Hadith text

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 rak`at in which he does not think of worldly things, all his previous sins will be forgiven

Humran bataate hain: Maine Uthman ko wudu karte dekha; unhone apne haath teen baar dhoye, kuLLI ki aur apni naak mein paani daal kar phoonka, phir apna chehra teen baar dhoya, phir apni dahini kohni tak baazu teen baar dhoi, phir baayi kohni tak teen baar, phir apne sar par paani phera, phir apna dahina paon teen baar dhoya, phir baaya paon teen baar dhoya, aur kaha: "Maine Allah ke Rasool ko isi tarah wudu karte dekha jaisa maine abhi kiya, aur phir unhone kaha: 'Jo koi mere is wudu jaisa wudu kare, phir do rakat padhe jisme woh duniyawi khayaalon mein na uljhe, uske pichhle sab gunah maaf ho jaayenge.'"
