Humran narrates: Sayyiduna Uthman Ghani (may Allah be pleased with him) called for water for ablution and performed ablution. He washed his hands three times, then rinsed his mouth, then put water into his nose. Then he washed his face three times, then washed his right arm up to the elbow three times, then washed his left arm in the same way, then wiped his head, then washed his right foot up to the ankles, then washed his left foot in the same way. Then he stated this: I saw the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) performing ablution like this ablution of mine. Then the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Whoever performs ablution like this ablution of mine, and then stands and offers two units of prayer without being distracted by his thoughts during them, Allah Almighty forgives his past sins."
