Ablution, or wudu

عن حُمْرَانَ، مَوْلَى عُثْمَانَ، أَنَّ عُثْمَانَ بْنَ عَفَّانَ رضي الله عنه دَعَا بِوَضُوءٍ فَتَوَضَّأ،َ فَغَسَلَ كَفَّيْهِ ثَلَاثَ مَرَّاتٍ، ثُمَّ مَضْمَضَ وَاسْتَنْثَرَ، ثُمَّ غَسَلَ وَجْهَهُ ثَلَاثَ مَرَّاتٍ، ثُمَّ غَسَلَ يَدَهُ الْيُمْنَى إِلَى الْمِرْفَقِ ثَلَاثَ مَرَّاتٍ، ثُمَّ غَسَلَ يَدَهُ الْيُسْرَى مِثْلَ ذَلِكَ، ثُمَّ مَسَحَ رَأْسَهُ، ثُمَّ غَسَلَ رِجْلَهُ الْيُمْنَى إِلَى الْكَعْبَيْنِ ثَلَاثَ مَرَّاتٍ، ثُمَّ غَسَلَ الْيُسْرَى مِثْلَ ذَلِكَ،ثُمَّ قَالَ: رَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ تَوَضَّأَ نَحْوَ وُضُوئِي هَذَا،ثُمَّ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ: «مَنْ تَوَضَّأَ نَحْوَ وُضُوئِي هَذَا، ثُمَّ قَامَ فَرَكَعَ رَكْعَتَيْنِ لَا يُحَدِّثُ فِيهِمَا نَفْسَهُ، غُفِرَ لَهُ مَا تَقَدَّمَ مِنْ ذَنْبِهِ»، وزاد مسلم في رواية: «وَكَانَتْ صَلاَتُهُ وَمَشْيُهُ إِلَى الْمَسْجِدِ نَافِلَةً»

Ḥumrān, ‘Uthmān’s mawla narrated that:

1. ‘Uthmān ibn ‘Affān called for water and he performed the ablution: he washed his hands three times, then rinsed his mouth and blew his nose. He then washed his face three times, then washed his right hand up to the elbow three times, then washed his left hand in the same way. He then wiped his head, then washed his right foot up to the ankle three times, then his left foot in the same way.

2. He then said: ‘I saw God’s Messenger (peace be upon him) performing the ablution in a way similar to what I have done

3. then God’s Messenger (peace be upon him) said: “Whoever performs the ablution in a similar way to what I have done now, then stands up and offers two rak‘ahs during which he thinks of nothing [other than his prayer] is forgiven whatever sin he did”’.

4. Another version related by Muslim adds: ‘and his prayer and walk to the mosque will be a gain’.

Abu ꜤAmr, or Abu ꜤAbdullāh, ꜤUthmān ibn ꜤAffān ibn Abi al-ꜤĀṣ ibn Umayyah ibn ꜤAbd Shams of the Quraysh tribe was the third caliph and known by his nickname Dhul-Nūrayn (i.e. the one with two lights). He was one of the earliest people to embrace Islam, and one of the ten companions of the Prophet given the happy news that they were certain to go to Heaven. He went on the two migrations to Abyssinia and Madinah. He was married to two of the Prophet’s daughters: Ruqayyah, and later Umm Kulthūm. The angels used to be diffident in his presence. He became the third caliph after the martyrdom of ꜤUmar ibn al-Khaṭṭāb in Year 24 AH 645 CE. During his reign, Arminia, Khurāsān, Tunisia and other areas were annexed to the Muslim state. He completed the collation of the Qur’an and unified its copies so that no disagreement could take place in different areas of the state. He was assassinated in Madinah and became a martyr in Year 35 AH 656 CE.
