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

" عن رجلٍ من الأنصارِ أن عثمانَ قالَ: ألا أُرِيكُمْ كيفَ كانَ وضوءُ رسولِ الله ﷺ ؟ قَالوا: بَلَى، فدعَا بماءٍ فمضمضَ ثلاثًا، واستنشقَ ثلاثًا، وغَسَلَ وجهَهُ ثلاثًا، وذِرَاعَيْهِ ثلاثًا ثلاثًا، ومسحَ برأسِهِ، وغسلَ قَدَمَيْهِ ثم قالَ: واعْلمُوا أن الأُذُنَيْنِ مِنَ الرأسِ، ثم قالَ: تحرَّيْتُ -أَوْ تَوَخَّيْتُ- لَكُمْ وضوءَ رسولِ الله ﷺ ".
