It was narrated from Anas bin Malik that the Prophet said: "Whoever performs ablution and does it well, then says three times: 'Ashhadu an Id ildha illalldh wahdahu la sharika lah u, wa ashhadu anna Muhammadan 'ub d uh u wa rasuluhu (I bear witness that none has the right to be worshipped but Allah alone, with no partner, and I bear witness that Muhammad is His slave and His Messenger),' eight gates of Paradise will be opened for him; whichever one he wants he may enter."
