حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْمُثَنَّی حَدَّثَنِي مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ حَدَّثَنِي شُعْبَةُ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ مَالِکَ بْنَ عُرْفُطَةَ سَمِعْتُ عَبْدَ خَيْرٍ رَأَيْتُ عَلِيًّا رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ أُتِيَ بِکُرْسِيٍّ فَقَعَدَ عَلَيْهِ ثُمَّ أُتِيَ بِکُوزٍ مِنْ مَائٍ فَغَسَلَ يَدَيْهِ ثَلَاثًا ثُمَّ تَمَضْمَضَ مَعَ الِاسْتِنْشَاقِ بِمَائٍ وَاحِدٍ وَذَکَرَ الْحَدِيثَ

Malik bin Ghurfatah says: I heard Abd Khair say: I saw a chair was brought to Ali who sat on it. A vessel of water was then brought to him. He washed his hands three times ; he then rinsed his mouth and snuffed up water with one handful of water. He narrated the tradition completely.

مَالِكُ بْنُ عُرْفُطَةَ، ← شُعْبَةُ، ← مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ ← مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْمُثَنَّى،

حَدَّثَنَا عُثْمَانُ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو نُعَيْمٍ حَدَّثَنَا رَبِيعَةُ الْکِنَانِيُّ عَنْ الْمِنْهَالِ بْنِ عَمْرٍو عَنْ زِرِّ بْنِ حُبَيْشٍ أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ عَلِيًّا رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ وَسُئِلَ عَنْ وُضُوئِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَذَکَرَ الْحَدِيثَ وَقَالَ وَمَسَحَ عَلَی رَأْسِهِ حَتَّی لَمَّا يَقْطُرْ وَغَسَلَ رِجْلَيْهِ ثَلَاثًا ثَلَاثًا ثُمَّ قَالَ هَکَذَا کَانَ وُضُوئُ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ

Zirr bin Hubaish said that the heard that Ali was asked how the Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to perform ablution. He then narrated the tradition and said: he wiped his head so much so that drops (of water) were about to trickle down. He then washed his feet three times and said: This is how the Messenger of Allah ﷺ performed ablutions.

هَکَذَا کَانَ وُضُوئُ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ← وَمَسَحَ عَلَی رَأْسِهِ حَتَّی لَمَّا يَقْطُرْ وَغَسَلَ رِجْلَيْهِ ثَلَاثًا ثَلَاثًا ثُمَّ ← الْحَدِيثَ. ← وُضُوئِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ← عليا وسئل ← زر بن حبيش أنه ← الْمِنْهَالِ بْنِ عَمْرٍو ← ربيعة الكناني ← أَبُو نُعَيْمٍ، ← عُثْمَانُ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ

حَدَّثَنَا زِيَادُ بْنُ أَيُّوبَ الطُّوسِيُّ حَدَّثَنَا عُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مُوسَی حَدَّثَنَا فِطْرٌ عَنْ أَبِي فَرْوَةَ عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ أَبِي لَيْلَی قَالَ رَأَيْتُ عَلِيًّا رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ تَوَضَّأَ فَغَسَلَ وَجْهَهُ ثَلَاثًا وَغَسَلَ ذِرَاعَيْهِ ثَلَاثًا وَمَسَحَ بِرَأْسِهِ وَاحِدَةً ثُمَّ قَالَ هَکَذَا تَوَضَّأَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ

Abdur-Rahman bin Abi Laila says: I saw Ali performing ablution. He washed his face three times and his hands three times and wiped his head once. Then he (Ali) said: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to perform ablution in this way.

عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ أَبِي لَيْلَى ← أَبِي فَرْوَةَ ← فِطْرٍ ← عُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مُوسَى ← زِيَادُ بْنُ أَيُّوبَ الطُّوسِيُّ،

حَدَّثَنَا مُسَدَّدٌ وَأَبُو تَوْبَةَ قَالَا حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الْأَحْوَصِ ح و حَدَّثَنَا عَمْرُو بْنُ عَوْنٍ أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو الْأَحْوَصِ عَنْ أَبِي إِسْحَقَ عَنْ أَبِي حَيَّةَ قَالَ رَأَيْتُ عَلِيًّا رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ تَوَضَّأَ فَذَکَرَ وُضُوئَهُ کُلَّهُ ثَلَاثًا ثَلَاثًا قَالَ ثُمَّ مَسَحَ رَأْسَهُ ثُمَّ غَسَلَ رِجْلَيْهِ إِلَی الْکَعْبَيْنِ ثُمَّ قَالَ إِنَّمَا أَحْبَبْتُ أَنْ أُرِيَکُمْ طُهُورَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ

