140. It was narrated from 'Amr bin Shu'aib, from his father, that his grandfather said: "A Bedouin came to the Prophet ﷺ to ask him about Wudû', so he showed him how to perform Wudû', washing each part three times, then he said: 'This is Wudû'. Whoever does more than that has done badly, gone to extremes and done wrong.'" (Hasan)

Arabic text

140 - أَخْبَرَنَا مَحْمُودُ بْنُ غَيْلَانَ، حَدَّثَنَا يَعْلَى قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ، عَنْ مُوسَى بْنِ أَبِي عَائِشَةَ، عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ شُعَيْبٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ جَدِّهِ قَالَ: جَاءَ أَعْرَابِيٌّ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَسْأَلُهُ عَنِ الْوُضُوءِ، فَأَرَاهُ الْوُضُوءَ ثَلَاثًا ثَلَاثًا، ثُمَّ قَالَ: «هَكَذَا الْوُضُوءُ، فَمَنْ زَادَ عَلَى هَذَا فَقَدْ أَسَاءَ وَتَعَدَّى وَظَلَمَ»

Commentary

But if the ablution limbs are contaminated with a filth which is stubborn and is not cleansed by washing it thrice, it is then necessary to obliterate it. This circumstance, however, is rare and is considered an exception to the rule.
