[Machine] Abu Abdullah al-Hafiz reported to us in the book "Ikhtilaf al-Ahadith" by al-Shafi'i, may Allah exalt him. Abu al-Abbas Muhammad ibn Ya'qub narrated to us, I am al-Rabi ibn Sulayman, I am al-Shafi'i, I am Sufyan, from Hisham ibn Urwah, from his father, from Humran, the servant of Uthman ibn Affan, narrated that Uthman said that the Prophet ﷺ performed ablution three times each.  

أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو عَبْدِ اللهِ الْحَافِظُ فِي كِتَابِ اخْتِلَافِ الْأَحَادِيثِ لِلشَّافِعِيِّ رَحِمَهُ اللهُ تَعَالَى ثنا أَبُو الْعَبَّاسِ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَعْقُوبَ أنا الرَّبِيعُ بْنُ سُلَيْمَانَ أنا الشَّافِعِيُّ أنا سُفْيَانُ عَنْ هِشَامِ بْنِ عُرْوَةَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ حُمْرَانَ مَوْلَى عُثْمَانَ بْنَ عَفَّانَ ؓ عَنْ عُثْمَانَ أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ تَوَضَّأَ ثَلَاثًا ثَلَاثًا  

[Machine] "And he said: 'This is how I saw the Messenger of Allah ﷺ make ablution, then he said: I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ saying: There is no man who performs ablution and does it well, then he prays, except that Allah forgives him for his sins between that prayer and the next, until he prays it.'"  

وَقَالَ هَكَذَا رَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَتَوَضَّأُ ثُمَّ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ مَا مِنْ رَجُلٍ يَتَوَضَّأُ فَيُحْسِنُ الْوُضُوءَ ثُمَّ يُصَلِّي إِلَّا غَفَرَ اللهُ لَهُ مَا بَيْنَهُ وَبَيْنَ الصَّلَاةِ الْأُخْرَى حَتَّى يُصَلِّيَهَا  

[Machine] This is how I saw the Messenger of Allah ﷺ perform ablution, and then he said, "Whoever performs ablution without omitting any of my ablution, this is sufficient for him."  

هَكَذَا رَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ تَوَضَّأَ ثُمَّ قَالَ مَنْ تَوَضَّأَ دُونَ وُضُوئِي هَذَا كَفَاهُ  

I entered upon Ibn Darah, the freed slave of ʿUthman, and he heard me rinsing my mouth. He said: O Muhammad! I said: Here I am. He said:Shall I not tell you about the wudoo’ of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ? I saw ʿUthman when he was in al-Maqaʿid. He called for water for wudoo’, then he rinsed his mouth three times, rinsed his nose three times, washed his face three times, washed his arms three times, wiped his head three times and washed his feet, then he said: Whoever would like to see how the Messenger of Allah ﷺ did wudoo’, this is how the Messenger of Allah ﷺ did wudooʿ. (Using translation from Aḥmad 436)   

عَنْ وُضُوءِ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ؟ قُلْتُ بَلَى قَالَ رَأَيْتُ عُثْمَانَ بْنَ عَفَّانَ وَهُوَ بِالْمَقَاعِدِ فَدَعَا بِإِنَاءٍ فَمَضْمَضَ ثَلَاثًا وَاسْتَنْشَقَ ثَلَاثًا وَغَسَلَ وَجْهَهُ ثَلَاثًا وَغَسَلَ ذِرَاعَيْهِ ثَلَاثًا ثَلَاثًا وَمَسَحَ بِرَأْسِهِ ثَلَاثًا وَغَسَلَ قَدْمَيْهِ ثُمَّ قَالَ مَنْ أَحَبَّ أَنْ يَنْظُرَ إِلَى وُضُوءِ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَلْيَنْظُرْ إِلَى وُضُوئِي هَذَا وَقَدْ ذَكَرَ غَيْرُهُ التَّثْلِيثَ فِي الْقَدْمَيْنِ أَيْضًا  

[Machine] And he said, "I saw the Messenger of Allah ﷺ doing as you have seen me doing."  

وَقَالَ رَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ فَعَلَ كَمَا رَأَيْتُمُونِي فَعَلْتُ  

[Machine] He performed ablution, then washed his hands three times, each time pouring water over them, and rinsed his mouth three times. He washed his face three times and washed his hands up to the elbows three times. He wiped his head three times and washed his feet three times, pouring water over each foot. Then he said, "I saw the Messenger of Allah ﷺ perform ablution in this manner." This narration was also reported by 'Ata' ibn Abi Rabah from 'Uthman, who is a reliable narrator. It has been reported from other sources that 'Ali ibn Abi Talib also narrated this, but the narration that is confirmed is reported from him and others.  

