Narrated Humran:(the freed slave of `Uthman bin `Affan) I saw `Uthman bin `Affan asking (for a tumbler of water) to perform ablution (and when it was brought) he poured water from it over his hands and washed them thrice and then put his right hand in the water container and rinsed his mouth and washed his nose by putting water in it and then blowing it out. Then he washed his face thrice and (then) forearms up to the elbows thrice, then passed his wet hands over his head and then washed each foot thrice. After that `Uthman said, "I saw the Prophet (ﷺ) performing ablution like this of mine, and he said, 'If anyone performs ablution like that of mine and offers a two-rak`at prayer during which he does not think of anything else (not related to the present prayer) then his past sins will be forgiven

حدثنا ابو اليمان، قال اخبرنا شعيب، عن الزهري، قال اخبرني عطاء بن يزيد، عن حمران، مولى عثمان بن عفان انه راى عثمان دعا بوضوء، فافرغ على يديه من انايه، فغسلهما ثلاث مرات، ثم ادخل يمينه في الوضوء، ثم تمضمض، واستنشق، واستنثر، ثم غسل وجهه ثلاثا ويديه الى المرفقين ثلاثا، ثم مسح براسه، ثم غسل كل رجل ثلاثا، ثم قال رايت النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم يتوضا نحو وضويي هذا وقال " من توضا نحو وضويي هذا ثم صلى ركعتين، لا يحدث فيهما نفسه، غفر الله له ما تقدم من ذنبه
