"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'.'"  

شَهِدْتُ عَلِيًّا دَعَا بِكُرْسِيٍّ فَقَعَدَ عَلَيْهِ ثُمَّ دَعَا بِمَاءٍ فِي تَوْرٍ فَغَسَلَ يَدَيْهِ ثَلاَثًا ثُمَّ مَضْمَضَ وَاسْتَنْشَقَ بِكَفٍّ وَاحِدٍ ثَلاَثًا ثُمَّ غَسَلَ وَجْهَهُ ثَلاَثًا وَيَدَيْهِ ثَلاَثًا ثَلاَثًا ثُمَّ غَمَسَ يَدَهُ فِي الإِنَاءِ فَمَسَحَ بِرَأْسِهِ ثُمَّ غَسَلَ رِجْلَيْهِ ثَلاَثًا ثَلاَثًا ثُمَّ قَالَ مَنْ سَرَّهُ أَنْ يَنْظُرَ إِلَى وُضُوءِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَهَذَا وَضُوؤُهُ  

I heard ‘Abd Khair say: I was with ʿAli and a chair and a stone vessel of water were brought. He washed his hands three times, his face three times, his forearms three times, and he wiped his head - Yahya described it: he started at the front of his head and moved to the back. And he said: I do not know whether he brought his hands back to the front or not - and he washed his feet. Then he said: Whoever would like to see the wudoo’ of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, this is the wudoo of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, Abu ‘Abdur-Rahman said: Shuʿbah made a mistake with this; rather it was narrated from Khalid bin ʿAlqamah, from ʿAbd Khair.  

كُنْتُ عِنْدَ عَلِيٍّ فَأُتِيَ بِكُرْسِيٍّ وَتَوْرٍ قَالَ فَغَسَلَ كَفَّيْهِ ثَلاثًا وَوَجْهَهُ ثَلاثًا وَذِرَاعَيْهِ ثَلاثًا وَمَسَحَ بِرَأْسِهِ وَصَفَ يَحْيَى فَبَدَأَ بِمُقَدَّمِ رَأْسِهِ إِلَى مُؤَخَّرِهِ قَالَ وَلا أَدْرِي أَرَدَّ يَدَهُ أَمْ لَا وَغَسَلَ رِجْلَيْهِ ثُمَّ قَالَ مَنْ أَحَبَّ أَنْ يَنْظُرَ إِلَى وُضُوءِ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَهَذَا وُضُوءُ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ لَنَا أَبُو عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ هَذَا أَخْطَأَ فِيهِ شُعْبَةُ إِنَّمَا هُوَ عَنْ خَالِدِ بْنِ عَلْقَمَةَ عَنْ عَبْدِ خَيْرٍ  

I saw ʿAli ؓ when a chair was brought to him and he sat on it, then an earthenware jug - Hajjaj said: A stone vessel-of water was brought to him. 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  

رَأَيْتُ عَلِيًّا أُتِيَ بِكُرْسِيٍّ فَقَعَدَ عَلَيْهِ ثُمَّ أُتِيَ بِكُوزٍ قَالَ حَجَّاجٌ بِتَوْرٍ مِنْ مَاءٍ قَالَ فَغَسَلَ يَدَيْهِ ثَلاثًا وَمَضْمَضَ ثَلاثًا مَعَ الاسْتِنْشَاقِ بِمَاءٍ وَاحِدٍ وَغَسَلَ وَجْهَهُ ثَلاثًا وَغَسَلَ ذِرَاعَيْهِ ثَلاثًا قَالَ حَجَّاجٌ ثَلاثًا ثَلاثًا بِيَدٍ وَاحِدَةٍ وَوَضَعَ يَدَيْهِ فِي التَّوْرِ ثُمَّ مَسَحَ رَأْسَهُ قَالَ حَجَّاجٌ فَأَشَارَ بِيَدَيْهِ مِنْ مُقَدَّمِ رَأْسِهِ إِلَى مُؤَخَّرِ رَأْسِهِ قَالَ وَلا أَدْرِي أَرَدَّهَا إِلَى مُقَدَّمِ رَأْسِهِ أَمْ لَا وَغَسَلَ رِجْلَيْهِ ثَلاثًا قَالَ حَجَّاجٌ ثَلاثًا ثَلاثًا ثُمَّ قَالَ مَنْ أَرَادَ أَنْ يَنْظُرَ إِلَى طُهُورِ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَهَذَا طُهُورُ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ  

"I do not know whether he brought his hands back or not. And he washed each foot three times, then he said: 'Whoever would like to see how the Messenger of Allah ﷺ purified himself, this is how he purified himself.'" Abu 'Abdur-Rahman said: "This is a mistake. What is correct is Khalid bin 'Alqamah, not Malik bin 'Urfutah." (Using translation from Nasāʾī 93)   

أَنَّهُ أُتِيَ بِكُرْسِيٍّ فَقَعَدَ عَلَيْهِ ثُمَّ دَعَا بِتَوْرٍ فِيهِ مَاءٌ فَكَفَأَ عَلَى يَدَيْهِ ثَلَاثًا ثُمَّ تَمَضْمَضَ وَاسْتَنْشَقَ بِكَفٍّ وَاحِدَةٍ ثَلَاثَ مَرَّاتٍ وَغَسَلَ وَجْهَهُ ثَلَاثًا وَغَسَلَ ذِرَاعَيْهِ ثَلَاثًا ثَلَاثًا وَأَخَذَ مِنَ الْمَاءِ فَمَسَحَ بِرَأْسِهِ فَأَشَارَ شُعْبَةُ مِنْ نَاصِيَتِهِ إِلَى مُؤَخَّرِ رَأْسِهِ ثُمَّ قَالَ لَا أَدْرِي أَرَدَّهُمَا أَمْ لَا وَغَسَلَ رِجْلَيْهِ ثَلَاثًا ثُمَّ قَالَ مَنْ سَرَّهُ أَنْ يَنْظُرَ إِلَى طُهُورِ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَهَذَا طُهُورُهُ خَالَفَهُ يَزِيدُ بْنُ زُرَيْعٍ فَرَوَاهُ عَنْ شُعْبَةَ  

[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 .'"  

أَنَّ عَلِيًّا ؓ أُتِيَ بِكُرْسِيٍّ فَقَعَدَ عَلَيْهِ ثُمَّ أُتِيَ بِكُوزٍ مِنْ مَاءٍ فَغَسَلَ يَدَيْهِ ثَلَاثًا ثُمَّ مَضْمَضَ ثَلَاثًا مَعَ الِاسْتِنْشَاقِ بِمَاءٍ وَاحِدٍ وَغَسَلَ وَجْهَهُ ثَلَاثًا بِيَدٍ وَاحِدَةٍ وَغَسَلَ ذِرَاعَيْهِ ثَلَاثًا وَوَضَعَ يَدَهُ فِي التَّوْرِ ثُمَّ مَسَحَ بِرَأْسِهِ وَأَقْبَلَ بِيَدَيْهِ عَلَى رَأْسِهِ وَلَا أَدْرِي أَدْبَرَ بِهِمَا أَمْ لَا؟ وَغَسَلَ رِجْلَيْهِ ثَلَاثًا ثُمَّ قَالَ مَنْ سَرَّهُ أَنْ يَنْظُرَ إِلَى طُهُورِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَهَذَا طُهُورُهُ ﷺ
