Arabic text

416 - حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ بْنُ وَكِيعٍ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا عِيسَى بْنُ يُونُسَ، عَنْ فَائِدٍ أَبِي الْوَرْقَاءِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ أَبِي أَوْفَى، قَالَ: «رَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ تَوَضَّأَ ثَلَاثًا ثَلَاثًا، وَمَسَحَ رَأْسَهُ مَرَّةً»

Commentary

The Hadith proves that, unlike other parts that are washed three times each, the head must be wiped only once.
