It is narrated from Sayyiduna Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) that Sayyiduna Uthman (may Allah be pleased with him) performed ablution three times at each part at Maqa'id. The noble Companions (may Allah be pleased with them) were present with him. He asked them: "Did you see the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) performing ablution in this manner?" They replied: "Yes."

It is narrated from ‘Abd Khair that Sayyiduna ‘Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) said: This is the ablution (wudu) of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him); he (peace and blessings be upon him) used to wash each limb three times while performing ablution.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Amr bin al-As (may Allah be pleased with him) that a Bedouin came to the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and was asking about ablution. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) demonstrated ablution to him by washing each part three times and said: "This is ablution. Whoever washes more than this has done wrong, has exceeded the limit, and has committed injustice."
