He performed ablution, pouring water over his hands three times. Then he rinsed his mouth and cleared his nose, washed his face three times, washed his right arm up to the elbow three times, washed his left arm up to the elbow three times, wiped his head, washed his right foot three times, and then his left foot three times. He said: ‘I saw the Messenger of God perform ablution as I have just done.’ He then said: ‘Whoever performs ablution as I have done and prays two units without letting his thoughts wander during them will have his past sins forgiven.’ The wording is al-Bukhārī’s.
