Answer:
Yes, the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) commanded that. He said:
When any one of you wakes from sleep, let him not dip his hand in (the water he uses for) his Wudu' until he has washed it three times, for none of you knows where his hand spent the night.
إذا استيقظ أحدكم من نوم الليل فلا يغمس يده في الإيلاء حتى يغسلها ثلاثا، فإن أحدكم لا يدري أين باتت يده
