أَخْبَرَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ مَالِكٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ إِسْحَاقَ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ أَبِي طَلْحَةَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ أَنَسٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قال:‏‏‏‏ رَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَحَانَتْ صَلَاةُ الْعَصْرِ فَالْتَمَسَ النَّاسُ الْوَضُوءَ فَلَمْ يَجِدُوهُ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَأُتِيَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بِوَضُوءٍ فَوَضَعَ يَدَهُ فِي ذَلِكَ الْإِنَاءِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَأَمَرَ النَّاسَ أَنْ يَتَوَضَّئُوا فَرَأَيْتُ الْمَاءَ يَنْبُعُ مِنْ تَحْتِ أَصَابِعِهِ حَتَّى تَوَضَّئُوا مِنْ عِنْدِ آخِرِهِمْ .

I saw the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) when the time for 'Asr prayer had come. The people looked for (water for) Wudu' but they could not find any. Then some (water for) Wudu' was brought to the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ). He put his hand in that vessel and told the people to perform Wudu', and I saw water springing from beneath his fingers, until they had all performed Wudu'.

It was narrated that Anas رضی اللہ عنہ said

أَخْبَرَنَا إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قال:‏‏‏‏ أَنْبَأَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قال:‏‏‏‏ أَنْبَأَنَا سُفْيَانُ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ الْأَعْمَشِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ عَلْقَمَةَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قال:‏‏‏‏ كُنَّا مَعَ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَلَمْ يَجِدُوا مَاءً فَأُتِيَ بِتَوْرٍ فَأَدْخَلَ يَدَهُ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَلَقَدْ رَأَيْتُ الْمَاءَ يَتَفَجَّرُ مِنْ بَيْنِ أَصَابِعِهِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَيَقُولُ:‏‏‏‏ حَيَّ عَلَى الطَّهُورِ وَالْبَرَكَةِ مِنَ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ . قَالَ الْأَعْمَشُ:‏‏‏‏ فَحَدَّثَنِي سَالِمُ بْنُ أَبِي الْجَعْدِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ قُلْتُ لِجَابِرٍ:‏‏‏‏ كَمْ كُنْتُمْ يَوْمَئِذٍ ؟ قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ أَلْفٌ وَخَمْسُ مِائَةٍ.

We were with the Prophet (ﷺ) and they could not find any water. A vessel was brought to him and he put his hand in it, and I saw water springing from between his fingers. He said: 'Come to a means of purification and a blessing from Allah, may He be glorified.' (One of the narrators) Al-A'mash said: Salim bin Abi Al-Ja'd told me: I said to Jabir: How many were you that day?' He said: One thousand five hundred.

It was narrated that 'Abdullah رضی اللہ عنہ said

أَخْبَرَنَا إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قال:‏‏‏‏ أَنْبَأَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قال:‏‏‏‏ حَدَّثَنَا مَعْمَرٌ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ ثَابِتٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَقَتَادَةُ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ أَنَسٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قال:‏‏‏‏ طَلَبَ بَعْضُ أَصْحَابِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَضُوءًا، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ:‏‏‏‏ هَلْ مَعَ أَحَدٍ مِنْكُمْ مَاءٌ ؟ فَوَضَعَ يَدَهُ فِي الْمَاءِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَيَقُولُ:‏‏‏‏ تَوَضَّئُوا بِسْمِ اللَّهِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَرَأَيْتُ الْمَاءَ يَخْرُجُ مِنْ بَيْنِ أَصَابِعِهِ حَتَّى تَوَضَّئُوا مِنْ عِنْدِ آخِرِهِمْ . قَالَ ثَابِتٌ:‏‏‏‏ قُلْتُ لِأَنَسٍ:‏‏‏‏ كَمْ تُرَاهُمْ ؟ قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ نَحْوًا مِنْ سَبْعِينَ.

Some of the Companions of the Prophet (ﷺ) were looking for (water for) Wudu'. The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: 'Do any of you have water?' He put his hand in the water and said: 'Perform Wudu' in the Name of Allah.' I saw the water coming out from between his fingers until they had all performed Wudu'. Thabit said: I said to Anas: 'How many did you see?' He said: 'About seventy.'

