حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ الْوَلِيدِ حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ حَدَّثَنِي سَالِمٌ أَبُو النَّضْرِ عَنْ بُسْرِ بْنِ سَعِيدٍ عَنْ عُثْمَانَ بْنِ عَفَّانَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ أَنَّهُ دَعَا بِمَاءٍ فَتَوَضَّأَ عِنْدَ الْمَقَاعِدِ فَتَوَضَّأَ ثَلَاثًا ثَلَاثًا ثُمَّ قَالَ لِأَصْحَابِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ هَلْ رَأَيْتُمْ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَعَلَ هَذَا قَالُوا نَعَمْ قَالَ أَبِي هَذَا الْعَدَنِيُّ كَانَ بِمَكَّةَ مُسْتَمْلِيَ ابْنِ عُيَيْنَةَ
مسند امام احمد بن حنبل · Hadith 488
It was narrated from "Uthman bin 'Affan (RA) that he called for water and did wudoo' in al-Maqa'id. He did wudoo', washing each part three times, then he said to the Companions of the Messenger of Allah (PBUH): Did you see the Messenger of Allah (PBUH) doing (wudoo') like this? They said: Yes.
