It is narrated about Sayyiduna Uthman Ghani, may Allah be pleased with him: One day he called for water for ablution and then invited some individuals from among the companions of the Noble Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him. Then he poured water with his right hand onto his left hand and washed it three times. He rinsed his mouth three times, then put water into his nose, then washed his face three times, then washed both his arms up to the elbows three times each, then wiped his head, then washed both his feet and cleaned them thoroughly. Then he stated: "I saw the Noble Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, perform ablution in the same manner as you have just seen me perform ablution. Then the Noble Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said: 'Whoever performs ablution and perfects his ablution, then after that offers two units of prayer, regarding his sins he becomes like the day his mother gave birth to him.'"
