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 once.
[Authentic] - [Narrated by Al-Bukhāri] - [Sahīh Al-Bukhāri - 157]
When the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) performed ablution, he would sometimes wash each organ of the organs of ablution once - washing the face - including rinsing the mouth and sniffing water into the nostrils - and the hands and feet once. This is the due amount.