Abu Hayyah said: I saw Ali perform ablution. He (Abu Hayyah) then described that Ali went through every part of the ablution three times, i. e. he performed each detail of his ablution three times. He then wiped his head, then washed his feet up to the ankles. He then said: I wanted to show you how the Messenger of Allah ﷺ performed ablution.

إِنَّمَا أَحْبَبْتُ أَنْ أُرِيَکُمْ طُهُورَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ← ثُمَّ مَسَحَ رَأْسَهُ ثُمَّ غَسَلَ رِجْلَيْهِ إِلَی الْکَعْبَيْنِ ثُمَّ ← رَأَيْتُ عَلِيًّا تَوَضَّأَ فَذَکَرَ وُضُوئَهُ کُلَّهُ ثَلَاثًا ثَلَاثًا ← أَبِي حَيَّةَ ← أَبِي إِسْحَقَ ← أَبُو الْأَحْوَصِ، ← عَمْرُو بْنُ عَوْنٍ ← و، ← أَبُو الْأَحْوَصِ، ← مُسَدَّدٌ وَأَبُو تَوْبَةَ

حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْعَزِيزِ بْنُ يَحْيَی الْحَرَّانِيُّ حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدٌ يَعْنِي ابْنَ سَلَمَةَ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ إِسْحَقَ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ طَلْحَةَ بْنِ يَزِيدَ بْنِ رُکَانَةَ عَنْ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ الْخَوْلَانِيُّ عَنْ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ قَالَ دَخَلَ عَلَيَّ عَلِيٌّ يَعْنِي ابْنَ أَبِي طَالِبٍ وَقَدْ أَهْرَاقَ الْمَائَ فَدَعَا بِوَضُوئٍ فَأَتَيْنَاهُ بِتَوْرٍ فِيهِ مَائٌ حَتَّی وَضَعْنَاهُ بَيْنَ يَدَيْهِ فَقَالَ يَا ابْنَ عَبَّاسٍ أَلَا أُرِيکَ کَيْفَ کَانَ يَتَوَضَّأُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قُلْتُ بَلَی قَالَ فَأَصْغَی الْإِنَائَ عَلَی يَدِهِ فَغَسَلَهَا ثُمَّ أَدْخَلَ يَدَهُ الْيُمْنَی فَأَفْرَغَ بِهَا عَلَی الْأُخْرَی ثُمَّ غَسَلَ کَفَّيْهِ ثُمَّ تَمَضْمَضَ وَاسْتَنْثَرَ ثُمَّ أَدْخَلَ يَدَيْهِ فِي الْإِنَائِ جَمِيعًا فَأَخَذَ بِهِمَا حَفْنَةً مِنْ مَائٍ فَضَرَبَ بِهَا عَلَی وَجْهِهِ ثُمَّ أَلْقَمَ إِبْهَامَيْهِ مَا أَقْبَلَ مِنْ أُذُنَيْهِ ثُمَّ الثَّانِيَةَ ثُمَّ الثَّالِثَةَ مِثْلَ ذَلِکَ ثُمَّ أَخَذَ بِکَفِّهِ الْيُمْنَی قَبْضَةً مِنْ مَائٍ فَصَبَّهَا عَلَی نَاصِيَتِهِ فَتَرَکَهَا تَسْتَنُّ عَلَی وَجْهِهِ ثُمَّ غَسَلَ ذِرَاعَيْهِ إِلَی الْمِرْفَقَيْنِ ثَلَاثًا ثَلَاثًا ثُمَّ مَسَحَ رَأْسَهُ وَظُهُورَ أُذُنَيْهِ ثُمَّ أَدْخَلَ يَدَيْهِ جَمِيعًا فَأَخَذَ حَفْنَةً مِنْ مَائٍ فَضَرَبَ بِهَا عَلَی رِجْلِهِ وَفِيهَا النَّعْلُ فَفَتَلَهَا بِهَا ثُمَّ الْأُخْرَی مِثْلَ ذَلِکَ قَالَ قُلْتُ وَفِي النَّعْلَيْنِ قَالَ وَفِي النَّعْلَيْنِ قَالَ قُلْتُ وَفِي النَّعْلَيْنِ قَالَ وَفِي النَّعْلَيْنِ قَالَ قُلْتُ وَفِي النَّعْلَيْنِ قَالَ وَفِي النَّعْلَيْنِ قَالَ أَبُو دَاوُد وَحَدِيثُ ابْنِ جُرَيْجٍ عَنْ شَيْبَةَ يُشْبِهُ حَدِيثَ عَلِيٍّ لِأَنَّهُ قَالَ فِيهِ حَجَّاجُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ جُرَيْجٍ وَمَسَحَ بِرَأْسِهِ مَرَّةً وَاحِدَةً وَقَالَ ابْنُ وَهْبٍ فِيهِ عَنْ ابْنِ جُرَيْجٍ وَمَسَحَ بِرَأْسِهِ ثَلَاثًا

