The Order in the Verse of Ablution

Question
Is the order mentioned in the verse of ablution not considered significant by the Hanafi school, while it is obligatory according to the Shafi'i school?
Answer
I say, and with God's help: The order mentioned in the verse is significant in establishing the confirmed Sunnah according to the Hanafi school. As for the obligatory, it requires definitive evidence for the ruling, and such an order does not provide definitive evidence but rather is speculative, indicating its Sunnah status. And God knows best.
