    (قلت: إسناده حسن صحيح. وأخرجه ابن خزيمة في "صحيحه". وصححه النووي. غير أن قوله: "أو نقص" شاذ، بل هو وهم من بعض الرواة، كما عليه المحققون، ويعارضه ما يأتي في البابين التاليين من وضوئه صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيهِ وَسَلَّمَ مرة مرة، ومرتين مرتين)

English translation

135. ‘Amr bin Shu’aib narrated, from his father, from his grandfather, that a man came to the Prophet ﷺ and asked: “O Messenger of Allāh! How is purification (performed)?” So he (ﷺ) called for a container of water, and washed his hands thrice. Then he washed his face thrice, and his forearms thrice. Then he wiped his head, and inserted his index fingers into his ears, while wiping the outside of his ears with his thumbs, and the inside with the index fingers. Then he washed his feet thrice, and said: “This is the Wudū’. So whoever increases in this, or decreases, has indeed done wrong and injustice,” or “done injustice and wrong.” (Hasan)

135 - حَدَّثَنَا مُسَدَّدٌ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو عَوَانَةَ، عَنْ مُوسَى بْنِ أَبِي عَائِشَةَ، عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ شُعَيْبٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ جَدِّهِ، أَنَّ رَجُلًا أَتَى النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَقَالَ: «يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ كَيْفَ الطُّهُورُ فَدَعَا بِمَاءٍ فِي إِنَاءٍ فَغَسَلَ كَفَّيْهِ ثَلَاثًا، ثُمَّ غَسَلَ وَجْهَهُ ثَلَاثًا، ثُمَّ غَسَلَ ذِرَاعَيْهِ ثَلَاثًا، ثُمَّ مَسَحَ بِرَأْسِهِ فَأَدْخَلَ إِصْبَعَيْهِ السَّبَّاحَتَيْنِ فِي أُذُنَيْهِ، وَمَسَحَ بِإِبْهَامَيْهِ عَلَى ظَاهِرِ أُذُنَيْهِ، وَبِالسَّبَّاحَتَيْنِ بَاطِنَ أُذُنَيْهِ، ثُمَّ غَسَلَ رِجْلَيْهِ ثَلَاثًا ثَلَاثًا»، ثُمَّ قَالَ: «هَكَذَا الْوُضُوءُ فَمَنْ زَادَ عَلَى هَذَا أَوْ نَقَصَ فَقَدْ أَسَاءَ وَظَلَمَ - أَوْ ظَلَمَ وَأَسَاءَ -»

Commentary

The Messenger of Allāh (ﷺ) also demonstrated what is practical. This method is more effective than oral instructions.
