Hadith 46
The Book of Purification and its Sunnah
It was narrated that Shaqiq bin Salamah said:
"I saw `Uthman and `Ali performing ablution, washing each part three times, and they said: 'This is how the Messenger of Allah used to perform ablution.'" (Hasan) Another chain with similar wording.
حَدَّثَنَا مَحْمُودُ بْنُ خَالِدٍ الدِّمَشْقِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا الْوَلِيدُ بْنُ مُسْلِمٍ الدِّمَشْقِيُّ، عَنِ ابْنِ ثَوْبَانَ، عَنْ عَبْدَةَ بْنِ أَبِي لُبَابَةَ، عَنْ شَقِيقِ بْنِ سَلَمَةَ، قَالَ رَأَيْتُ عُثْمَانَ وَعَلِيًّا يَتَوَضَّآنِ ثَلاَثًا ثَلاَثًا وَيَقُولاَنِ هَكَذَا كَانَ وُضُوءُ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ . قَالَ أَبُو الْحَسَنِ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ حَدَّثَنَاهُ أَبُو حَاتِمٍ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو نُعَيْمٍ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ ثَابِتِ بْنِ ثَوْبَانَ، فَذَكَرَ نَحْوَهُ .
