407. It was narrated from 'Āsim bin Laqit bin Sabrah that his father said: "I said: 'O Messenger of Allāh! Tell me about ablution.' He said: 'Perform ablution properly'[1] and sniff water up into your nostrils thoroughly, unless you are fasting.'" (Sahih)
407 - حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ سُلَيْمٍ الطَّائِفِيُّ، عَنْ إِسْمَاعِيلَ بْنِ كَثِيرٍ، عَنْ عَاصِمِ بْنِ لَقِيطِ بْنِ صَبْرَةَ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ قَالَ: قُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ، أَخْبِرْنِي عَنِ الْوُضُوءِ، قَالَ: «أَسْبِغِ الْوُضُوءَ، وَبَالِغْ فِي الِاسْتِنْشَاقِ، إِلَّا أَنْ تَكُونَ صَائِمًا»

The Arabic expression Asbighil-Wudu' means doing the ablution so attentively and thoroughly that no part of the body meant to be washed remains dry. Thus, rubbing and washing each part thrice is also part of the completion of ablution.
