It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Umamah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him and his family) performed ablution, and he (peace and blessings be upon him and his family) washed his hands three times, rinsed his mouth three times, and put water into his nose three times. In this way, he (peace and blessings be upon him and his family) performed the entire ablution three times each.
