[Machine] Someone narrated to me that they saw the Prophet ﷺ performing ablution, then reciting a portion of the Quran and saying, "Read a verse from the Quran before touching water."  

أحمد:١٨٠٧٤حَدَّثَنَا هُشَيْمٌ أَخْبَرَنَا دَاوُدُ بْنُ عَمْرٍو قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو سَلَّامٍ قَالَ

حَدَّثَنِي مَنْ رَأَى النَّبِيَّ ﷺ بَالَ ثُمَّ تَلَا شَيْئًا مِنَ القُرْآنِ وَقَالَ هُشَيْمٌ مَرَّةً آيًا مِنَ القُرْآنِ قَبْلَ أَنْ يَمَسَّ مَاءً
