حَدَّثَنَا مَرْوَانُ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْمَلِكِ بْنُ سَلْعٍ الْهَمْدَانِيُّ عَنْ عَبْدِ خَيْرٍ قَالَ عَلَّمَنَا عَلِيٌّ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ وُضُوءَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَصَبَّ الْغُلَامُ عَلَى يَدَيْهِ حَتَّى أَنْقَاهُمَا ثُمَّ أَدَخَلَ يَدَهُ فِي الرَّكْوَةِ فَمَضْمَضَ وَاسْتَنْشَقَ وَغَسَلَ وَجْهَهُ ثَلَاثًا ثَلَاثًا وَذِرَاعَيْهِ إِلَى الْمِرْفَقَيْنِ ثَلَاثًا ثَلَاثًا ثُمَّ أَدْخَلَ يَدَهُ فِي الرَّكْوَةِ فَغَمَرَ أَسْفَلَهَا بِيَدِهِ ثُمَّ أَخْرَجَهَا فَمَسَحَ بِهَا الْأُخْرَى ثُمَّ مَسَحَ بِكَفَّيْهِ رَأْسَهُ مَرَّةً ثُمَّ غَسَلَ رِجْلَيْهِ إِلَى الْكَعْبَيْنِ ثَلَاثًا ثَلَاثًا ثُمَّ اغْتَرَفَ هُنَيَّةً مِنْ مَاءٍ بِكَفِّهِ فَشَرِبَهُ ثُمَّ قَالَ هَكَذَا كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَتَوَضَّأُ
مسند امام احمد بن حنبل · Hadith 876
It was narrated that 'Abd Khair said: 'Ali (RA) taught us the wudoo' of the Messenger of Allah (PBUH). The slave poured water onto his hands and he rubbed them until they were clean. Then he put his hand in the small vessel and rinsed his mouth and nose, and he washed his face three times and his arms up to the elbows three times. Then he put his hand in the vessel and touched the bottom of it with his hand, then he took it out and wiped his other hand with it. Then he wiped his head with his palms once, then he washed his feet up to the ankles three times each. Then he took a little bit of water in his hand and drank it. Then he said: This is how the Messenger of Allah (PBUH) used to do wudoo'.
