Musnad Ahmad 430 (Book 4, Hadith 28) #34102
The Power of Wudu and Prayer

SUMMARY: Doing wudu and praying can help one to be free of sin.

It was narrated that Humran bin Aban said: We were with 'Uthman bin 'Affan (رضي الله عنه), he called for water and did wudoo’. When he had finished his wudoo', he smiled and said: Do you know why I smiled? He said: The Messenger of Allah did wudoo' as I just did wudoo', then he smiled and said: "Do you know why I smiled?' we said: Allah and His Messenger know best. He said: "If a person does wudoo and completes his wudoo’, then he starts to pray and completes his prayer, he will come out of his prayer free of sin as he came out of his mother's womb".
حَدَّثَنَا إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ يُوسُفَ، حَدَّثَنَا عَوْفٌ الْأَعْرَابِيُّ، عَنْ مَعْبَدٍ الْجُهَنِيِّ، عَنْ حُمْرَانَ بْنِ أَبَانَ، قَالَ كُنَّا عِنْدَ عُثْمَانَ بْنِ عَفَّانَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ فَدَعَا بِمَاءٍ فَتَوَضَّأَ فَلَمَّا فَرَغَ مِنْ وُضُوئِهِ تَبَسَّمَ فَقَالَ هَلْ تَدْرُونَ مِمَّا ضَحِكْتُ قَالَ فَقَالَ تَوَضَّأَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ كَمَا تَوَضَّأْتُ ثُمَّ تَبَسَّمَ ثُمَّ قَالَ هَلْ تَدْرُونَ مِمَّ ضَحِكْتُ قَالَ قُلْنَا اللَّهُ وَرَسُولُهُ أَعْلَمُ قَالَ إِنَّ الْعَبْدَ إِذَا تَوَضَّأَ فَأَتَمَّ وُضُوءَهُ ثُمَّ دَخَلَ فِي صَلَاتِهِ فَأَتَمَّ صَلَاتَهُ خَرَجَ مِنْ صَلَاتِهِ كَمَا خَرَجَ مِنْ بَطْنِ أُمِّهِ مِنْ الذُّنُوبِ‏.‏

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about the power of wudu and prayer in freeing oneself from sin. It was narrated by Humran bin Aban that he was with Uthman bin Affan when he called for water to do wudu. After completing his ablution, Uthman smiled and asked why he smiled. He then explained that if a person does wudu properly and then prays with sincerity, they will come out of their prayer free from sin just as they came out from their mother's womb without any sins attached to them. This hadith teaches us the importance of performing our religious obligations such as wudu and prayer in order to stay away from sins and remain pure in front of Allah SWT. It also encourages us to repent for our sins so that we can be forgiven by Allah SWT for our wrongdoings.
