Arabic hadith text

حَدَّثَنَا إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ مُوسَى، أَخْبَرَنَا عِيسَى، أَخْبَرَنَا عُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ، - يَعْنِي ابْنَ أَبِي زِيَادٍ - عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عُبَيْدِ بْنِ عُمَيْرٍ، عَنْ أَبِي عَلْقَمَةَ، أَنَّ عُثْمَانَ، دَعَا بِمَاءٍ فَتَوَضَّأَ فَأَفْرَغَ بِيَدِهِ الْيُمْنَى عَلَى الْيُسْرَى ثُمَّ غَسَلَهُمَا إِلَى الْكُوعَيْنِ - قَالَ - ثُمَّ مَضْمَضَ وَاسْتَنْشَقَ ثَلاَثًا وَذَكَرَ الْوُضُوءَ ثَلاَثًا - قَالَ - وَمَسَحَ بِرَأْسِهِ ثُمَّ غَسَلَ رِجْلَيْهِ وَقَالَ رَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم تَوَضَّأَ مِثْلَ مَا رَأَيْتُمُونِي تَوَضَّأْتُ ‏.‏ ثُمَّ سَاقَ نَحْوَ حَدِيثِ الزُّهْرِيِّ وَأَتَمَّ ‏.‏

Translation

Ibrahim ibn Musa informed us; Isa informed us; Ubayd Allah—meaning Ibn Abi Ziyad—informed us, from Abdullah ibn Ubayd ibn Umayr, from Abu al-Qamah: Uthman called for water and performed ablution. He poured water with his right hand over his left, then washed both to the wrists. He then rinsed his mouth and drew water into his nose three times, and performed the washing of the ablution three times. He said: He wiped his head, then washed his feet, and said: ‘I saw the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) perform ablution as you have seen me perform it.’ He then related a similar report to that of al-Zuhri, giving it in fuller form.
