Today's hadith · purity

Sahih al-Bukhari 159, Sahih Muslim 226

Wudu like his, then two rak'ahs

مَنْ تَوَضَّأَ نَحْوَ وُضُوئِي هَذَا، ثُمَّ صَلَّى رَكْعَتَيْنِ، لَا يُحَدِّثُ فِيهِمَا نَفْسَهُ، غُفِرَ لَهُ مَا تَقَدَّمَ مِنْ ذَنْبِهِ

Man tawadda'a nahwa wudu'i hadha, thumma salla rak'atayn, la yuhaddithu fihima nafsah, ghufira lahu ma taqaddama min dhanbih.

Whoever performs wudu like this wudu of mine, then prays two rak'ahs in which he does not let his thoughts wander, his past sins will be forgiven.
