It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "When a Muslim or a believing servant performs ablution and washes his face, all the (minor) sins committed by his eyes are washed away with the water or with the last drop of water. Then when he washes his hands, every sin committed by his hands is washed away with the water or with the last drop of water, until he emerges purified from all (minor) sins."
