Humran reports: I saw Sayyiduna Uthman Ghani (may Allah be pleased with him) sitting in the sitting places. He called for water for ablution and performed ablution. Then he stated: I saw the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) at this very place, and he performed ablution just as I have performed. Then the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: "Whoever performs ablution like this of mine, his past sins will be forgiven." Then the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: "Do not fall into misunderstanding."
