Mukhtasar Muslim

It is narrated from Humran, who was the freed slave of Sayyiduna Uthman bin Affan (may Allah be pleased with him), that he said: Sayyiduna Uthman bin Affan (may Allah be pleased with him) called for water for ablution and performed ablution. First, he washed both hands up to the wrists three times, then rinsed his mouth and put water into his nose. Then he washed his face three times, then washed his right hand up to the elbow, then washed his left hand three times, then wiped his head. Then he washed his right foot three times, then washed his left foot three times. After that, he said: I saw the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) perform ablution in the same way as I have just performed ablution. Then the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: Whoever performs ablution like my ablution, then stands and prays two rak‘ahs, not letting his mind wander to anything else during them, his previous sins will be forgiven. Ibn Shihab said: Our scholars used to say that this ablution is the most complete of all ablutions performed for prayer.

It is narrated from Humran that Sayyiduna Uthman (may Allah be pleased with him) said that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: Whoever performs ablution completely as Allah Almighty has commanded him, then the obligatory prayers will be an expiation for all the sins committed between those prayers.

Narrated from Sayyiduna Uthman (bin Affan) (may Allah be pleased with him): He said that I heard the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) say: Whoever performs ablution perfectly for prayer, then goes to the (mosque) for the obligatory prayer and prays with the people or in congregation or in the mosque, Allah Almighty will forgive his sins.
