Musnad Ahmad 415 (Book 4, Hadith 16) #34090
The Power of Wudoo

SUMMARY: Wudoo is a ritual of purification and it has the power to remove sins if done properly.

It was narrated from Aban from 'Uthman (رضي الله عنه) that he called for water and did wudoo': he rinsed his mouth and nose, then he washed his face three times, his arms three times each, and wiped his head and the tops of his feet, then he smiled and said to his companions: Aren't you going to ask me what made me smile? They said: What made you smile, O Ameer al-Mu'mineen? He said: I saw the Messenger of Allah call for water near this spot, then he did wudoo’ as I have done it, then he smiled and said: 'Aren't you going to ask me what made me smile?' They said: What made you smile, O Messenger of Allah ? He said: "If a person calls for (water for) wudoo’, then he washes his face, Allah will remove from him every sin that he committed with his face; when he washes his arms, the same applies; when he wipes his head, the same applies; when he purifies his feet, the same applies".
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ، حَدَّثَنَا سَعِيدٌ، عَنْ قَتَادَةَ، عَنْ مُسْلِمِ بْنِ يَسَارٍ، عَنْ حُمْرَانَ بْنِ أَبَانَ، عَنْ عُثْمَانَ بْنِ عَفَّانَ، رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ أَنَّهُ دَعَا بِمَاءٍ فَتَوَضَّأَ وَمَضْمَضَ وَاسْتَنْشَقَ ثُمَّ غَسَلَ وَجْهَهُ ثَلَاثًا وَذِرَاعَيْهِ ثَلَاثًا ثَلَاثًا وَمَسَحَ بِرَأْسِهِ وَظَهْرِ قَدَمَيْهِ ثُمَّ ضَحِكَ فَقَالَ لِأَصْحَابِهِ أَلَا تَسْأَلُونِي عَمَّا أَضْحَكَنِي فَقَالُوا مِمَّ ضَحِكْتَ يَا أَمِيرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ قَالَ رَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ دَعَا بِمَاءٍ قَرِيبًا مِنْ هَذِهِ الْبُقْعَةِ فَتَوَضَّأَ كَمَا تَوَضَّأْتُ ثُمَّ ضَحِكَ فَقَالَ أَلَا تَسْأَلُونِي مَا أَضْحَكَنِي فَقَالُوا مَا أَضْحَكَكَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ فَقَالَ إِنَّ الْعَبْدَ إِذَا دَعَا بِوَضُوءٍ فَغَسَلَ وَجْهَهُ حَطَّ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ كُلَّ خَطِيئَةٍ أَصَابَهَا بِوَجْهِهِ فَإِذَا غَسَلَ ذِرَاعَيْهِ كَانَ كَذَلِكَ وَإِنْ مَسَحَ بِرَأْسِهِ كَانَ كَذَلِكَ وَإِذَا طَهَّرَ قَدَمَيْهِ كَانَ كَذَلِكَ‏.‏

EXPLANATIONS:
Wudoo is an Islamic ritual that involves washing certain parts of the body in a specific order. It is performed before prayer, but it also has spiritual significance as it can help to cleanse one's soul from sin. This hadith tells us that if we perform wudoo correctly, Allah will forgive us for any sins we have committed with our face, arms, head or feet. This means that even though we may have done something wrong in the past, if we sincerely repent and perform wudoo properly then Allah will forgive us and give us a chance to start anew. This hadith teaches us about the power of repentance and how important it is to take responsibility for our actions by seeking forgiveness through proper worship practices such as wudoo.
