He washed his hands three times; rinsed his mouth three times and his nose with one scoop of water, he washed his face three times and washed his forearms three times-Hajjaj said: three times each - and he placed his hands in the vessel, then he wiped his head Hajjaj said: he gestured with his hands from the front of his head to the back. He said: I do not know whether he brought them back to the front of his head or not. And he washed his feet three times-Hajjaj said: three times each - then he said: Whoever would like to see the wudooʿ of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ , this is the wudoo’ of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ

[Machine] "That Ali was brought a chair, so he sat on it. Then he was brought a container of water, so he washed his hands three times. Then he rinsed his mouth and nostrils with one handful of water. He washed his face three times with one hand, and washed his arms three times. He put his hand in the container, then wiped his head with it. He then wiped his head and face with both hands, and I do not know if he wiped them forwards or backwards. He washed his feet three times, then he said, 'Whoever wants to see the purification of the Prophet, ﷺ , should look at this purification of his, ﷺ .'"
