Definition of Washing

It is stated in Maraqil Falāh:

Washing a limb entails that at least 2 drops of water must flow over that limb. If the limb is
simply moistened by rubbing a wet hand over it, or if only 1 drop of water flows over it then it
will not be considered washed and the ablution or ghusl will not be considered complete.2
