´Abu Hurairah narrated that :` Allah's Messenger said: "When a Muslim, or believer, performs Wudu', washing his face, every evil that he looked at with his eyes leaves with the water - or with the last drop of water, or an expression similar to that - and when he washes his hands, every evil he did with his hands leaves with the water - or with the last drop of water - until he becomes free of sin."

Brief Explanation
1؎: The meaning of "sins fall away" is that sins are forgiven, and by sins here is meant minor (saghirah) sins, because major (kabirah) sins are not forgiven without sincere repentance (tawbah).
2؎: From this hadith it is understood that ablution (wudu) is a means of inner purification along with physical cleanliness.
3؎: Apparently, this is a difficult phrase, because in technical terms, the rank of "hasan" is less than that of "sahih", so how can both of these be combined in the same place despite this difference? Various answers have been given in this regard; the best explanation has been provided by Hafiz Ibn Hajar: (a) If a hadith has two or more chains of transmission (sanad), then the meaning will be that this hadith is "hasan" according to one chain and "sahih" according to another chain. And if the hadith has only one chain, then its meaning is that for one group this hadith is "hasan" and for another it is "sahih", i.e., the hadith scholar is expressing doubt regarding this hadith as to whether it is "hasan" or "sahih".

Hadith Commentary:
Vocabulary of the Hadith:
:
وَيْلٌ:
To be afflicted with evil,
Destruction and ruin.
Benefits and Issues:
When a person recites a verse of prostration (ayah of sajdah) during prayer or outside of prayer and then performs prostration (sajdah), at that moment Satan says this, and this is the correspondence between the hadith and the chapter.
In this way, Satan became deserving of Hellfire due to his refusal of a single prostration, and only a disbeliever (kafir) is deserving of Hellfire.
