It has been narrated from 'Alqamah b. al-Hasin that he said, “I heard Qais b. 'Asim al-Minqari say, 'I was with the Messenger of Allah (S) with a contingent from the tribe of Bani Tamim, when he said to me: “Go and perform a ghusl with water mixed with sidr (a type of tree).” The companion said, “I did as I was told and returned back to the Prophet and said to him, 'O' Messenger of Allah!

Thus, if mankind was not negligent, then they would not easily give themselves up to abasement, nor would they commit sins.
