99. It was narrated that ‘Abdullâh bin Zaid, who was shown the call to prayer (in a dream),[1] said: “I saw the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ perform Wudû; he washed his face three times and his hands twice, he washed his feet twice and wiped his head twice.” (Sahîh)
99 - أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ مَنْصُورٍ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ، عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ يَحْيَى، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ زَيْدٍ الَّذِي أُرِيَ النِّدَاءَ قَالَ: «رَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ تَوَضَّأَ فَغَسَلَ وَجْهَهُ ثَلَاثًا وَيَدَيْهِ مَرَّتَيْنِ، وَغَسَلَ رِجْلَيْهِ مَرَّتَيْنِ، وَمَسَحَ بِرَأْسِهِ مَرَّتَيْنِ»

[1] See Abû Dâwûd No. 499, and At-Tirmidhî No. 189. And this narrator is not the same, they consider this statement: “who was shown...” to be an error. See the discussion of At-Tirmidhî after his narration.
"Wiped the head twice" signifies wiping the head with wet hands, beginning at the front of the head, sliding the paired hands back to the nape of the neck and then returning them to where they began.
