6433. Narrated Ibn Abān: رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ I brought water to 'Uthmān bin 'Affān to perform the ablution while he was sitting on his seat. He performed ablution in a perfect way and said, "I saw the Prophet ﷺ performing ablution in this place and he performed it in a perfect way and said, 'Whoever performs ablution as I have performed this time and then proceeds to the mosque and offers a two Rak'ā prayer and then sits there [waiting for the compulsory congregational Ṣalāt (prayers)], then all his past sins will be forgiven.” The Prophet ﷺ further added, “Do not be conceited [thinking that your sins will be forgiven because of your Ṣalāt (prayer)].”(1)
