حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو كُرَيْبٍ، وَمُحَمَّدُ بْنُ رَافِعٍ، قَالاَ حَدَّثَنَا زَيْدُ بْنُ حُبَابٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ ثَابِتِ بْنِ ثَوْبَانَ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ الْفَضْلِ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ هُرْمُزَ، هُوَ الأَعْرَجُ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صلى الله عليه وسلم تَوَضَّأَ مَرَّتَيْنِ مَرَّتَيْنِ . قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى وَفِي الْبَابِ عَنْ جَابِرٍ . قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ غَرِيبٌ لاَ نَعْرِفُهُ إِلاَّ مِنْ حَدِيثِ ابْنِ ثَوْبَانَ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ الْفَضْلِ وَهُوَ إِسْنَادٌ حَسَنٌ صَحِيحٌ . قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى وَقَدْ رَوَى هَمَّامٌ عَنْ عَامِرٍ الأَحْوَلِ عَنْ عَطَاءٍ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صلى الله عليه وسلم تَوَضَّأَ ثَلاَثًا ثَلاَثًا " .

Summary of Jami at-Tirmidhi Hadith 43
This hadith about wudu two times each reports another clear form of the Prophet's purification. Abu Hurairah narrated that the Prophet performed wudu twice for each limb. The text does not present it as a long lesson, but it gives an important detail for anyone searching how many times to wash in wudu. Abu Eisa calls this narration hasan gharib and mentions another report in which Abu Hurairah narrated wudu three times each. Taken only from this text, we learn that the number of washings was reported in more than one way. The point is to perform wudu properly and to respect the transmitted forms instead of turning the matter into guesswork.
What we learn from this hadith
- The Prophet performed wudu twice for each limb in this report.
- The number of washings in wudu is part of the transmitted practice.
- Learning wudu should be based on narrated evidence, not habit alone.
