{{Quote|{{Bukhari|1|4|161}}| Narrated Humran:
(the slave of 'Uthman) I saw 'Uthman bin 'Affan asking for a tumbler of water (and when it was brought) he poured water over his hands and washed them thrice and then put his right hand in the water container and rinsed his mouth, washed his nose by putting water in it and then blowing it out. then he washed his face and forearrlns up to the elbows thrice, passed his wet hands over his head and washed his feet up to the ankles thrice. Then he said, "Allah's Apostle said 'If anyone Performs ablution like that of mine and offers a two-rak'at prayer during which he does not think of anything else (not related to the present prayer) then his past sins will be forgiven.' " After performing the ablution 'Uthman said, "I am going to tell you a Hadith which I would not have told you, had I not been compelled by a certain Holy Verse (the sub narrator 'Urwa said: This verse is: "Verily, those who conceal the clear signs and the guidance which we have sent down...)" (2:159). I heard the Prophet saying, 'If a man performs ablution perfectly and then offers the compulsory congregational prayer, Allah will forgive his sins committed between that (prayer) and the (next) prayer till he offers it. }}

===Do those with faith as small as a mustard seed ever enter the fire?===
Both hadiths use the same Arabic phrase "faith the weight of a mustard seed" (مِثْقَالُ حَبَّةِ خَرْدَلٍ مِنْ إِيمَانٍ).
Yes
{{Quote|{{Bukhari|8|76|565}}|Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said, "When the people of Paradise have entered Paradise, and the people of the Fire have entered the Fire, Allah will say. 'Take out (of the Fire) whoever has got faith equal to a mustard seed in his heart.' They will come out, and by that time they would have burnt and became like coal, and then they will be thrown into the river of Al-Hayyat (life) and they will spring up just as a seed grows on the bank of a rainwater stream." The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Don't you see that the germinating seed comes out yellow and twisted?"}}
No
{{Quote|{{Muslim|1|165}}| It is narrated on the authority of 'Abdullah b. Mas'ud that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) observed:
None shall enter the Fire (of Hell) who has in his heart the weight of a mustard seed of Iman and none shall enter Paradise who has in his heart the weight of a mustard seed of pride.}}

===Who was Dajjal?===
A beast
{{Quote|{{Muslim|41|7028}}|
There was a beast with long thick hair (and because of these) they could not distinguish his face from his back}}
'''- The beast in this story was NOT the Dajjal. Read the story and you will see there was a "beast" and then there was the Dajjal who was chained up.'''
A boy
{{Quote|{{Bukhari|9|92|453}}| Narrated Muhammad bin Al-Munkadir:
I saw Jabir bin 'Abdullah swearing by Allah that Ibn Sayyad was the Dajjal}}
'''- This is simply a claim by someone.. "I swear he is the Dajjal!". No significance what so ever.
