[Machine] I saw Uthman perform ablution (wudu) and he poured water from a container onto his hands, washing them three times. Then he put his right hand into the water and rinsed his mouth and nose. After that, he washed his face three times and washed his hands up to the elbows. He then wiped his head and washed his right foot three times, followed by his left foot three times. He said, "I saw the Messenger of Allah ﷺ perform ablution similar to my ablution. Whoever performs ablution like this and then prays two units (rak'ahs) of prayer without letting his mind wander, all his previous sins will be forgiven." Abu Al-Hasan bin Abdul Dan narrated to us, who was informed by Ahmad bin Ubayd Al-Saffar, who was narrated by Ubayd bin Abdul Wahid and Ahmad bin Ibrahim bin Malhan, who said it was narrated by Yahya, who mentioned its meaning and added that the washing of the foot extended up to the ankles. Abu Abdullah Al-Hafiz narrated to us, who was informed by Muhammad bin Al-Fadl Al-Muzakki, who was me, Muhammad bin Hamdoon, who was informed by Imran bin Bakkara, who was informed by Abu Al-Yaman, who was me, Shuayb bin Abi Hamza, who was informed by Al-Zuhri, who was informed by Ata bin Yazid, who mentioned it with its meaning. He said, "Then he put his right hand into the water, rinsed his mouth, and rinsed his nose."

I saw ʿUthman bin ʿAffan ؓ do wudooʿ, He poured water onto his hands three times and washed them, then he rinsed his mouth and nose, then he washed his face three times, then he washed his right arm up to the elbow three times, then the left arm likewise, then he wiped his head, then he washed his right foot three times, then the left foot likewise. He said: I saw the Messenger of Allah ﷺ do wudooʿ similar to what I just did, then he said: “Whoever does wudooʿ as I just did, then prays two rak’ahs without letting his mind wander, his previous sins will be forgiven” (Using translation from Aḥmad 421)
