أَخْبَرَنَا الْحُسَيْنُ بْنُ إِدْرِيسَ الْأَنْصَارِيُّ أَخْبَرَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ أَبِي بَكْرٍ عَنْ مَالِكٍ عَنْ هِشَامِ بْنِ عُرْوَةَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ حُمْرَانَ
أَنَّ عُثْمَانَ بْنَ عَفَّانَ جَلَسَ عَلَى الْمَقَاعِدِ فَجَاءَهُ الْمُؤَذِّنُ فَآذَنَهُ بِصَلَاةِ الْعَصْرِ فَدَعَا بِمَاءٍ فَتَوَضَّأَ ثُمَّ قَالَ لَأُحَدِّثَنَّكُمْ حَدِيثًا لَوْلَا آيَةٌ فِي كِتَابِ اللَّهِ لَمَّا حَدَّثْتُكُمُوهُ ثُمَّ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ «مَا مِنِ امْرِئٍ يَتَوَضَّأُ فَيُحْسِنُ الْوُضُوءَ ثُمَّ يُصَلِّي الصَّلَاةَ إِلَّا غُفِرَ لَهُ مَا بَيْنَهُ وَبَيْنَ الصَّلَاةِ الْأُخْرَى حَتَّى يُصَلِّيَهَا»

✧ Uthman b. Affan sat on the benches, and the muezzin came and announced the afternoon prayer. He called for water and performed ablution, then said: I will narrate to you a hadith that, were it not for a verse in the Book of Allah, I would not have narrated to you. Then he said: I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say: There is no person who performs ablution and perfects it, then prays a prayer, except that he is forgiven for what is between it and the next prayer until he prays it.
