The Falling of Sins with the Water of Ablution

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
What is the authenticity of the statement that sins fall off in the place of ablution?

Answer:
Yes, a hadith has been reported to this effect that sins fall off with the water, or with the last drop of water from the limbs. This is from the favor of Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He), and it indicates the virtue of this wudu' (ablution) which Allah (Mighty and Majestic) commanded us to perform. He commanded it for a great wisdom, which is that sins fall off with it for the one whose intention is sound and whose work is sincere for Allah (Mighty and Majestic). For this reason, this Ummah (Muslim community) will come on the Day of Resurrection with their faces and limbs marked by the traces of ablution. Yes.
