395. It was narrated that Jâbir said: "The Messenger of Allâh ﷺ said: 'When anyone of you gets up from sleep and wants to perform ablution, he should not put his hand into the vessel he used for ablution until he has washed it, because he does not know where his hand spent the night or where he put it.'" [One of the narrators) Abu Ishâq said: "What is correct is that it is narrated from Jâbir, from Abu Hurairah." ] (Hasan)
395 - حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ تَوْبَةَ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا زِيَادُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ الْبَكَّائِيُّ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الْمَلِكِ بْنِ أَبِي سُلَيْمَانَ، عَنْ أَبِي الزُّبَيْرِ، عَنْ جَابِرٍ قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «إِذَا قَامَ أَحَدُكُمْ مِنَ النَّوْمِ، فَأَرَادَ أَنْ يَتَوَضَّأَ، فَلَا يُدْخِلْ يَدَهُ فِي وَضُوئِهِ حَتَّى يَغْسِلَهَا، فَإِنَّهُ لَا يَدْرِي أَيْنَ بَاتَتْ يَدُهُ، وَلَا عَلَى مَا وَضَعَهَا»

Although Hadith 393 mentions the washing of hands 'two or three times' the scholars hold the order to wash more than once to be recommended rather than mandatory.
