282. It was narrated from 'Abdullâh As-Sunâbihi that the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ said: "Whoever performs ablution and rinses his mouth and nose, his sins will exit through his mouth and nose. When he washes his face, his sins will exit from his face, even from beneath his eyelids. When he washes his hands, his sins will exit from his hands. When he wipes his head, his sins will exit from his head, and even from his ears. When he washes his feet, his sins will exit from his feet, even from beneath his toenails. Then his prayer and his walking towards the mosque will earn extra merit for him." (Sahih)

Commentary
a. The exiting of the sins means the forgiving of sins by Allâh.
b. Sins forgiven through ablution are generally the minor sins. Major sins are forgiven through sincere repentance, or else Allâh in His infinite mercy may pardon them. However, in case the sins had a bearing on the rights of others, their forgiveness depends upon remedying those grievances, or on being pardoned by the aggrieved party or parties.
