Arabic hadith text

وَعَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ شُعَيْبٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ جده قَالَ: جَاءَ أَعْرَابِيٌّ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَسْأَلُهُ عَنِ الْوُضُوءِ فَأَرَاهُ ثَلَاثًا ثَلَاثًا ثُمَّ قَالَ: «هَكَذَا الْوُضُوءُ فَمَنْ زَادَ عَلَى هَذَا فَقَدْ أَسَاءَ وَتَعَدَّى وَظَلَمَ» . رَوَاهُ النَّسَائِيُّ وَابْنُ مَاجَهْ وَرَوَى أَبُو دَاوُدَ مَعْنَاهُ

Translation

ʿAmr ibn Shuʿayb, reporting from his father, from his grandfather, said: ‘A Bedouin came to the Prophet and asked him about ablution. He showed him, washing each part three times, then said: “This is how ablution is performed. Whoever does more than this has done wrong, transgressed, and acted unjustly.”’

Al-Nasāʾī and Ibn Mājah transmitted it; Abū Dāwūd transmitted a report with the same meaning.