Ibn Abbas said: Ali bin Abi Talib entered upon me after he has passed water. He then called for water for ablution. We brought to him a vessel containing water, and placed it before him. He said: O IbnAbbas, may I not show you how the Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to perform ablution? I replied: Why not? He then inclined the vessel to his hand and washed it. He then put his right hand in the vessel and poured water over the other hand and washed his hands up to the wrist. He then rinsed his mouth and snuffed up water. He then put both of his hands together in the water and took out a handful of water and threw it upon the face. He then inserted both of his thumbs in the front part of the ears. He did like that twice and thrice. He then took a handful of water and poured it over his forehead and left it running down his face. He then washed his forearms up to the elbow three times. He then wiped his head and the back of his ears. He then put both of his hands together in the water and took a handful of it and threw it on his foot. He had a shoe foot like that. Do you wash your foot while it is in the shoe? He replied: Yes, while it is in the shoe. This question and answer were repeated thrice. Abu Dawud said: The version transmitted by Ibn Juraij from Shaibah is similar to the one narrated by Ali. In this version Hajjaj reported on the authority of Ibn Juraij the wording: He wiped his head once. Ibn Wahb narrated from Ibn Juraij the wording: he wiped his head three times.

ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ، ← عُبَيْدِ اللهِ الْخَوْلاَنِيِّ ← محمد بن طلحة بن يزيد بن ركانة ← مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ إِسْحَقَ ← مُحَمَّدٌ يَعْنِي ابْنَ سَلَمَةَ ← عَبْدُ الْعَزِيزِ بْنُ يَحْيَی الْحَرَّانِيُّ

حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مَسْلَمَةَ عَنْ مَالِکٍ عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ يَحْيَی الْمَازِنِيِّ عَنْ أَبِيهِ أَنَّهُ قَالَ لِعَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ زَيْدِ بْنِ عَاصِمٍ وَهُوَ جَدُّ عَمْرِو بْنِ يَحْيَی الْمَازِنِيِّ هَلْ تَسْتَطِيعُ أَنْ تُرِيَنِي کَيْفَ کَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَتَوَضَّأُ فَقَالَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ زَيْدٍ نَعَمْ فَدَعَا بِوَضُوئٍ فَأَفْرَغَ عَلَی يَدَيْهِ فَغَسَلَ يَدَيْهِ ثُمَّ تَمَضْمَضَ وَاسْتَنْثَرَ ثَلَاثًا ثُمَّ غَسَلَ وَجْهَهُ ثَلَاثًا ثُمَّ غَسَلَ يَدَيْهِ مَرَّتَيْنِ مَرَّتَيْنِ إِلَی الْمِرْفَقَيْنِ ثُمَّ مَسَحَ رَأْسَهُ بِيَدَيْهِ فَأَقْبَلَ بِهِمَا وَأَدْبَرَ بَدَأَ بِمُقَدَّمِ رَأْسِهِ ثُمَّ ذَهَبَ بِهِمَا إِلَی قَفَاهُ ثُمَّ رَدَّهُمَا حَتَّی رَجَعَ إِلَی الْمَکَانِ الَّذِي بَدَأَ مِنْهُ ثُمَّ غَسَلَ رِجْلَيْهِ

