حَدَّثَنَا جَعْفَرُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عِمْرَانَ الثَّعْلَبِيُّ الْكُوفِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا زَيْدُ بْنُ حُبَابٍ، عَنْ مُعَاوِيَةَ بْنِ صَالِحٍ، عَنْ رَبِيعَةَ بْنِ يَزِيدَ الدِّمَشْقِيِّ، عَنْ أَبِي إِدْرِيسَ الْخَوْلاَنِيِّ، وَأَبِي، عُثْمَانَ عَنْ عُمَرَ بْنِ الْخَطَّابِ، قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم " مَنْ تَوَضَّأَ فَأَحْسَنَ الْوُضُوءَ ثُمَّ قَالَ أَشْهَدُ أَنْ لاَ إِلَهَ إِلاَّ اللَّهُ وَحْدَهُ لاَ شَرِيكَ لَهُ وَأَشْهَدُ أَنَّ مُحَمَّدًا عَبْدُهُ وَرَسُولُهُ اللَّهُمَّ اجْعَلْنِي مِنَ التَّوَّابِينَ وَاجْعَلْنِي مِنَ الْمُتَطَهِّرِينَ فُتِحَتْ لَهُ ثَمَانِيَةُ أَبْوَابِ الْجَنَّةِ يَدْخُلُ مِنْ أَيِّهَا شَاءَ " . قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى وَفِي الْبَابِ عَنْ أَنَسٍ وَعُقْبَةَ بْنِ عَامِرٍ . قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى حَدِيثُ عُمَرَ قَدْ خُولِفَ زَيْدُ بْنُ حُبَابٍ فِي هَذَا الْحَدِيثِ . قَالَ وَرَوَى عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ صَالِحٍ وَغَيْرُهُ عَنْ مُعَاوِيَةَ بْنِ صَالِحٍ عَنْ رَبِيعَةَ بْنِ يَزِيدَ عَنْ أَبِي إِدْرِيسَ عَنْ عُقْبَةَ بْنِ عَامِرٍ عَنْ عُمَرَ . وَعَنْ رَبِيعَةَ عَنْ أَبِي عُثْمَانَ عَنْ جُبَيْرِ بْنِ نُفَيْرٍ عَنْ عُمَرَ . وَهَذَا حَدِيثٌ فِي إِسْنَادِهِ اضْطِرَابٌ وَلاَ يَصِحُّ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم فِي هَذَا الْبَابِ كَبِيرُ شَيْءٍ . قَالَ مُحَمَّدٌ وَأَبُو إِدْرِيسَ لَمْ يَسْمَعْ مِنْ عُمَرَ شَيْئًا .
'Umar bin Al-Khattab Narrated from:
Allah'S Messenger Said: 'Whoever Performs Wudu, Making Wudu Well, Then Says: (Ashhadu An La Ilaha Illallah, Wahdahu La Sharika Lahu, Wa Ashhadu Anna Muhammadan-Abduhu Wa Rasuluhu, Allahummajalni Minat Tawwabin, Waj'Alni Minal Mutatahhirin) 'I Testify That None Has The Right To Be Worshipped But Allah Alone, There Are No Partners For Him. And I Testify That Muhammad Is His Servant And Messenger. O Allah! Make Me Among The Repentant, And Make Me Among Those Who Purify Themselves.' Then Eight Gates Of Paradise Are Opened For Him, That May Enter By Whichever Of Them Wishes."

Summary of Jami at-Tirmidhi Hadith 55
This hadith about dua after wudu reports that whoever performs wudu and makes it well, then says the testimony of faith and asks Allah to make him among the repentant and purified, the eight gates of Paradise are opened for him to enter from whichever he wishes. The wording joins outward purification with faith, repentance, and inner cleanliness. At the same time, the same passage includes a note from Abu Eisa that the chain has confusion and that not much is sound from the Prophet in this chapter. So the explanation must be careful. The text encourages making wudu well and remembering Allah after it, while the grading note reminds readers not to ignore hadith criticism.
What we learn from this hadith
- The report links good wudu with a supplication of faith, repentance, and purity.
- The wording mentions the eight gates of Paradise being opened.
- The passage also records discussion about confusion in the chain.
