ʿAbd Allāh al-Ṣunābiḥī reported that the Messenger of God said: ‘When a believing servant performs ablution and rinses his mouth, sins leave his mouth. When he clears his nose, sins leave his nose. When he washes his face, sins leave his face until they emerge from beneath his eyelashes. When he washes his hands, sins leave them until they emerge from beneath his fingernails. When he wipes his head, sins leave his head until they emerge from his ears. When he washes his feet, sins leave them until they emerge from beneath his toenails. Then his walk to the mosque and his prayer are an additional act of devotion for him.’ Mālik and al-Nasāʾī transmitted it.
