حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ الْمِصْرِيُّ ، نا يَحْيَى بْنُ عُثْمَانَ بْنِ صَالِحٍ ، نا إِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ مَسْلَمَةَ بْنِ قَعْنَبٍ ، نا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ عَرَادَةَ الشَّيْبَانِيُّ ، عَنْ زَيْدِ بْنِ الْحَوَارِيِّ ، عَنْ مُعَاوِيَةَ بْنِ قُرَّةَ ، عَنْ عُبَيْدِ بْنِ عُمَيْرٍ ، عَنْ أُبَيِّ بْنِ كَعْبٍ ، أَنّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ دَعَا بِمَاءٍ فَتَوَضَّأَ مَرَّةً مَرَّةً ، وَقَالَ : " هَذَا وَظِيفَةُ الْوُضُوءِ ، وَوُضُوءُ مَنْ لَمْ يَتَوَضَّأْ لَمْ تُقْبَلْ لَهُ صَلاةٌ " ، ثُمَّ تَوَضَّأَ مَرَّتَيْنِ مَرَّتَيْنِ ، فَقَالَ : " هَذَا وُضُوءُ مَنْ تَوَضَّأَهُ أَعْطَاهُ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ كِفْلَيْنِ مِنَ الأَجْرِ " ، ثُمَّ تَوَضَّأَ ثَلاثًا ثَلاثًا ، ثُمَّ قَالَ : " هَذَا وُضُوئِي وَوُضُوءُ الْمُرْسَلِينَ قَبْلِي " .
Sayyiduna Ubayy bin Ka'b (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) asked for water and performed ablution once for each limb, then said: "This is the way of ablution; whoever does not perform ablution in this manner, his prayer is not accepted." Then he performed ablution twice for each limb and said: "This is the way of the person who performs ablution in this manner; Allah Almighty will grant him double the reward." Then he performed ablution three times for each limb and said: "This is my way and the way of the Prophets who came before me."
