81. Commentary: Imam Bukhari rahimahullah states: Washing each limb of ablution (wudu) once is obligatory (fard), and washing them twice or thrice is Sunnah. See: [صحیح البخاري ، الوضوء ، قبل حدیث : 135]
Like other hadith scholars, Imam Bukhari rahimahullah has also established chapters on this subject. Refer to: [صحیح البخاري ، الوضوء ، حدیث : 157- 159]
It is mentioned in the hadith that whoever washes more than three times exceeds and deviates from the Sunnah and commits injustice against himself. See: [سنن النسائي ، الطھارة ، حدیث : 140 ، و سنن أبي داود ، الطھارة ، حدیث : 135]

This narration is weak in its chain of transmission; however, the issues mentioned within it are established by other authentic ahadith.

Ahadith regarding performing ablution (wudu) once and three times each have already been mentioned previously, and the above-mentioned supplication after ablution will appear ahead in Hadith: 470.
This supplication is also narrated in Sahih Muslim. See: (Sahih Muslim, Book of Purification, Chapter: The Recommended Remembrance After Ablution, Hadith: 234)
