"I saw 'Ali call for a chair and he sat down, then he called for water in a vessel and washed his hands three times, then he rinsed his mouth and nose with one hand, three times. Then he washed his face three times, and his hands three times. Then he dipped his hand in the vessel and wiped his head, then he washed each foot three times. Then he said: 'Whoever would like to see how the Messenger of Allah ﷺ performed Wudu', this is his Wudu'.'" (Using translation from Nasāʾī 94)

شَهِدْتُ عَلِيًّا دَعَا بِكُرْسِيٍّ فَقَعَدَ عَلَيْهِ ثُمَّ دَعَا بِمَاءٍ فِي تَوْرٍ فَغَسَلَ يَدَيْهِ ثَلَاثًا ثُمَّ مَضْمَضَ وَاسْتَنْشَقَ بِكَفٍّ وَاحِدةٍ ثَلَاثًا ثُمَّ غَسَلَ وَجْهَهُ ثَلَاثًا وَيَدَيْهِ ثَلَاثًا وَمَسَحَ بِرَأْسِهِ ثُمَّ غَسَلَ رِجْلَيْهِ ثَلَاثًا ثَلَاثًا ثُمَّ قَالَ مَنْ سَرَّهُ أَنْ يَنْظُرَ إِلَى وُضُوءِ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَهَذَا وُضُوءُ رَسُولِ اللهِ 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 .'"
