Three. (25 points) As shown in Figure 3, in isosceles $\triangle ABC$, $AB = AC = \sqrt{5}$, $D$ is a point on side $BC$ other than the midpoint, the symmetric point of $C$ with respect to line $AD$ is $E$, and the extension of $EB$ intersects the extension of $AD$ at point $F$. Find the value of $AD \cdot AF$.
