The reciter: 'Abd al-'Aziz ibn 'Abd Allah al-Awasi narrated to us, saying: Ibrahim ibn Sa'd narrated to me from Ibn Shihab that 'Ata ibn Yazid informed him: that Hamran, the freed slave of 'Uthman, informed him:
That he saw 'Uthman ibn 'Affan call for a vessel, then poured water over his hands three times and washed them. Then he put his right hand into the vessel, rinsed his mouth, and inhaled water into his nose. Then he washed his face three times, and his hands to the elbows three times. Then he wiped over his head. Then he washed his feet three times to the ankles. Then he said: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Whoever performs ablution like my ablution, then prays two rak'ahs without speaking to himself in them, his previous sins will be forgiven."
أنه رأى عثمان بن عفان دعا بإناء فأفرغ على كفيه ثلاث مرار فغسلهما ثم أدخل يمينه في الإناء فمضمض واستنشق ثم غسل وجهه ثلاثا ويديه إلى المرفقين ثلاث مرار ثم مسح برأسه ثم غسل ردليه ثلاث مرار إلى الكعبين ثم قال : قال رسول الله صلّى الله عليه وسلم : من توضأ نحو وضوئي هذا ثم صلى ركعتين لا يحدث فيهما نفسه غفر له ما تقدم من ذنبه