It was narrated that Anas رضی اللہ عنہ said

أَخْبَرَنَا سُلَيْمَانُ بْنُ دَاوُدَ وَالْحَارِثُ بْنُ مِسْكِينٍ قِرَاءَةً عَلَيْهِ وَأَنَا أَسْمَعُ وَاللَّفْظُ لَهُ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ ابْنِ وَهْبٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ مَالِكٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَيُونُسَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَعَمْرِو بْنِ الْحَارِثِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏أَنَّ ابْنَ شِهَابٍ أَخْبَرَهُمْ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ عَبَّادِ بْنِ زِيَادٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ عُرْوَةَ بْنِ الْمُغِيرَةِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ أَبَاهُ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏يَقُولُ:‏‏‏‏ سَكَبْتُ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ حِينَ تَوَضَّأَ فِي غَزْوَةِ تَبُوكَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَمَسَحَ عَلَى الْخُفَّيْنِ . قَالَ أَبُو عَبْد الرَّحْمَنِ:‏‏‏‏ لَمْ يَذْكُرْ مَالِكٌ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عُرْوَةَ بْنَ الْمُغِيرَةِ.

He heard his father say: I poured water for the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) when he performed Wudu' during the battle of Tabuk, and he wiped over his Khuff.

It was narrated from 'Urwah bin Al-Mughirah رضی اللہ عنہ that

أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْمُثَنَّى، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قال:‏‏‏‏ حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ سُفْيَانَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قال:‏‏‏‏ حَدَّثَنَا زَيْدُ بْنُ أَسْلَمَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ عَطَاءِ بْنِ يَسَارٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قال:‏‏‏‏ أَلَا أُخْبِرُكُمْ بِوُضُوءِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ؟ فَتَوَضَّأَ مَرَّةً مَرَّةً .

Shall I not tell you of the Wudu' of the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ)? He performed Wudu' by washing each part of the body once.

It was narrated that Ibn 'Abbas رضی اللہ عنہم said

أَخْبَرَنَا سُوَيْدُ بْنُ نَصْرٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قال:‏‏‏‏ أَنْبَأَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ الْمُبَارَكِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قال:‏‏‏‏ أَنْبَأَنَا الْأَوْزَاعِيُّ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قال:‏‏‏‏ حَدَّثَنِي الْمُطَّلِبُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ حَنْطَبٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏أَنَّ عَبْدَ اللَّهِ بْنَ عُمَرَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏ تَوَضَّأَ ثَلَاثًا ثَلَاثًا . يُسْنَدُ ذَلِكَ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ.

'Abdullah bin 'Umar رضی اللہ عنہم performed Wudu', washing each part of the body three times, and he attributed that to the Prophet (ﷺ).

Al-Muttalib bin 'Abdullah bin Hantab (narrated) that

أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ الْبَصْرِيُّ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ بِشْرِ بْنِ الْمُفَضَّلِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ ابْنِ عَوْنٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ عَامِرٍ الشَّعْبِيِّ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ عُرْوَةَ بْنِ الْمُغِيرَةِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ الْمُغِيرَةِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَعَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ سِيرِينَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ رَجُلٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏حَتَّى رَدَّهُ إِلَى الْمُغِيرَةِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قال ابْنُ عَوْنٍ:‏‏‏‏ وَلَا أَحْفَظُ حَدِيثَ ذَا مِنْ حَدِيثِ ذَا، ‏‏‏‏‏‏أَنَّ الْمُغِيرَةَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قال:‏‏‏‏ كُنَّا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِي سَفَرٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَقَرَعَ ظَهْرِي بِعَصًا كَانَتْ مَعَهُ فَعَدَلَ وَعَدَلْتُ مَعَهُ حَتَّى أَتَى كَذَا وَكَذَا مِنَ الْأَرْضِ فَأَنَاخَ ثُمَّ انْطَلَقَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ فَذَهَبَ حَتَّى تَوَارَى عَنِّي، ‏‏‏‏‏‏ثُمَّ جَاءَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَقَالَ:‏‏‏‏ أَمَعَكَ مَاءٌ ؟ وَمَعِي سَطِيحَةٌ لِي، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَأَتَيْتُهُ بِهَا فَأَفْرَغْتُ عَلَيْهِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَغَسَلَ يَدَيْهِ وَوَجْهَهُ وَذَهَبَ لِيَغْسِلَ ذِرَاعَيْهِ وَعَلَيْهِ جُبَّةٌ شَامِيَّةٌ ضَيِّقَةُ الْكُمَّيْنِ فَأَخْرَجَ يَدَهُ مِنْ تَحْتِ الْجُبَّةِ فَغَسَلَ وَجْهَهُ وَذِرَاعَيْهِ وَذَكَرَ مِنْ نَاصِيَتِهِ شَيْئًا وَعِمَامَتِهِ شَيْئًا، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ ابْنُ عَوْنٍ:‏‏‏‏ لَا أَحْفَظُ كَمَا أُرِيدُ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏ثُمَّ مَسَحَ عَلَى خُفَّيْهِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏ثُمَّ قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ حَاجَتَكَ ؟ قُلْتُ:‏‏‏‏ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏لَيْسَتْ لِي حَاجَةٌ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَجِئْنَا وَقَدْ أَمَّ النَّاسَ عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ عَوْفٍ وَقَدْ صَلَّى بِهِمْ رَكْعَةً مِنْ صَلَاةِ الصُّبْحِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَذَهَبْتُ لِأُوذِنَهُ فَنَهَانِي، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَصَلَّيْنَا مَا أَدْرَكْنَا وَقَضَيْنَا مَا سُبِقْنَا .

