It is narrated from Hazrat Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Whoever performs ablution and does it well, then says these words three times: "Ashhadu an la ilaha illallah wahdahu la sharika lahu, wa anna Muhammadan abduhu wa rasuluhu" (I bear witness that there is no god but Allah, He is alone, He has no partner, and that Muhammad is His servant and Messenger), then all eight gates of Paradise will be opened for him, and he may enter Paradise through whichever gate he wishes.
