حَدَّثَنَا عَائِذُ بْنُ حَبِيبٍ حَدَّثَنِي عَامِرُ بْنُ السِّمْطِ عَنْ أَبِي الْغَرِيفِ قَالَ أُتِيَ عَلِيٌّ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ بِوَضُوءٍ فَمَضْمَضَ وَاسْتَنْشَقَ ثَلَاثًا وَغَسَلَ وَجْهَهُ ثَلَاثًا وَغَسَلَ يَدَيْهِ وَذِرَاعَيْهِ ثَلَاثًا ثَلَاثًا ثُمَّ مَسَحَ بِرَأْسِهِ ثُمَّ غَسَلَ رِجْلَيْهِ ثُمَّ قَالَ هَكَذَا رَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ تَوَضَّأَ ثُمَّ قَرَأَ شَيْئًا مِنْ الْقُرْآنِ ثُمَّ قَالَ هَذَا لِمَنْ لَيْسَ بِجُنُبٍ فَأَمَّا الْجُنُبُ فَلَا وَلَا آيَةَ
مسند امام احمد بن حنبل · Hadith 872
It was narrated that Abul-Ghareef said: Some water for wudoo' was brought to 'Ali (RA). He rinsed his mouth and nose three times, and washed his face three times, and washed his hands and forearms three times. Then he wiped his head, then he washed his feet. Then he said: This is how I saw the Messenger of Allah (PBUH) do wudoo'. Then he recited some Qur'an. Then he said: This is for the one who is not junub; as for the one who is junub, no - (he should not recite), not even one verse.