We were with the Prophet (ﷺ) on a journey, and he tapped me on the back with a stick he had with him, then he turned off (route) and I turned off with him until he came to such and such an area. Then he made his camel stop and went away until he disappeared from me, then he came back and said: 'Do you have water with you?' I had a water skin with me, so I brought it out and poured it for him. He washed his hands and face and began to wash his arms, but he was wearing a Syrian Jubbah[1] that had narrow sleeves, so he brought his arms out from beneath the Jubbah and washed his hands and arms, and wiped his forelock a little and his turban a little. - Ibn 'Awn said: I cannot remember it well - then he wiped over his Khuffs. Then he said: 'What do you need?' I said: 'O Messenger of Allah, I do not need anything.' Then we came and 'Abdur-Rahman bin 'Awf was leading the people in Salah, and he had led them in one Rak'ah of the Subh (Fajr) prayer. I wanted to tell him that the Prophet (ﷺ) had arrived but he did not let me, so we prayed what we had caught up with and made up what we had missed.' [1] It is a type of cloak.

Al-Mughirah رضی اللہ عنہ said

أَخْبَرَنَا حُمَيْدُ بْنُ مَسْعَدَةَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ سُفْيَانَ وَهُوَ ابْنُ حَبِيبٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ شُعْبَةَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ النُّعْمَانِ بْنِ سَالِمٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ ابْنِ أَوْسِ بْنِ أَبِي أَوْسٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ جَدِّهِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قال:‏‏‏‏ رَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ اسْتَوْكَفَ ثَلَاثًا .

I saw the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) trickle water into his hand until it started to drip from his hand, three times.

It was narrated from (Aws bin) Abi Aws رضی اللہ عنہ that his grandfather said

أَخْبَرَنَا سُوَيْدُ بْنُ نَصْرٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قال:‏‏‏‏ أَنْبَأَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ مَعْمَرٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ الزُّهْرِيِّ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ عَطَاءِ بْنِ يَزِيدَ اللَّيْثِيِّ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ حُمْرَانَ بْنِ أَبَانَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قال:‏‏‏‏ رَأَيْتُ عُثْمَانَ بْنَ عَفَّانَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ تَوَضَّأَ فَأَفْرَغَ عَلَى يَدَيْهِ ثَلَاثًا فَغَسَلَهُمَا ثُمَّ تَمَضْمَضَ وَاسْتَنْشَقَ ثُمَّ غَسَلَ وَجْهَهُ ثَلَاثًا ثُمَّ غَسَلَ يَدَيْهِ الْيُمْنَى إِلَى الْمِرْفَقِ ثَلَاثًا ثُمَّ الْيُسْرَى مِثْلَ ذَلِكَ ثُمَّ مَسَحَ بِرَأْسِهِ ثُمَّ غَسَلَ قَدَمَهُ الْيُمْنَى ثَلَاثًا ثُمَّ الْيُسْرَى مِثْلَ ذَلِكَ. ثُمَّ قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ رَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ تَوَضَّأَ نَحْوَ وُضُوئِي. ثُمَّ قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ مَنْ تَوَضَّأَ نَحْوَ وُضُوئِي هَذَا ثُمَّ صَلَّى رَكْعَتَيْنِ لَا يُحَدِّثُ نَفْسَهُ فِيهِمَا بِشَيْءٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏غُفِرَ لَهُ مَا تَقَدَّمَ مِنْ ذَنْبِهِ .

