Explanation of the hadith: There is no Muslim who performs ablution well and then…

The Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) pointed out two great virtues while addressing the people:

First: Whoever performs ablution well, thoroughly, completely, and perfectly in the prescribed manner, and gives each limb its due amount of water, and then says, I bear witness that there is no god but Allah and that Muhammad is the servant and Messenger of Allah, the eight gates of Paradise will be opened for him, and he may enter through whichever one he wishes.

Second: Whoever performs this complete and perfect ablution and then stands up and offers two Rak‘ahs, turning to them with his heart in sincerity and Khushū‘ (humility and focus), and submitting his face and all the parts of his body to Allah, Paradise will be guaranteed for him.

Lessons: There is no Muslim who performs ablution well and then…

The Hadīth shows the great bounty of Allah Almighty, as He gives ample rewards for simple deeds.
It is prescribed in the Shariah to perform ablution thoroughly and then offer two Rak‘ahs with Khushū‘; this entails a great reward.
Performing ablution thoroughly and saying this Dhikr thereafter is one of the causes for entering Paradise.
It is also recommended to say this Dhikr after taking a bath.
It demonstrates the Companions' keenness on goodness, such as learning knowledge and spreading it, and their cooperation in this regard and the affairs of their life.
This Dhikr after ablution purifies the heart and cleanses it from Shirk, just as ablution purifies the body and cleanses it from dirt.
