Bulugh al-Maram
وَعَنْ عَلِيٍّ ‏- رضى الله عنه ‏- ‏-فِي صِفَةِ وُضُوءِ اَلنَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اَللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ‏- قَالَ: { وَمَسَحَ بِرَأْسِهِ وَاحِدَةً.‏ } أَخْرَجَهُ أَبُو دَاوُد َ (44)‏ .‏
Narrated "Ali (rad) regarding the description of the ablution of the Prophet (ﷺ):
He (the Prophet) wiped his head (with water) only once. [Reported by Abu Da'ud, An-Nasa'i, AtTirmidhi with a Sahih Sanad (authentic chain of narrators). At-Tirmidhi said, "It's the most sound Hadith on this subject" ].
