English translation

422. It was narrated from 'Amr bin Shu'aib, from his father, from his grandfather, that a Bedouin came to the Prophet ﷺ and asked him about ablution. He showed him how to perform it washing each part of the body three times. Then he said: 'This is ablution, and whoever does more than this, has done evil, transgressed the limits and wronged himself.'"(Hasan)

Arabic text

422 - حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا خَالِي يَعْلَى، عَنْ سُفْيَانَ، عَنْ مُوسَى بْنِ أَبِي عَائِشَةَ، عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ شُعَيْبٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ جَدِّهِ، قَالَ جَاءَ أَعْرَابِيٌّ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَسَأَلَهُ عَنِ الْوُضُوءِ، فَأَرَاهُ ثَلَاثًا ثَلَاثًا، ثُمَّ قَالَ: «هَذَا الْوُضُوءُ، فَمَنْ زَادَ عَلَى هَذَا فَقَدْ أَسَاءَ، أَوْ تَعَدَّى، أَوْ ظَلَمَ»

Commentary

a. An effective method of teaching is to demonstrate the subject through action. Teachers must make use of this method for explaining practical matters. b. 'Doing more than this' means to wash a part more than thrice.