I saw 'Uthman bin 'Affan رضی اللہ عنہ, may Allah be pleased with him, performing Wudu'. He poured water on his hands three times and washed them, then he rinsed his mouth and his nose, then he washed his face three times, then he washed his right arm to the elbow three times, then the left likewise. Then he wiped his head, then he washed his right foot three times, then the left likewise. Then he said: 'I saw the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) performing Wudu' like I have just done. Then he said: 'Whoever performs Wudu' as I have done, then prays two rak'ahs without letting his thoughts wander, his previous sins will be forgiven.'

It was narrated that Humran bin Aban said

أَخْبَرَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ الْمُغِيرَةِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قال:‏‏‏‏ حَدَّثَنَا عُثْمَانُ هُوَ ابْنُ سَعِيدِ بْنِ كَثِيرِ بْنِ دِينَارٍ الْحِمْصِيُّ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ شُعَيْبٍ هُوَ ابْنُ أبِي حَمْزَةَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ الزُّهْرِيِّ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏أَخْبَرَنِي عَطَاءُ بْنُ يَزِيدَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ حُمْرَانَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏أَنَّهُ رَأَى عُثْمَانَ دَعَا بِوَضُوءٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَأَفْرَغَ عَلَى يَدَيْهِ مِنْ إِنَائِهِ فَغَسَلَهَا ثَلَاثَ مَرَّاتٍ ثُمَّ أَدْخَلَ يَمِينَهُ فِي الْوَضُوءِ فَتَمَضْمَضَ وَاسْتَنْشَقَ ثُمَّ غَسَلَ وَجْهَهُ ثَلَاثًا وَيَدَيْهِ إِلَى الْمِرْفَقَيْنِ ثَلَاثَ مَرَّاتٍ ثُمَّ مَسَحَ بِرَأْسِهِ ثُمَّ غَسَلَ كُلَّ رِجْلٍ مِنْ رِجْلَيْهِ ثَلَاثَ مَرَّاتٍ. ثُمَّ قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ رَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ تَوَضَّأَ وُضُوئِي هَذَا، ‏‏‏‏‏‏ثُمَّ قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ مَنْ تَوَضَّأَ مِثْلَ وُضُوئِي هَذَا ثُمَّ قَامَ فَصَلَّى رَكْعَتَيْنِ لَا يُحَدِّثُ فِيهِمَا نَفْسَهُ بِشَيْءٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏غَفَرَ اللَّهُ لَهُ مَا تَقَدَّمَ مِنْ ذَنْبِهِ .

He saw 'Uthman call for (water for) Wudu', then he poured water on his hands from the vessel and washed them three times. Then he put his right hand in the water and rinsed his mouth and his nose. Then he washed his face three times, and his arms up to the elbow three times. Then he wiped his head, and washed each of his feet three times. Then he said: I saw the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) performing Wudu' like I have just done. Then he said: Whoever performs Wudu' as I have done, then stands and prays two Rak'ahs without letting his thoughts wander, his previous sins will be forgiven.'

It was narrated from Humran that

أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ مَنْصُورٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قال:‏‏‏‏ حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قال:‏‏‏‏ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الزِّنَادِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏ح وحَدَّثَنَا الْحُسَيْنُ بْنُ عِيسَى، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ مَعْنٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ مَالِكٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ أَبِي الزِّنَادِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ الْأَعْرَجِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏أَنّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ إِذَا تَوَضَّأَ أَحَدُكُمْ فَلْيَجْعَلْ فِي أَنْفِهِ مَاءً ثُمَّ لِيَسْتَنْثِرْ .

The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: When any one of you performs Wudu', let him put water in his nose then blow it out.

It was narrated from Abu Hurairah رضی اللہ عنہ that

أَخْبَرَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قال:‏‏‏‏ حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ سُلَيْمٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ إِسْمَاعِيلَ بْنِ كَثِيرٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏ح وَأَنْبَأَنَا إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قال:‏‏‏‏ أَنْبَأَنَا وَكِيعٌ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ سُفْيَانَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ أَبِي هَاشِمٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ عَاصِمِ بْنِ لَقِيطِ بْنِ صَبْرَةَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ أَبِيهِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قال:‏‏‏‏ قُلْتُ:‏‏‏‏ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏أَخْبِرْنِي عَنِ الْوُضُوءِ. قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ أَسْبِغْ الْوُضُوءَ وَبَالِغْ فِي الِاسْتِنْشَاقِ إِلَّا أَنْ تَكُونَ صَائِمًا .

