Chapter 1 · Purification (Kitab Al-Taharah)حَدَّثَنَا هَارُونُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ آدَمَ، حَدَّثَنَا إِسْرَائِيلُ، عَنْ عَامِرِ بْنِ شَقِيقِ بْنِ جَمْرَةَ، عَنْ شَقِيقِ بْنِ سَلَمَةَ، قَالَ: رَأَيْتُ عُثْمَانَ بْنَ عَفَّانَ، غَسَلَ ذِرَاعَيْهِ ثَلَاثًا ثَلَاثًا وَمَسَحَ رَأْسَهُ ثَلَاثًا، ثُمَّ قَالَ: رَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَعَلَ هَذَا ، قَالَ أَبُو دَاوُد: رَوَاهُ وَكِيعٌ، عَنْ إِسْرَائِيلَ، قَالَ: تَوَضَّأَ ثَلَاثًا فَقَطْ.

I saw Uthman bin Affan رضی اللہ عنہ (perform ablution). He washed his forearms three times and washed his head thrice. He then said: I saw the Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم doing like that. Abu Dawud said: Another version says: He performed ablution three times only.
