O God, I have washed my skin clean of ordure: do Thou wash this beloved (spirit) clean of worldly taints.”2220
از حدث شستم خدایا پوست را ** از حوادث تو بشو این دوست را
A certain person used to say at the time of abstersion, "O God, let me smell the sweet odour of Paradise" instead of "O God, make me one of those who repent much, and make me one of those who purify themselves," which is the (proper) form of prayer in abstersion; and he (also) used to recite the formula proper to abstersion at the time of rinsing his nose. A venerable man heard (him) and could not endure it.
شخصی به وقت استنجا میگفت اللهم ارحنی رائحة الجنه به جای آنک اللهم اجعلنی من التوابین واجعلنی من المتطهرین کی ورد استنجاست و ورد استنجا را به وقت استنشاق میگفت عزیزی بشنید و این را طاقت نداشت
A certain one said at the time of abstersion, “(O God), unite me with the scent of Paradise!”
آن یکی در وقت استنجا بگفت ** که مرا با بوی جنت دار جفت
(Thereupon) a person said, “You have used a good formula, but you have missed the (proper) hole for the prayer.