أَنَّهُ تَوَضَّأَ فَغَسَلَ يَدَيْهِ ثَلَاثًا ثَلَاثًا كُلَّ وَاحِدَةٍ مِنْهُمَا وَاسْتَنْثَرَ ثَلَاثًا وَمَضْمَضَ ثَلَاثًا وَغَسَلَ وَجْهَهُ ثَلَاثًا وَغَسَلَ يَدَيْهِ إِلَى الْمِرْفَقَيْنِ ثَلَاثًا ثَلَاثًا وَمَسَحَ رَأْسَهُ ثَلَاثًا وَغَسَلَ رِجْلَيْهِ ثَلَاثًا ثَلَاثًا كُلَّ وَاحِدَةٍ مِنْهُمَا ثُمَّ قَالَ رَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَتَوَضَّأُ هَكَذَا وَرُوِيَ فِي ذَلِكَ عَنْ عَطَاءِ بْنِ أَبِي رَبَاحٍ عَنْ عُثْمَانَ وَهُوَ مُرْسَلٌ وَقَدْ رُوِيَ مِنْ أَوْجُهٍ غَرِيبَةٍ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ أَبِي طَالِبٍ ؓ وَالرِّوَايَةُ الْمَحْفُوظَةُ عَنْهُ غَيْرُهَا  

[Machine] This is how I saw the Messenger of Allah ﷺ do, and thus.  

هَكَذَا رَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ فَعَلَ وَهَكَذَا  

[Machine] He performed ablution, then washed his face three times, washed his hands three times, wiped his head three times, and washed his feet three times. He said, "This is how I saw the Messenger of Allah ﷺ perform ablution." Ibn Wahb said, "He also wiped his head three times." Hajjaj narrated from Ibn Juraij that he wiped his head once.  

أَنَّهُ تَوَضَّأَ فَغَسَلَ وَجْهَهُ ثَلَاثًا وَغَسَلَ يَدَيْهِ ثَلَاثًا وَمَسَحَ بِرَأْسِهِ ثَلَاثًا وَغَسَلَ رِجْلَيْهِ ثَلَاثًا وَقَالَ هَكَذَا رَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَتَوَضَّأُ هَكَذَا قَالَ ابْنُ وَهْبٍ وَمَسَحَ بِرَأْسِهِ ثَلَاثًا وَقَالَ فِيهِ حَجَّاجٌ عَنِ ابْنِ جُرَيْجٍ وَمَسَحَ بِرَأْسِهِ مَرَّةً  

[Machine] The Prophet ﷺ performed ablution, then washed his face three times, his hands twice, wiped his head twice, and washed his feet twice. Abu Abdur Rahman Al-Nasai narrated this in the book of Sunan from the hadith of Sufyan bin Uyaynah. This is the way to wipe the head twice, but Malik, Wahayb, Sulaiman bin Bilal, Khalid Al-Wasiti, and others contradicted him and reported that Amr bin Yahya said he wiped his head once, but he said that he approached and turned his head.  

أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ تَوَضَّأَ فَغَسَلَ وَجْهَهُ ثَلَاثًا وَيَدَيْهِ مَرَّتَيْنِ وَمَسَحَ بِرَأْسِهِ مَرَّتَيْنِ وَغَسَلَ رِجْلَيْهِ مَرَّتَيْنِ وَأَخْرَجَهُ أَبُو عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ النَّسَائِيُّ فِي كِتَابِ السُّنَنِ مِنْ حَدِيثِ سُفْيَانَ بْنِ عُيَيْنَةَ هَكَذَا فِي مَسْحِ الرَّأْسِ مَرَّتَيْنِ وَقَدْ خَالَفَهُ مَالِكٌ وَوُهَيْبٌ وَسُلَيْمَانُ بْنُ بِلَالٍ وَخَالِدٌ الْوَاسِطِيُّ وَغَيْرُهُمْ فَرَوَوْهُ عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ يَحْيَى فِي مَسْحِ الرَّأْسِ مَرَّةً إِلَّا أَنَّهُ قَالَ أَقْبَلَ وَأَدْبَرَ  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to come to us and say, "Pour water for me to perform ablution." So I poured water for him in a container, which was a large basin. He took a handful or a little more of water and poured it on his hand. Then he washed his hands three times and said, "Pour water on my hands." So I poured water on his hands, and he washed his hands three times. Then he said, "Put water on your face." I said, "O Messenger of Allah, I am looking at you." So the Messenger of Allah ﷺ performed ablution, and while I was watching him, he washed his face three times, rinsed his mouth, sniffed water into his nose, and blew it out once. Then he washed his right hand three times and his left hand three times. After that, he wiped his head twice, starting from the back of his head, then the front, then again the back, and finally the front. Then he wiped his ears, both the outer and inner parts. After that, he washed his right foot three times and his left foot three times. It was narrated by someone other than Bashr, who did not mention what he said. And Muhammad ibn al-Muthanna narrated from Ishaq ibn Yusuf al-Azraq, who narrated from Abu Al-Ala, who narrated from Qatadah, who narrated from Anas, that he used to wipe his head three times, taking fresh water for each one.  

كَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ يَأْتِينَا قَالَ فَحَدَّثَتْنَا أَنَّهُ قَالَ اسْكُبِي لِي وَضُوءًا فَسَكَبْتُ لَهُ فِي مَيْضَاةٍ وَهِيَ الرَّكْوَةُ فَأَخَذَ مُدًّا وَثُلُثًا أَوْ مُدًّا وَرُبُعًا فَقَالَ اسْكُبِي عَلَى يَدَيْ فَغَسَلَ كَفَّيْهِ ثَلَاثًا ثُمَّ قَالَ ضَعِي قَالَتْ فَتَوَضَّأَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ وَأَنَا أَنْظُرُ فَوَضَّأَ وَجْهَهُ ثَلَاثًا وَمَضْمَضَ وَاسْتَنْشَقَ مَرَّةً وَوَضَّأَ يَدَهُ الْيُمْنَى ثَلَاثًا وَوَضَّأَ يَدَهُ الْيُسْرَى ثَلَاثًا ثُمَّ مَسَحَ بِرَأْسِهِ مَرَّتَيْنِ يَبْدَأُ بِمُؤَخَّرِ رَأْسِهِ ثُمَّ بِمُقَدَّمِهِ ثُمَّ مُؤَخَّرِ رَأْسِهِ ثُمَّ مَقَدَّمِهِ ثُمَّ مَسَحَ بِأُذُنَيْهِ كِلْتَيْهِمَا ظَاهِرِهِمَا وَبَاطِنِهِمَا وَوَضَّأَ رِجْلَهُ الْيُمْنَى ثَلَاثًا وَوَضَّأَ رِجْلَهُ الْيُسْرَى ثَلَاثًا وَرَوَاهُ غَيْرُهُ عَنْ بِشْرٍ لَمْ يَذْكُرْ قَوْلَهُ ثُمَّ مُؤَخَّرِ رَأْسِهِ ثُمَّ مَقَدَّمِهِ وَرَوَى مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْمُثَنَّى عَنْ إِسْحَاقَ بْنِ يُوسُفَ الْأَزْرَقِ عَنْ أَبِي الْعَلَاءِ عَنْ قَتَادَةَ عَنْ أَنَسٍ أَنَّهُ كَانَ يَمْسَحُ عَلَى رَأْسِهِ ثَلَاثًا يَأْخُذُ لِكُلِّ وَاحِدَةٍ مَاءً جَدِيدًا  

[Machine] He said, so he took water and wiped his head and ears, then he washed his chest and back once, then he washed his feet. Then he said, "Where are the questioners about ablution? This is how I saw the Messenger of Allah ﷺ perform ablution."  

أَنْ قَالَ فَأَخَذَ مَاءً فَمَسَحَ بِرَأْسِهِ وَأُذُنَيْهِ فَغَسَلَ بُطُونَهُمَا وَظُهُورَهُمَا مَرَّةً وَاحِدَةً ثُمَّ غَسَلَ رِجْلَيْهِ ثُمَّ قَالَ أَيْنَ السَّائِلُونَ عَنِ الْوُضُوءِ؟ هَكَذَا رَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَتَوَضَّأُ  

"The Prophet wiped his head and his ears: the outside and the inside of them." ($ahih) (Using translation from Tirmidhī 36)   

أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ مَسَحَ أُذُنَيْهِ ظَاهِرَهُمَا وَبَاطِنَهُمَا  

[Machine] Anas performed ablution and we were with him. Then he started wiping the inside and outside of his ears, and he noticed the intensity of our gaze towards him. So he said, "Ibn Mas'ud used to instruct us to do this."  

تَوَضَّأَ أَنَسٌ وَنَحْنُ عِنْدَهُ فَجَعَلَ يَمْسَحُ بَاطِنَ أُذُنَيْهِ وَظَاهِرَهُمَا فَرَأَى شِدَّةَ نَظَرِنَا إِلَيْهِ فَقَالَ إِنَّ ابْنَ مَسْعُودٍ كَانَ يَأْمُرُنَا بِهَذَا  

[Machine] The son of the mother of Abdullah used to order us to do that.  

كَانَ ابْنُ أُمِّ عَبْدٍ يَأْمُرُنَا بِذَلِكَ
