(غَسْلُ أَعْضَاءِ الوُضُوءِ لَا يَزِيدُ عَلَى ثَلَاثِ مَرَّاتٍ)
(The Limbs of Wudu Should Not Be Washed More Than Three Times)
Hadith 417
وَعَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ شُعَيْبٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ جده قَالَ: جَاءَ أَعْرَابِيٌّ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَسْأَلُهُ عَنِ الْوُضُوءِ فَأَرَاهُ ثَلَاثًا ثَلَاثًا ثُمَّ قَالَ: «هَكَذَا الْوُضُوءُ فَمَنْ زَادَ عَلَى هَذَا فَقَدْ أَسَاءَ وَتَعَدَّى وَظَلَمَ» . رَوَاهُ النَّسَائِيُّ وَابْنُ مَاجَهْ وَرَوَى أَبُو دَاوُدَ مَعْنَاهُ
‘Amr b. Shu'aib, quoting his father on the authority of his grandfather, said that a nomadic Arab came to the Prophet and asked him about ablution. He demonstrated it, performing each detail three times and then said, “This is how ablution should be performed. If anyone does more than this, he has done wrong, transgressed, and done wickedly.” Nasa’i and Ibn Majah transmitted it, and Abu Dawud transmitted something to the same effect.
