إِبْرَاهِيمَ ، قَالَ : قَالَ
صَالِحُ بْنُ كَيْسَانَ ، قَالَ
ابْنُ شِهَابٍ : وَلَكِنْ
عُرْوَةُ يُحَدِّثُ ، عَنْ
حُمْرَانَ ، فَلَمَّا تَوَضَّأَ
عُثْمَانُ ، قَالَ : أَلَا أُحَدِّثُكُمْ حَدِيثًا لَوْلَا آيَةٌ مَا حَدَّثْتُكُمُوهُ ، سَمِعْتُ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ : لَا يَتَوَضَّأُ رَجُلٌ فَيُحْسِنُ وُضُوءَهُ وَيُصَلِّي الصَّلَاةَ ، إِلَّا غُفِرَ لَهُ مَا بَيْنَهُ وَبَيْنَ الصَّلَاةِ حَتَّى يُصَلِّيَهَا . قَالَ عُرْوَةُ الْآيَةَ : إِنَّ الَّذِينَ يَكْتُمُونَ مَا أَنْزَلْنَا مِنَ الْبَيِّنَاتِ سورة البقرة آية 159 .
After performing the ablution 'Uthman said, "I am going to tell you a Hadith which I would not have told you, had I not been compelled by a certain Holy Verse (the sub narrator 'Urwa said: This verse is: "Verily, those who conceal the clear signs and the guidance which we have sent down...)" (2:159). I heard the Prophet saying, 'If a man performs ablution perfectly and then offers the compulsory congregational prayer, Allah will forgive his sins committed between that (prayer) and the (next) prayer till he offers it.
