Bismillah
as salam alykom Dan
Here is a response to my dear son's request::
<b>أعوذ بالله السميع العليم من الشيطان الرجيم
</b>
off to the next golden opportunity, you will like this one too very much...
Bismillah
<b>Narrated Umar Ibnel khattab that the Messenger salla Allah a`lyhee wa sallam said: one who performs ablution and perfects it then say: Ash hadu anna la ilaha ila Allah wahdahu la shareeka lahu wanna Mohamadan a`bdahu wa rasuluh Allahuma eja`lni minatawabeen waja`lni minal mutathereen, eight gates of jannah shall be opened and he can enter from whichever he desires (reported by Sunan Termidhi)

Sobhan Allah, what a major, reward in return for just 3 minutes. Is it only major? I think it is mega. I think I m unable to describe it. Can you realize this brothers and sisters? If we are able to institute this supplication into our ablution routine, surely we are the winners.
Now the question is how to attain this reward. Let us start together analyzing the hadeeth to derive the prerequisites.
1. Make wodu taking in consideration to perfect it. Pay good attention while making wodu , bear in mind that u r preparing to meet Allah, give due time and concern to every step you are making.
2. Say the supplication.
Sobhan Allah, how Generous Allah Is. Only 2 prerequisites to attain this incomparable reward. Only 3 minutes or max 5 minutes to secure this advantage. Mind you , you can actually invest it by securing this reward at least 5 times a day, leave alone if u renew your wodu every time u break it, just imagine. The best part is that Allah didn’t require that a salat must be associated with this wodu in order for one to obtain the reward. This is just for making wodu. But not any wodu, but rather a perfect one followed by the dua.
Note: Just in case dear Abu Levi wants the dua in Arabic letters:
<b>أشهد أن الا إله إلا الله وحده لا شريك له وأشهد أن محمداً عبده ورسوله اللهم اجعلنى من التوابين واجعلنى من المتطهرين
</b>
Allah u Akbar
