Uthman narrated that he performed ablution by pouring water over his hands three times, then rinsing his mouth and nose, then washing his face three times. He washed his right hand up to the elbow three times, then his left hand up to the elbow three times. He wiped his head and washed his right foot three times, then his left foot three times. Then he said, "I saw the Messenger of Allah ﷺ perform ablution similar to mine." He then said, "Whoever performs ablution like mine and then prays two rak’ahs without allowing his thoughts to distract him during them, his previous sins will be forgiven."
