Whoever purifies himself for ablution

Abu Huraira reported: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said, “Whoever purifies himself for ablution in his house and he walks to a house among the houses of Allah in order to fulfill an obligation among the obligations of Allah, then one step of his will expiate his sins and another step will elevate his status.”

The adornment of a believer

Abu Hazim reported: I was standing behind Abu Huraira and he was performing ablution for prayer. He extended washing his hands up into his armpit. I said to him, “O Abu Huraira, what is this ablution?” He said, “O tribe of Farukh, you are here and had I known you were here, I would not have performed ablution like this, but I heard my dear friend, peace and blessings be upon him, say: The adornment of a believer will reach wherever his ablution reaches.
