عن ابن عباس قال: توضأ النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم مرة مرة.

Ibn ‘Abbās (may Allah be pleased with him) reported: The Prophet (may Allah’s peace and blessings be upon him) performed ablution by washing the body parts only once.
Sahih/Authentic. - [Al-Bukhari]

Explanation

Ibn ‘Abbās (may Allah be pleased with him) reported that the Prophet (may Allah’s peace and blessings be upon him) performed ablution in which he washed the body parts only once. This is the least valid amount: to wash the parts that should be washed - the face, the hands, and the feet - only once, and to wipe over the part to be wiped - the head - only once. This is addressed in details in other Hadīths.
