Sunan an-Nasai 140 (Book 1, Hadith 141) #14747
The Correct Way of Performing Wudu'

SUMMARY: The Prophet ﷺ taught a Bedouin how to perform Wudu' correctly, emphasizing that doing more than the prescribed amount is wrong.

It was narrated from 'Amr bin Shu'aib, from his father, that his grandfather said: "A Bedouin came to the Prophet to ask him about Wudu', so he showed him how to perform Wudu', washing each part three times, then he said: 'This is Wudu'. Whoever does more than that has done badly, done to extremes and done wrong'."
