حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَشَّارٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ ، عَنْ حَبِيبٍ الْأَنْصَارِيِّ ، قَالَ : سَمِعْتُ عَبَّادَ بْنَ تَمِيمٍ ، عَنْ جَدَّتِهِ وَهِيَ أُمُّ عُمَارَةَ ، " أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ تَوَضَّأَ فَأُتِيَ بِإِنَاءٍ فِيهِ مَاءٌ قَدْرُ ثُلُثَيِ الْمُدِّ " .
Narrated Umm Umarah: Habib al-Ansari reported: I heard Abbad ibn Tamim who reported on the authority of my grandmother, Umm Umarah, saying: The Prophet ﷺ wanted to perform ablution. A vessel containing 2/3 mudd of water was brought to him.

74. Commentary: In the first narration, the mention was of performing ablution (wudu) with one mudd of water. In this narration, there is mention of performing ablution with even less than one mudd of water, from which it is understood that this quantity will also vary according to different individuals and circumstances. There is no fixed limit prescribed in this regard, as is established from the practice of the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam: sometimes he would use less water and sometimes more. However, it is necessary to avoid extravagance.