Amr bin Yahya al-Mazini reports on the authority of his father who asked Abdullah bin Zaid, the grandfather of Amr bin Yahya al-Mazini: Can you show me how the Messenger of Allah ﷺ performed ablution? Abdullah bin Zaid replied: Yes. He called for ablution water, poured it over his hands, and washed them; then he rinsed his mouth and snuffed up water in the nose three times; then he washed his face three times and washed his forearms up to elbow twice; then he wiped his head with both hands, moving them front and back of the head, beginning from his forehead, and moved them to the nape; then he pulled them back to the place from where he had started (wiping); then he washed his feet.

أَبِيهِ أَنَّهُ ← عَمْرِو بْنِ يَحْيَى الْمَازِنِيِّ، ← مَالِكٍ، ← عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ مَسْلَمَةَ،

حَدَّثَنَا مُسَدَّدٌ حَدَّثَنَا خَالِدٌ عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ يَحْيَی الْمَازِنِيِّ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ زَيْدِ بْنِ عَاصِمٍ بِهَذَا الْحَدِيثِ قَالَ فَمَضْمَضَ وَاسْتَنْشَقَ مِنْ کَفٍّ وَاحِدَةٍ يَفْعَلُ ذَلِکَ ثَلَاثًا ثُمَّ ذَکَرَ نَحْوَهُ

Abdullah bin Zaid bin Asim reported this tradition saying: He rinsed his mouth and snuffed up water from one hand, doing that three times.

نَحْوَهُ ← فَمَضْمَضَ وَاسْتَنْشَقَ مِنْ کَفٍّ وَاحِدَةٍ يَفْعَلُ ذَلِکَ ثَلَاثًا ثُمَّ ← عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ زَيْدِ بْنِ عَاصِمٍ بِهَذَا الْحَدِيثِ ← أَبِيهِ ← عَمْرِو بْنِ يَحْيَى الْمَازِنِيِّ، ← خَالِدٌ، ← مُسَدَّدٌ

حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ عَمْرِو بْنِ السَّرْحِ حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ وَهْبٍ عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ الْحَارِثِ أَنَّ حَبَّانَ بْنَ وَاسِعٍ حَدَّثَهُ أَنَّ أَبَاهُ حَدَّثَهُ أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ عَبْدَ اللَّهِ بْنَ زَيْدِ بْنِ عَاصِمٍ الْمَازِنِيَّ يَذْکُرُ أَنَّهُ رَأَی رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَذَکَرَ وُضُوئَهُ وَقَالَ وَمَسَحَ رَأْسَهُ بِمَائٍ غَيْرِ فَضْلِ يَدَيْهِ وَغَسَلَ رِجْلَيْهِ حَتَّی أَنْقَاهُمَا

Habban bin Wasi reported on the authority of his father who heard Abdullah bin Zaid al-Asim al-Mazini say that he saw the Messenger of Allah ﷺ performing ablution. He then described his ablution saying: He wiped his head with water which was not what was left over after washing his hands (i. e. he wiped his head with clean water); then he washed his feet until he cleansed them.

وُضُوئَهُ ← عَبْدَ اللَّهِ بْنَ زَيْدِ بْنِ عَاصِمٍ الْمَازِنِيَّ يَذْکُرُ أَنَّهُ رَأَی رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ← أَنَّهُ ← أَنَّ أَبَاهُ ← عمرو بن الحارث؛ أن حبان بن واسع ← ابْنُ وَهْبٍ، ← أَحْمَدُ بْنُ عَمْرِو بْنِ السَّرْحِ،

حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ حَنْبَلٍ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الْمُغِيرَةِ حَدَّثَنَا حَرِيزٌ حَدَّثَنِي عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ مَيْسَرَةَ الْحَضْرَمِيُّ سَمِعْتُ الْمِقْدَامَ بْنَ مَعْدِي کَرِبَ الْکِنْدِيَّ قَالَ أُتِيَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بِوَضُوئٍ فَتَوَضَّأَ فَغَسَلَ کَفَّيْهِ ثَلَاثًا ثُمَّ تَمَضْمَضَ وَاسْتَنْشَقَ ثَلَاثًا وَغَسَلَ وَجْهَهُ ثَلَاثًا ثُمَّ غَسَلَ ذِرَاعَيْهِ ثَلَاثًا ثَلَاثًا ثُمَّ مَسَحَ بِرَأْسِهِ وَأُذُنَيْهِ ظَاهِرِهِمَا وَبَاطِنِهِمَا

Narrated Al-Miqdam ibn Madikarib al-Kindi: The ablution water was brought to the Messenger ﷺ and he performed ablution; he washed his hands up to wrists three times, then washed his forearms three times. He then rinsed his mouth and snuffed up water three times; then he wiped his head and ears inside and outside.

