Narrated Humran:
I saw 'Uthman performing ablution; he washed his hands thrice, rinsed his mouth and then
washed his nose, by putting water in it and then blowing it out, and washed his face thrice, and then
washed his right forearm up to the elbow thrice, and then the left-forearm up to the elbow thrice,
then smeared his head with water, washed his right foot thrice, and then his left foot thrice and said,
"I saw Allah's Apostle performing ablution similar to my present ablution, and then he said, 'Whoever
performs ablution like my present ablution and then offers two Rakat in which he does not think of
worldly things, all his previous sins will be forgiven."
