Hadith 35
35 - حَدَّثَنَا الْحُمَيْدِيُّ، ثنا سُفْيَانُ، ثنا هِشَامُ بْنُ عُرْوَةَ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ حُمْرَانَ مَوْلَي عُثْمَانَ قَالَ: تَوَضَّأَ عُثْمَانُ عَلَي الْمَقَاعِدِ ثَلَاثًا ثَلَاثًا، قَالَ: هَكَذَا رَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّي اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَتَوَضَّأُ، ثُمَّ قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّي اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ: «مَا مِنْ رَجُلٍ يَتَوَضَّأُ فَيُحْسِنُ الْوُضُوءَ ثُمَّ يُصَلِّي إِلَّا غَفَرَ اللَّهُ لَهُ مَا بَيْنَهُ وَبَيْنَ الصَّلَاةِ الْأُخْرَي حَتَّي يُصَلِّيَهَا»
Humran, the freed slave of Sayyiduna Uthman bin Affan (may Allah be pleased with him), narrates: Sayyiduna Uthman bin Affan (may Allah be pleased with him) performed ablution three times at the place of "Maqa'id" and stated: I saw the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) performing ablution in this manner. Then Sayyiduna Uthman bin Affan (may Allah be pleased with him) said: I heard the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) say: "Whoever performs ablution well, then offers prayer, Allah Almighty forgives the sins committed between that prayer and the next prayer, as long as he does not perform the next prayer."