الْمِقْدَامِ بْنِ مَعْدِي كَرِبَ الْكِنْدِيِّ ← عبد الرحمن بن ميسرة الحضرمي ← حَرِيزٌ ← أَبُو الْمُغِيرَةِ ← أَحْمَدُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ حَنْبَلٍ

Al-Miqdam bin Madikarib reported: 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.

الْمِقْدَامِ بْنِ مَعْدِي كَرِبَ، ← عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ مَيْسَرَةَ ← حَرِيزُ بْنُ عُثْمَانَ ← الْوَلِيدُ بْنُ مُسْلِمٍ، ← مَحْمُودُ بْنُ خَالِدٍ وَيَعْقُوبُ بْنُ کَعْبٍ الْأَنْطَاکِيُّ لَفْظُهُ

حَدَّثَنَا مَحْمُودُ بْنُ خَالِدٍ وَهِشَامُ بْنُ خَالِدٍ الْمَعْنَی قَالَا حَدَّثَنَا الْوَلِيدُ بِهَذَا الْإِسْنَادِ قَالَ وَمَسَحَ بِأُذُنَيْهِ ظَاهِرِهِمَا وَبَاطِنِهِمَا زَادَ هِشَامٌ وَأَدْخَلَ أَصَابِعَهُ فِي صِمَاخِ أُذُنَيْهِ

Another version says: He wiped his ears inside and outside. Hisham adds: He inserted his fingers in the ear-holes.

وَمَسَحَ بِأُذُنَيْهِ ظَاهِرِهِمَا وَبَاطِنِهِمَا زَادَ هِشَامٌ وَأَدْخَلَ أَصَابِعَهُ فِي صِمَاخِ أُذُنَيْهِ ← الْوَلِيدُ بِهَذَا الْإِسْنَادِ ← مَحْمُودُ بْنُ خَالِدٍ وَهِشَامُ بْنُ خَالِدٍ الْمَعْنَی

حَدَّثَنَا مُؤَمَّلُ بْنُ الْفَضْلِ الْحَرَّانِيُّ حَدَّثَنَا الْوَلِيدُ بْنُ مُسْلِمٍ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ الْعَلَائِ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الْأَزْهَرِ الْمُغِيرَةُ بْنُ فَرْوَةَ وَيَزِيدُ بْنُ أَبِي مَالِکٍ أَنَّ مُعَاوِيَةَ تَوَضَّأَ لِلنَّاسِ کَمَا رَأَی رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَتَوَضَّأُ فَلَمَّا بَلَغَ رَأْسَهُ غَرَفَ غَرْفَةً مِنْ مَائٍ فَتَلَقَّاهَا بِشِمَالِهِ حَتَّی وَضَعَهَا عَلَی وَسَطِ رَأْسِهِ حَتَّی قَطَرَ الْمَائُ أَوْ کَادَ يَقْطُرُ ثُمَّ مَسَحَ مِنْ مُقَدَّمِهِ إِلَی مُؤَخَّرِهِ وَمِنْ مُؤَخَّرِهِ إِلَی مُقَدَّمِهِ

Narrated Muawiyah: Abul Azhar al-Mughirah ibn Farwah and Yazid ibn Abu Malik reported: Muawiyah performed ablution before the people, as he saw the Messenger of Allah ﷺ performed ablution. When he reached the stage of wiping his head, he took a handful of water and poured it with his left hand over the middle of his head so much so that drops of water came down or almost came down. Then he wiped (his head) from its front to its back and from its back to its front.

عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ الْعَلَائِ ← الْوَلِيدُ بْنُ مُسْلِمٍ، ← مُؤَمَّلُ بْنُ الْفَضْلِ الْحَرَّانِيُّ
