أَخْبَرَنَا سُوَيْدُ بْنُ نَصْرٍ قَالَ أَنْبَأَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ وَهُوَ ابْنُ الْمُبَارَکِ عَنْ شُعْبَةَ عَنْ مَالِکِ بْنِ عُرْفُطَةَ عَنْ عَبْدِ خَيْرٍ عَنْ عَلِيٍّ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ أَنَّهُ أُتِيَ بِکُرْسِيٍّ فَقَعَدَ عَلَيْهِ ثُمَّ دَعَا بِتَوْرٍ فِيهِ مَائٌ فَکَفَأَ عَلَی يَدَيْهِ ثَلَاثًا ثُمَّ مَضْمَضَ وَاسْتَنْشَقَ بِکَفٍّ وَاحِدٍ ثَلَاثَ مَرَّاتٍ وَغَسَلَ وَجْهَهُ ثَلَاثًا وَغَسَلَ ذِرَاعَيْهِ ثَلَاثًا ثَلَاثًا وَأَخَذَ مِنْ الْمَائِ فَمَسَحَ بِرَأْسِهِ وَأَشَارَ شُعْبَةُ مَرَّةً مِنْ نَاصِيَتِهِ إِلَی مُؤَخَّرِ رَأْسِهِ ثُمَّ قَالَ لَا أَدْرِي أَرَدَّهُمَا أَمْ لَا وَغَسَلَ رِجْلَيْهِ ثَلَاثًا ثَلَاثًا ثُمَّ قَالَ مَنْ سَرَّهُ أَنْ يَنْظُرَ إِلَی طُهُورِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَهَذَا طُهُورُهُ و قَالَ أَبُو عَبْد الرَّحْمَنِ هَذَا خَطَأٌ وَالصَّوَابُ خَالِدُ بْنُ عَلْقَمَةَ لَيْسَ مَالِکَ بْنَ عُرْفُطَةَ
سنن نسائی · Hadith 94
It was narrated from ‘Abd Khair, that ‘Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) was brought a chair, and he sat down on it, then he called for a vessel of water which he tilted onto his hand three times, then he rinsed his mouth and nose with one hand, three times, he washed his face three times, washed each forearm three times, and took some of the water and wiped his head. On one occasion (One of the narrators) Shu’bah, indicated (that he wiped) from his forelock to the back of his head, then said: “I do not know whether he brought his hands back or not. And he washed each foot three times, then he said: ‘Whoever would like to see how the Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم purified himself, this is how he purified himself.” (Sahih) Abu ‘Abdur-Rahman said: “This is a mistake. What is correct is Khalid bin ‘Alqamah, not Malik bin ‘Urfutah.”
