How Uthman performed ablution

ahmad:428Muḥammad b. Bakr > Ibn Jurayj > Ibn Shihāb > ʿAṭāʾ b. Yazīd al-Jundaʿī > Ḥumrān mawlā ʿUthmān b. ʿAffān

[AI] I saw the Commander of the Believers, Uthman, performing ablution. He poured water over his hands three times, then expelled water from his nose three times, rinsed his mouth three times, and he mentioned the hadith with a meaning similar to the hadith of Mamar.

أحمد:٤٢٨حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَكْرٍ أَخْبَرَنَا ابْنُ جُرَيْجٍ حَدَّثَنِي ابْنُ شِهَابٍ عَنْ عَطَاءِ بْنِ يَزِيدَ الْجُنْدَعِيِّ أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ حُمْرَانَ مَوْلَى عُثْمَانَ بْنِ عَفَّانَ قَالَ

رَأَيْتُ أَمِيرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ عُثْمَانَ يَتَوَضَّأُ، فَأَهْرَاقَ عَلَى يَدَيْهِ ثَلَاثَ مِرَارٍ، ثُمَّ اسْتَنْثَرَ ثَلاثًا، وَمَضْمَضَ ثَلاثًا، وَذَكَرَ الْحَدِيثَ مِثْلَ مَعْنَى حَدِيثِ مَعْمَرٍ.
