From Abu Alqama, from Uthman ibn Affan: One day, Uthman called for water for wudu, then invited some of the companions of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. He poured water from his right hand over his left hand and washed them three times. He then rinsed his mouth three times, inhaled water through his nose three times, washed his face three times, washed his hands three times up to the elbows, wiped his head, and washed his feet thoroughly. Then he said: "I saw the Messenger of Allah ﷺ perform wudu like this wudu you saw me perform." He then said: "Whoever performs wudu and does it well, then prays two rak'ahs, his sins will be forgiven, as if he was born anew from his mother." He then asked: "Is this the same, O so-and-so?" The reply was, "Yes." He asked again: "Is this the same, O so-and-so?" The reply was, "Yes," until he had confirmed with several companions of the Messenger of Allah. Then he said: "Praise be to Allah who made you agree with me on this."
