Hadith 421

(حديث مرفوع) حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ ، أَنْبَأَنَا مَعْمَرٌ ، عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ ، عَنْ عَطَاءِ بْنِ يَزِيدَ اللَّيْثِيِّ ، عَنْ حُمْرَانَ بْنِ أَبَانَ ، قَالَ : رَأَيْتُ عُثْمَانَ بْنَ عَفَّانَ تَوَضَّأَ ، فَأَفْرَغَ عَلَى يَدَيْهِ ثَلَاثًا ، فَغَسَلَهُمَا ، ثُمَّ مَضْمَضَ وَاسْتَنْثَرَ ، ثُمَّ غَسَلَ وَجْهَهُ ثَلَاثًا ، ثُمَّ غَسَلَ يَدَهُ الْيُمْنَى إِلَى الْمِرْفَقِ ثَلَاثًا ، ثُمَّ الْيُسْرَى مِثْلَ ذَلِكَ ، ثُمَّ مَسَحَ بِرَأْسِهِ ، ثُمَّ غَسَلَ قَدَمَهُ الْيُمْنَى ثَلَاثًا ، ثُمَّ الْيُسْرَى مِثْلَ ذَلِكَ ، ثُمَّ قَالَ : رَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ تَوَضَّأَ نَحْوًا مِنْ وُضُوئِي هَذَا ، ثُمَّ قَالَ : " مَنْ تَوَضَّأَ وُضُوئِي هَذَا ، ثُمَّ صَلَّى رَكْعَتَيْنِ لَا يُحَدِّثُ فِيهِمَا نَفْسَهُ ، غُفِرَ لَهُ مَا تَقَدَّمَ مِنْ ذَنْبِهِ " .
Humran narrates that once I saw Sayyiduna Uthman (may Allah be pleased with him) performing ablution. He first poured water on both his hands, then washed both hands three times, then washed his face three times, rinsed his mouth and put water into his nose, washed his arms including the elbows three times, then wiped his head, and washed his feet including the ankles three times. He then said: I saw the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) performing ablution in this manner, after which the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Whoever performs ablution like this of mine and then offers two units of prayer in such a way that he does not let thoughts and distractions enter his heart, Allah Almighty will forgive all his past sins.
