"عن عبد خير، عن عَلِىٍّ: أَنَّهُ تَوَضَّأَ فَغَسَلَ يَدَيْهِ ثَلاثًا، وَمَضْمَضَ، وَاسْتَنْشَقَ ثَلاَثًا، وَغَسَلَ وَجْهَهُ ثَلاثًا، وَذِراَعَيْهِ ثَلاَثًا، وَمَسَحَ بِرَأسِهِ ثَلاَثًا، وَغَسَلَ رِجْلَيْهِ ثَلاَثًا، ثُمَّ قَالَ: مَنْ أَحَبَّ أنْ يَنْظُرَ إِلَى وُضُوءِ رَسُولِ الله ﷺ كَامِلًا فَليَنْظُرْ إِلَى هَذَا".
I saw 'Ali performing Wudu'. He washed his hands three times, and rinsed his mouth three times and his nose three times, and he washed his face three times and each forearm three times. Then he wiped his head and washed each foot three times. Then he said: 'This is the Wudu' of the Prophet ﷺ.'"

I was standing with ‘Uthman bin ʿAffan ؓ and he said: Shall I not tell you how the Messenger of Allah ﷺ did wudooʿ? We said: Yes indeed. He called for water and washed his face three times, rinsed his mouth and nose three times, then he washed his hands up to the elbow three times, then he wiped his head and his ears, and washed his feet three times. Then he said: This is how the Messenger of Allah ﷺ did wudooʿ.
أَلا أُنَبِّئُكُمْ كَيْفَ كَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ يَتَوَضَّأُ؟ قُلْنَا بَلَى فَدَعَا بِمَاءٍ فَغَسَلَ وَجْهَهُ ثَلاثًا وَمَضْمَضَ وَاسْتَنْشَقَ ثَلاثًا ثُمَّ غَسَلَ يَدَيْهِ إِلَى مِرْفَقَيْهِ ثَلاثًا ثُمَّ مَسَحَ بِرَأْسِهِ وَأُذُنَيْهِ وَغَسَلَ رِجْلَيْهِ ثَلاثًا ثُمَّ قَالَ هَكَذَا كَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ يَتَوَضَّأُ
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.
عَنْ وُضُوءِ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ؟ قَالَ رَأَيْتُ عُثْمَانَ وَهُوَ بِالْمَقَاعِدِ دَعَا بِوَضُوءٍ فَمَضْمَضَ ثَلَاثًا وَاسْتَنْشَقَ ثَلَاثًا وَغَسَلَ وَجْهَهُ ثَلَاثًا وَذِرَاعَيْهِ ثَلاثًا ثَلَاثًا وَمَسَحَ بِرَأْسِهِ ثَلَاثًا وَغَسَلَ قَدَمَيْهِ ثُمَّ قَالَ مَنْ أَحَبَّ أَنْ يَنْظُرَ إِلَى وُضُوءِ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَهَذَا وُضُوءُ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ
The ablution water was brought to the Messenger ﷺ and he performed ablution; he washed his hands up to wrists three times, then washed his forearms three times.
