Humran, the freed slave of 'Uthman, said:Uthman b. 'Affan called for ablution water and this is how he performed the ablution. He washed his hands thrice. He then rinsed his mouth and cleaned his nose with water (three times). He then washed his face three times, then washed his right arm up to the elbow three times, then washed his left arm like that, then wiped his head; then washed his right foot up to the ankle three times, then washed his left foot like that, and then said: I saw the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) perform ablution like this ablution of mine. Then the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: He who performs ablution like this ablution of mine and then stood up (for prayer) and offered two rak'ahs of prayer without allowing his thoughts to be distracted, all his previous sins are expiated. Ibn Shihab said: Our scholars remarked: This is the most complete of the ablutions performed for prayer

حدثني ابو الطاهر، احمد بن عمرو بن عبد الله بن عمرو بن سرح وحرملة بن يحيى التجيبي قالا اخبرنا ابن وهب، عن يونس، عن ابن شهاب، ان عطاء بن يزيد الليثي، اخبره ان حمران مولى عثمان اخبره ان عثمان بن عفان - رضى الله عنه - دعا بوضوء فتوضا فغسل كفيه ثلاث مرات ثم مضمض واستنثر ثم غسل وجهه ثلاث مرات ثم غسل يده اليمنى الى المرفق ثلاث مرات ثم غسل يده اليسرى مثل ذلك ثم مسح راسه ثم غسل رجله اليمنى الى الكعبين ثلاث مرات ثم غسل اليسرى مثل ذلك ثم قال رايت رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم توضا نحو وضويي هذا ثم قال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم " من توضا نحو وضويي هذا ثم قام فركع ركعتين لا يحدث فيهما نفسه غفر له ما تقدم من ذنبه " . قال ابن شهاب وكان علماونا يقولون هذا الوضوء اسبغ ما يتوضا به احد للصلاة
