Salim bin Abdullah (may Allah have mercy on him) narrates from his father (may Allah be pleased with him) that Sayyiduna Uthman (may Allah be pleased with him) came while Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) was seated on the pulpit delivering the sermon on Friday. He said: What time is this? Sayyiduna Uthman (may Allah be pleased with him) said: It was nothing but the ablution (that delayed me). Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) said: The ablution too is fine, but you know that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) "used to order us to take the ritual bath (ghusl)."
