[Machine] About Ali, interrupted, as reported by Al-Shafi'i in the book of Ali and Abdullah explained by Hushaim from Khalid from Abu Ishaq, that Ali said about Tayammum, a strike for the face and a strike for both hands, so as a precaution, wipe the face and wipe the hands up to the elbows, to avoid differing opinions. And Allah knows best.  

البيهقي:١٠١٦وَأَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ الْحَارِثِ الْفَقِيهُ أنا عَلِيُّ بْنُ عُمَرَ الْحَافِظُ ثنا إِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ أنا إِبْرَاهِيمُ الْحَرْبِيُّ ثنا سَعِيدُ بْنُ سُلَيْمَانَ وَشُجَاعٌ ثنا هُشَيْمٌ ثنا خَالِدٌ عَنْ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ عَنْ بَعْضِ أَصْحَابِ عَلِيٍّ عَنْ عَلِيٍّ قَالَ ضَرْبَتَانِ ضَرْبَةٌ لِلْوَجْهِ وَضَرْبَةٌ لِلذِّرَاعَيْنِ وَكِلَاهُمَا
