Arabic hadith text

حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْمُثَنَّى، حَدَّثَنَا الضَّحَّاكُ بْنُ مَخْلَدٍ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ وَرْدَانَ، حَدَّثَنِي أَبُو سَلَمَةَ بْنُ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ، حَدَّثَنِي حُمْرَانُ، قَالَ رَأَيْتُ عُثْمَانَ بْنَ عَفَّانَ تَوَضَّأَ ‏.‏ فَذَكَرَ نَحْوَهُ وَلَمْ يَذْكُرِ الْمَضْمَضَةَ وَالاِسْتِنْشَاقَ وَقَالَ فِيهِ وَمَسَحَ رَأْسَهُ ثَلاَثًا ثُمَّ غَسَلَ رِجْلَيْهِ ثَلاَثًا ثُمَّ قَالَ رَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم تَوَضَّأَ هَكَذَا وَقَالَ ‏"‏ مَنْ تَوَضَّأَ دُونَ هَذَا كَفَاهُ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ وَلَمْ يَذْكُرْ أَمْرَ الصَّلاَةِ ‏.‏

Translation

Muhammad ibn al-Muthanna narrated to us; al-Dahhak ibn Makhlad narrated to us; Abd al-Rahman ibn Wardan narrated to us; Abu Salamah ibn Abd al-Rahman narrated to me; Humran narrated to me. He said: I saw Uthman ibn Affan perform ablution, and he mentioned something similar, but did not mention rinsing the mouth or drawing water into the nose. In this version, he said that Uthman wiped his head three times, then washed his feet three times, then said: I saw the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) perform ablution in this way and say: ‘Whoever performs less than this, it suffices him.’ This version did not mention the prayer.
