: "This is an eastern chain of transmission" (3).

--------------------------------------------
(1) In copy (D): "This hadith is ṣaḥīḥ." And after this in the edition of Shaykh Aḥmad Shākir: "And the hadith of Ḥumayd from Anas is a good, gharīb, ḥasan hadith," but this does not appear in our manuscript sources.

(2) It is as the author said, for in its chain is al-Ifrīqī — who is ʿAbd al-Raḥmān ibn Ziyād ibn Anʿum — and he is weak, and Abū Ghutayf, who is unknown, is alone in narrating it. It was also recorded by Abū Dāwūd (62) and Ibn Mājah (512) via the path of ʿAbd Allāh ibn Yazīd al-Muqriʾ and ʿĪsā ibn Yūnus, both from ʿAbd al-Raḥmān ibn Ziyād al-Ifrīqī, with this chain. Ibn Mājah mentioned a story in connection with it.

(3) Al-Mubārakfūrī said: That is, the narrators of this hadith are people of the East, and they are the people of Kūfah and Baṣrah, as stated in some marginal notes. Aḥmad Shākir said: This is an incomprehensible statement, unless he meant that the hadith is known among them from the narration of Abū Ghutayf. It is unlikely that he meant the narration of al-Ifrīqī, because firstly he is from the Maghrib, and secondly his death was later, about fifteen years after Hishām.
