Shaqiq bin Salamah narrates: I saw Sayyiduna Uthman Ghani (may Allah be pleased with him) perform ablution; first he washed both hands three times, then rinsed his mouth and put water into his nose, doing this three times, then washed his face three times, washed both arms three times, then wiped his head and then wiped the inner and outer parts of both ears, he combed through his beard three times and then washed both feet, and also combed through the toes of his feet three times, and he stated: "I saw the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) perform ablution in the same way as I have done." The wording of both narrations is nearly identical.
