Fath al-Rabbani

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Amr bin Abasah (may Allah be pleased with him), he says: I said, "O Messenger of Allah! Tell me about ablution (wudu)." He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "When any one of you brings the water for ablution near, then rinses his mouth, draws water into his nose and expels it, then when he expels the water from his nose, the sins come out from his mouth and nostrils with the water. Then when he washes his face according to the command of Allah Almighty, the sins of his face come out from the edges of his beard with the water. Then when he washes his arms up to and including the elbows, the mistakes of his arms come out from the tips of his fingers. Then when he wipes his head, the sins of his head come out from the edges of his hair with the water. Then when he washes his feet up to the ankles according to the command of Allah Almighty, the sins of his feet come out from the edges of his toes. Then when he stands and praises Allah Almighty in a manner befitting Him, and then performs two rak‘ahs, he comes out of his sins just as on the day his mother gave birth to him." Abu Umamah (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "O Amr bin Abasah! Consider carefully what you have said. Did you hear these things from the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him)? Is all of this granted to a servant at one place?" Sayyiduna Amr bin Abasah (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "O Abu Umamah! I have grown old, my bones have become weak, the time of my death has drawn near, and I have no need to lie about Allah Almighty and the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him). If I had heard it from him once or twice or three times (I would not have narrated this hadith), but I have heard it from him seven times or even more than that."
