"From Abū Mālik al-Dimashqī, who said: My father narrated to me that ʿUthmān b. ʿAffān, during his caliphate, was asked about ablution because people differed over it. So he gave permission to the people and they entered upon him. He called for water and washed his hands three times. Then he scooped with his right hand, raised it to his mouth, and rinsed his mouth and sniffed water with a single handful, and he blew it out with his left hand. He did that three times. Then he scooped with his right hand, joined his left hand to it, raised them to his face and washed his face. He did that three times, and he ran his fingers through his beard. Then he scooped with his right hand over his right forearm and washed it up to the elbows three times. Then he scooped with his right hand and washed his left arm up to the elbows three times. Then he wiped the front of his head with his hand once, and did not take new water for it. Then he put his hand into the ear canals and wiped the outside and the inside of the ears. Then he washed his right foot up to the ankles and ran his fingers between the toes. Then he washed his left foot up to the ankles and ran his fingers between the toes, three times. And he said: Indeed the Prophet ﷺ (gave us permission as I have given you permission, and performed ablution for us as I have performed ablution for you. So whoever was asking about the manner of the ablution of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ), this was his ablution."
