Hadhrat Abdullah ibn Zaid (Radiallahu Anhu) was asked regarding the wudhu of Nabi (Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam). He requested for a utensil of water, thereafter demonstrated before them the manner in which Rasulullah (Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam) performed wudhu. He poured water on his hands from the utensil and thereupon washed his hands (till the wrist) thrice. He then gargled his mouth and rinsed his nose thrice.

اَللّهُمَّ اغْفِرْ لِى ذ نْبِى وَوَسِّعْ لِى فِى دَارِى وَ بَارِكْ لِى فِى رِزْقِى
O Allah! Forgive my sins, make my house spacious for me and grant me blessings in my sustenance.
عن ابى موسى الاشعرى رضى الله عنه قال اتيت رسول الله صلى الله عليه و سلم بوَضوء فتوضأ فسمعته يدعو و يقول اللهم اغفر لى ذنبى ووسّع لى فى دارى و بارك لى فى رزقى فقلت يا نبى الله سمعتك تدعو بكذا و كذا قال وهل تركن من شيء . (الاذكار للامام النووى ص73 )

He performed wudhu and I heard him reciting the duaa اللهم اغفر لى ذنبى ووسّع لى فى دارى و بارك لى فى رزقى . I then asked him: O Nabi of Allah (Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam) I heard you whilst making wudhu reciting the duaa. اللهم اغفر لى ذنبى ووسّع لى فى دارى و بارك لى فى رزقى Nabi (Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam replied: Is this Duaa insufficient in any way, (in encompassing all the bounties and favours of Allah Ta’aala?)
