أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ آدَمَ عَنْ ابْنِ أَبِي زَائِدَةَ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي أَبِي وَغَيْرُهُ عَنْ أَبِي إِسْحَقَ عَنْ أَبِي حَيَّةَ الْوَادِعِيِّ قَالَ رَأَيْتُ عَلِيًّا تَوَضَّأَ فَغَسَلَ کَفَّيْهِ ثَلَاثًا وَتَمَضْمَضَ وَاسْتَنْشَقَ ثَلَاثًا وَغَسَلَ وَجْهَهُ ثَلَاثًا وَذِرَاعَيْهِ ثَلَاثًا ثَلَاثًا وَمَسَحَ بِرَأْسِهِ وَغَسَلَ رِجْلَيْهِ ثَلَاثًا ثَلَاثًا ثُمَّ قَالَ هَذَا وُضُوئُ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ
سنن نسائی · Hadith 116
It was narrated that Abu Hayyah Al-Wadi’i said: I saw ‘Ali performing Wudu He washed his hands three times, and rinsed his mouth three times and his nose three times, and he washed his face three times and each forearm three times. Then he wiped his head and washed each foot three times. Then he said: ‘This is the Wudu’ of the Prophet صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم.'' (Da’if)
