حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ بْنُ حُمَيْدٍ وَحَجَّاجُ بْنُ الشَّاعِرِ کِلَاهُمَا عَنْ أَبِي الْوَلِيدِ قَالَ عَبْدٌ حَدَّثَنِي أَبُو الْوَلِيدِ حَدَّثَنَا إِسْحَقُ بْنُ سَعِيدِ بْنِ عَمْرِو بْنِ سَعِيدِ بْنِ الْعَاصِ حَدَّثَنِي أَبِي عَنْ أَبِيهِ قَالَ کُنْتُ عِنْدَ عُثْمَانَ فَدَعَا بِطَهُورٍ فَقَالَ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ مَا مِنْ امْرِئٍ مُسْلِمٍ تَحْضُرُهُ صَلَاةٌ مَکْتُوبَةٌ فَيُحْسِنُ وُضُوئَهَا وَخُشُوعَهَا وَرُکُوعَهَا إِلَّا کَانَتْ کَفَّارَةً لِمَا قَبْلَهَا مِنْ الذُّنُوبِ مَا لَمْ يُؤْتِ کَبِيرَةً وَذَلِکَ الدَّهْرَ کُلَّهُ
صحیح مسلم · Hadith 543
Humran reported when 'Uthman performed ablution he said: By Allah, I am narrating to you a hadith had there not been this verse in the Book of Allah. I would not have narrated it to you. Verily I heard the Messenger of Allah ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) say: Not a person is there who performed ablution, and did it well, then offered prayer, but his sins (which he committed) were not pardoned between the prayer that he offered and the next one. 'Urwa said: The verse is this: Those who suppress the clear proofs and the guidance which We have sent down ... to His words: the Cursers (ii. 15).
