Narrated: Humran From Sahih Muslim
that he heard Uthman
saying this: I heard the Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon
him) uttering these words (as stated above).
said: Uthman b. 'Affan
called for ablution water and this is how he performed the
ablution. He washed his hands thrice. He then rinsed his mouth
and cleaned his nose with water (three times). He then washed
his face three times, then washed his right arm up to the
elbow three times, then washed his left arm like that, then
wiped his head; then washed his right foot up to the ankle
three times, then washed his left foot like that, and then
said: I saw the Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him)
perform ablution like this ablution of mine. Then the
Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him) said: He who
performs ablution like this ablution of mine and then stood up
(for prayer) and offered two rak'ahs of prayer without
allowing his thoughts to be distracted, all his previous sins
are expiated. Ibn Shihab said: Our scholars remarked: This is
the most complete of the ablutions performed for prayer.
I saw Uthman call for
a vessel (of water) and poured water over his hands three
times and then washed them. Then he put his right hand in the
vessel and rinsed his mouth and cleaned his nose. Then he
washed his face three times and his hands up to the elbow
three times; then wiped his head, then washed his feet three
times. Then he said that the Messenger of Allah (may peace be
upon him) had said: He who performed ablution like this
ablution of mine and offered two raklahs of prayer without
allowing his thoughts to be distracted, all his previous sins
would be expiated.
I heard from 'Uthman
b. 'Affan and he was in the courtyard of the mosque, when the
Mu'adhdhin (announcer of the prayer) came to him at the time
of afternoon prayer. So the ('Uthman) called for the ablution
water and performed ablution and then said: By Allah, I am
narrating to you a hadith. If there were not a verse in the
Book of Allah, I would have never narrated it to you. I heard
Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) say: If a Muslim
performs ablution and does it well and offers prayer, all his
(sins) daring the period from one prayer to another would be
pardoned by Allah.
when 'Uthman performed ablution he said: By
Allah, I am narrating to you a hadith had there not been this
verse in the Book of Allah. I would not have narrated it to
you. Verily I heard the Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon
him) say: Not a person is there who performed ablution, and
did it well, then offered prayer, but his sins (which he
committed) were not pardoned between the prayer that he
offered and the next one. 'Urwa said: The verse is this:"
Those who suppress the clear proofs and the guidance which We
have sent down"... to His words:" the Cursers" (ii. 15).
I brought for
Uthman b. 'Affan the ablution water. He performed ablution and
then said: Verily the people narrate from the Messenger of
Allah (may peace be upon him) a hadith. I do not know what
these are. but (I know this fact) that I saw the Messenger of
Allah (may peace be upon him) perform ablution like this
ablution of mine and then he said: He who performed ablution
like this, all his previous sins would be expiated and his
prayer and going towards the mosque would have an extra
reward. In the tradition narrated by Ibn 'Abda (the words
are):" I came to Uthman and he performed ablution."
the freed slave of Uthman reported: One day Uthman b.
Affan performed the ablution well, and then said: I saw
Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) perform ablution,
the best ablution, and then observed: He who performed
ablution like this and then went towards the mosque and
nothing (but the love of) prayer urged him (to do so), all his
previous (minor) sins would be expiated.
on the
authority of 'Uthman b. 'Affan that he heard Allah's Messenger
(may peace be upon him) say: He who performed ablution for
prayer and performed it properly and then went (to observe)
obligatory prayer and offered it along with people or with the
congregation or in the mosque, Allah would pardon his sins.
