أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو طَاهِرٍ الْفَقِيهُ، أنا أَبُو عُثْمَانَ الْبَصْرِيُّ، وَالْعَبَّاسُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ الْقُوهْيَارِيُّ، قَالَا: نا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْوَهَّابِ، ثنا يَعْلَى بْنُ عُبَيْدٍ، ثنا سُفْيَانُ، عَنْ مُوسَى بْنِ أَبِي عَائِشَةَ، عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ شُعَيْبٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ جَدِّهِ، قَالَ: جَاءَ أَعْرَابِيٌّ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَسَأَلَهُ عَنِ الْوُضُوءِ، فَأَرَاهُ ثَلَاثًا ثَلَاثًا، ثُمَّ قَالَ: " هَذَا الْوُضُوءُ، فَمَنْ زَادَ عَلَى هَذَا فَقَدْ أَسَاءَ أَوْ تَعَدَّى وَظَلَمَ ". وَكَذَلِكَ رَوَاهُ الْأَشْجَعِيُّ، عَنِ الثَّوْرِيِّ مَوْصُولًا.
Amr bin Shu'ayb narrates from his grandfather (may Allah be pleased with him) that a Bedouin came to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and asked him about ablution. He (peace and blessings be upon him) showed him, washing each part three times, then he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "This is (the method of) ablution. Whoever does more than this has done wrong, or has transgressed and done injustice."
(b) It is narrated from Imam al-Thawri in a connected (mawsul) form. [Hasan. Recorded by al-Tabarani in al-Kabir: 174]

وَأَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو عَلِيٍّ الرُّوذْبَارِيُّ، أنا أَبُو بَكْرٍ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَكْرٍ، ثنا أَبُو دَاوُدَ، ثنا مُسَدَّدٌ، ثنا أَبُو عَوَانَةَ، عَنْ مُوسَى بْنِ أَبِي عَائِشَةَ، عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ شُعَيْبٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ جَدِّهِ، أَنَّ رَجُلًا أَتَى النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقَالَ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، كَيْفَ الطُّهُورُ؟ فَدَعَا بِمَاءٍ فِي إِنَاءٍ، فَغَسَلَ كَفَّيْهِ ثَلَاثًا، ثُمَّ غَسَلَ وَجْهَهُ ثَلَاثًا، ثُمَّ غَسَلَ ذِرَاعَيْهِ ثَلَاثًا، ثُمَّ مَسَحَ بِرَأْسِهِ فَأَدْخَلَ أُصْبُعَيْهِ السَّبَّاحَتَيْنِ فِي أُذُنَيْهِ، وَمَسَحَ بِإِبْهَامَيْهِ عَلَى ظَاهِرِ أُذُنَيْهِ، وَبِالسَّبَّاحَتَيْنِ بَاطِنَ أُذُنَيْهِ، ثُمَّ غَسَلَ رِجْلَيْهِ ثَلَاثًا ثَلَاثًا، ثُمَّ قَالَ: " هَكَذَا الْوُضُوءُ، فَمَنْ زَادَ عَلَى هَذَا أَوْ نَقَصَ فَقَدْ أَسَاءَ وَظَلَمَ أَوْ ظَلَمَ وَأَسَاءَ ". قَوْلُهُ نَقَصَ يَحْتَمِلُ أَنْ يُرِيدَ بِهِ نُقْصَانَ الْعُضْوِ، وَقَوْلُهُ ظَلَمَ يَعْنِي جَاوَزَ الْحَدَّ. وَاللهُ أَعْلَمُ.
Amr bin Shu'ayb narrates from his grandfather (may Allah be pleased with him) that a man came to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and said: O Messenger of Allah, how is ablution done? He (peace and blessings be upon him) called for a vessel of water. He washed his palms three times, then washed his face three times, then washed his forearms three times, then wiped his head: he put his two index fingers into his ears, wiped the outer part of his ears with his thumbs and the inner part of his ears with his index fingers. Then he washed his feet three times each, then said: "This is how ablution is done. Whoever does more than this or less has done wrong and done injustice," or he said: "has done injustice and done wrong."
(b) "Does less" possibly means leaving out part of a limb, and "done injustice" means overstepping the limit set by Allah Almighty. And Allah knows best.
