Sahih al-Bukhari 164 (Book 4, Hadith 30)
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. ‘
“ مَنْ تَوَضَّأَ نَحْوَ وُضُوئِي هَذَا ثُمَّ صَلَّى رَكْعَتَيْنِ، لاَ يُحَدِّثُ فِيهِمَا نَفْسَهُ، غَفَرَ اللَّهُ لَهُ مَا تَقَدَّمَ مِنْ ذَنْبِهِ ”.
