حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْمُثَنَّی حَدَّثَنَا الضَّحَّاکُ بْنُ مَخْلَدٍ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ وَرْدَانَ حَدَّثَنِي أَبُو سَلَمَةَ بْنُ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ حَدَّثَنِي حُمْرَانُ قَالَ رَأَيْتُ عُثْمَانَ بْنَ عَفَّانَ تَوَضَّأَ فَذَکَرَ نَحْوَهُ وَلَمْ يَذْکُرْ الْمَضْمَضَةَ وَالِاسْتِنْشَاقَ وَقَالَ فِيهِ وَمَسَحَ رَأْسَهُ ثَلَاثًا ثُمَّ غَسَلَ رِجْلَيْهِ ثَلَاثًا ثُمَّ قَالَ رَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ تَوَضَّأَ هَکَذَا وَقَالَ مَنْ تَوَضَّأَ دُونَ هَذَا کَفَاهُ وَلَمْ يَذْکُرْ أَمْرَ الصَّلَاةِ
سنن ابودوٗد · Hadith 107
Humran said: I saw Uthman bin Affan performing ablution. He then narrated the same tradition. In this version there is no mention of rinsing the mouth and snuffing up water. This traditions adds: “He wiped his head three times. He then washed his feet three times. He then said: I saw the Messenger of Allah ﷺ performing ablution in like manner. He (the Prophet) said: He who performs ablution less than this, it is sufficient for him. 73The narrator did not mention prayer (in this version).
