Sunan Ibn Majah 459 (Book 1, Hadith 193) #29811
Perfect Ablution and Expiation of Sins

SUMMARY: The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) taught that performing ablution perfectly will serve as expiation for sins.

It was narrated that Jami' bin Shaddad - AbuSakhrah - said: "I heard Humran telling Abu Burdah in the mosque that he had heard 'Uthman bin 'Affan narrating that the Prophet had said" 'Whoever performs ablution perfectly as Allah has enjoined, then his prescribed prayer will serve as expiation for what is between them".
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَشَّارٍ، حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ، حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، عَنْ جَامِعِ بْنِ شَدَّادٍ أَبِي صَخْرَةَ، قَالَ سَمِعْتُ حُمْرَانَ، يُحَدِّثُ أَبَا بُرْدَةَ فِي الْمَسْجِدِ أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ عُثْمَانَ بْنَ عَفَّانَ، يُحَدِّثُ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ـ ـ قَالَ ‏ "‏ مَنْ أَتَمَّ الْوُضُوءَ كَمَا أَمَرَهُ اللَّهُ فَالصَّلَوَاتُ الْمَكْتُوبَاتُ كَفَّارَاتٌ لِمَا بَيْنَهُنَّ

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith teaches us the importance of performing ablution perfectly before prayer. It is narrated by Jami' bin Shaddad, who heard it from Abu Sakhrah, who heard it from Humran, who heard it from Abu Burdah, who heard it from Uthman bin Affan. Uthman bin Affan was a companion of the Prophet Muhammad and he reported that the Prophet said “Whoever performs ablution perfectly as Allah has enjoined, then his prescribed prayer will serve as expiation for what is between them”. This means that if someone performs their ablutions correctly according to Islamic teachings and then prays their prescribed prayers with sincerity and devotion, this can be seen as an act of repentance for any sins they have committed in between prayers. Therefore this hadith encourages us to perform our ablutions properly before every prayer so we can be forgiven for our sins.
