I saw ‘Ali ؓ call for water for wudoo’. Then he wiped himself thoroughly with it and wiped the tops of his feet, then he said: This is the wudoo’ of one who has not broken his wudoo’. Then he said: Were it not that I saw the Messenger of Allah ﷺ wipe the tops of his feet, I would have thought that the bottom of the feet were more deserving of being wiped. Then he drank the leftover wudoo’ water whilst standing then he said: Where are those who claim that no one should drink whilst standing?

رَأَيْتُ عَلِيًّا دَعَا بِمَاءٍ لِيَتَوَضَّأَ فَتَمَسَّحَ بِهِ تَمَسُّحًا وَمَسَحَ عَلَى ظَهْرِ قَدَمَيْهِ ثُمَّ قَالَ هَذَا وُضُوءُ مَنْ لَمْ يُحْدِثْ ثُمَّ قَالَ لَوْلا أَنِّي رَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ مَسَحَ عَلَى ظَهْرِ قَدَمَيْهِ رَأَيْتُ أَنَّ بُطُونَهُمَا أَحَقُّ ثُمَّ شَرِبَ فَضْلَ وَضُوئِهِ وَهُوَ قَائِمٌ ثُمَّ قَالَ أَيْنَ الَّذِينَ يَزْعُمُونَ أَنَّهُ لَا يَنْبَغِي لِأَحَدٍ أَنْ يَشْرَبَ قَائِمًا؟
