Ati reported that he saw Uthman bin Affan call for water for ablution. He poured water from the vessel over his hands and washed them three times. Then he dipped his right hand into the water, rinsed his mouth, drew water into his nose, and blew it out. He then washed his face three times, washed his arms up to the elbows three times, wiped his head, and washed each foot three times.Afterwards he said, "I saw the Prophet ﷺ perform ablution just as I have performed mine, and he said, 'Whoever performs ablution as I have done, then prays two units of prayer without letting his mind wander during them, Allah will forgive him his past sins.'"
حدثنا أبو اليمان قال أخبرنا شعيب عن الزهري قال أخبرني عطاء بن يزيد
أنه رأى عثمان بن عفان دعا بوضوء فأفرغ على يديه من إنائه فغسلهما ثلاث مرات ثم أدخل يمينه في الوضوء ثم تمضمض واستنشق واستنثر ثم غسل وجهه ثلاثا ويديه إلى المرفقين ثلاثا ثم مسح برأسه ثم غسل كل رجل ثلاثا ثم قال رأيت النبي ﷺ يتوضأ نحو وضوئي هذا وقال من توضأ نحو وضوئي هذا ثم صلى ركعتين لا يحدث فيهما نفسه غفر الله له ما تقدم من ذنبه
