الطبراني:١٦٩٩٧ – حَدَّثَنَا هَاشِمُ بْنُ مَرْثَدٍ الطَّبَرَانِيُّ ثنا صَفْوَانُ بْنُ صَالِحٍ ثنا الْوَلِيدُ بْنُ مُسْلِمٍ عَنْ عُثْمَانَ بْنِ الْمُنْذِرِ عَنِ الْقَاسِمِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ الثَّقَفِيِّ

أَنَّ مُعَاوِيَةَ «أَرَاهُمْ وُضُوءَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَلَمَّا بَلَغَ مَسْحَ رَأْسِهِ وَضَعَ كَفَّيْهِ عَلَى مُقَدَّمِ رَأْسِهِ ثُمَّ بَلَغَ بِهِمَا حَتَّى بَلَغَ الْقَفَا ثُمَّ رَدَّهُمَا حَتَّى بَلَغَ الْمَكَانَ الَّذِي مِنْهُ بَدَأَ»

I saw the Messenger of Allah ﷺ perform ablution. When he reached the stage of wiping his head, he placed his palms on the front of the head. Then he moved them until he reached the nape. He then returned them to the place from where he had started.

[Machine] "He mentioned to them the ablution of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and how he wiped his head with a handful of water until the water dripped from his head, or almost dripped. He showed them the ablution of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ . When he reached wiping his head, he placed his palms on the front of his head, then passed them over his head until he reached the back, then returned them until he reached the place he started from."
