The superiority of ablution. And Al-Ghurr-ul-Muhajjalun (the parts of the body of the Muslims washed in ablution will shine on the Day of Resurrection and the angels will call them by that name) from the traces of ablution.

Al-Ma'idah 5:6
English - Sahih International
O you who have believed, when you rise to [perform] prayer, wash your faces and your forearms to the elbows and wipe over your heads and wash your feet to the ankles. And if you are in a state of janabah, then purify yourselves. But if you are ill or on a journey or one of you comes from the place of relieving himself or you have contacted women and do not find water, then seek clean earth and wipe over your faces and hands with it. Allah does not intend to make difficulty for you, but He intends to purify you and complete His favor upon you that you may be grateful.
Narrated Nu'aim Al-Mujmir: Once I went up the roof of the mosque along with Abu Hurairah [radhi-yAllahu 'anhu]. He performed ablution and said, "I heard the Prophet (ﷺ) saying, 'On the Day of Resurrection, my followers will be called Al-Ghurr-ul-Muhajjalun from the traces of ablution and whoever can increase the area of his radiance* should do so (by performing ablution in the most perfect manner).' "
[Sahih Al-Bukhari, 1/136 (O.P.138)].
* The Prophet (ﷺ) did not increase the area more than what is washed of the body parts while doing ablution as Allah ordered to be washed in the Qur'an. [For details about Wudu (ablution), see Sahih Al-Bukhari, (The Book of Ablution)]
Strike your hands on the earth and then pass the palm of each on the back of the other and then blow off the dust from them and then pass (rub) them on your face: this is called Tayammum.
