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
سنن ابودوٗد · Hadith 124
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.
