Sunan Abu Dawud 110 — The Manner of The Prophet’s Wudu’
حَدَّثَنَا هَارُونُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ، حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ آدَمَ ، حَدَّثَنَا إِسْرَائِيلُ ، عَنْ عَامِرِ بْنِ شَقِيقِ بْنِ جَمْرَةَ ، عَنْ شَقِيقِ بْنِ سَلَمَةَ ، قَالَ : رَأَيْتُ عُثْمَانَ بْنَ عَفَّانَ ، " غَسَلَ ذِرَاعَيْهِ ثَلَاثًا ثَلَاثًا وَمَسَحَ رَأْسَهُ ثَلَاثًا ، ثُمَّ قَالَ : رَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَعَلَ هَذَا " ، قَالَ أَبُو دَاوُد : رَوَاهُ وَكِيعٌ ، عَنْ إِسْرَائِيلَ ، قَالَ : تَوَضَّأَ ثَلَاثًا فَقَطْ .
Shaqiq bin Salamah said: I saw Uthman bin Affan (perform ablution). He washed his forearms three times and washed his head thrice. He then said: I saw the Messenger of Allah ﷺ doing like that. Abu Dawud said: Another version says: "He performed ablution three times only. "

Benefits and Issues:
The practice of the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam regarding wiping (masah) is once, as is established from most ahadith. It is possible that on some occasions he may have done it three times, or that when mentioning three times in general, the narrator may have included the head as well.