I said: 'O Messenger of Allah, tell me about Wudu. He said: 'Perform Wudu' well,[1] and exxagerate in sniffing water up into your nose, except when you are fasting.' [1]See No. 141

It was narrated from 'Asim bin Laqit bin Sabirah رضی اللہ عنہ that his father said

أَخْبَرَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ مَالِكٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏ح وحَدَّثَنَا إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ مَنْصُورٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قال:‏‏‏‏ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ مَالِكٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ أَبِي إِدْرِيسَ الْخَوْلَانِيِّ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏أَنّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ مَنْ تَوَضَّأَ فَلْيَسْتَنْثِرْ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَمَنِ اسْتَجْمَرَ فَلْيُوتِرْ .

The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: Whoever performs Wudu' then let him sniff water in the nose and blow it out, and whoever uses small stones (to remove filth) then make it odd (numbered).

It was narrated from Abu Hurairah رضی اللہ عنہ that

أَخْبَرَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قال:‏‏‏‏ حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادٌ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ مَنْصُورٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ هِلَالِ بْنِ يَسَافٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ سَلَمَةَ بْنِ قَيْسٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏أَنّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ إِذَا تَوَضَّأْتَ فَاسْتَنْثِرْ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَإِذَا اسْتَجْمَرْتَ فَأَوْتِرْ .

The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: When you perform Wudu', sniff water in your nose and blow it out, and when you use small stones (to remove filth), then make it off (numbered).

It was narrated from Salamah bin Qais رضی اللہ عنہ that

أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ زُنْبُورٍ الْمَكِّيُّ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قال:‏‏‏‏ حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ أَبِي حَازِمٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ يَزِيدَ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏أَنَّ مُحَمَّدَ بْنَ إِبْرَاهِيمَ حَدَّثَهُ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ عِيسَى بْنِ طَلْحَةَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ إِذَا اسْتَيْقَظَ أَحَدُكُمْ مِنْ مَنَامِهِ فَتَوَضَّأَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَلْيَسْتَنْثِرْ ثَلَاثَ مَرَّاتٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَإِنَّ الشَّيْطَانَ يَبِيتُ عَلَى خَيْشُومِهِ .

The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: When any one of you wakes from sleep to perform Wudu', then let him sniff water in his nose and blow it out three times, for the Shaitan spends the night on his nose.

It was narrated from Abu Hurairah رضی اللہ عنہ that

أَخْبَرَنَا مُوسَى بْنُ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قال:‏‏‏‏ حَدَّثَنَا حُسَيْنُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ زَائِدَةَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قال:‏‏‏‏ حَدَّثَنَا خَالِدُ بْنُ عَلْقَمَةَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ عَبْدِ خَيْرٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ عَلِيٍّ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏أَنَّهُ دَعَا بِوَضُوءٍ فَتَمَضْمَضَ وَاسْتَنْشَقَ وَنَثَرَ بِيَدِهِ الْيُسْرَى، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَفَعَلَ هَذَا ثَلَاثًا. ثُمَّ قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ هَذَا طُهُورُ نَبِيِّ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ .

He called for (water for) Wudu', then he rinsed his mouth and nose, and he sniffed up water and blew it out using his left hand. He did that three times, then he said: This is how the Prophet of Allah (ﷺ) purified himself.

It was narrated that 'Ali رضی اللہ عنہ

أَخْبَرَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قال:‏‏‏‏ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو عَوَانَةَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ خَالِدِ بْنِ عَلْقَمَةَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ عَبْدِ خَيْرٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قال:‏‏‏‏ أَتَيْنَا عَلِيَّ بْنَ أَبِي طَالِبٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ وَقَدْ صَلَّى فَدَعَا بِطَهُورٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَقُلْنَا:‏‏‏‏ مَا يَصْنَعُ بِهِ وَقَدْ صَلَّى مَا يُرِيدُ إِلَّا لِيُعَلِّمَنَا، ‏‏‏‏‏‏ فَأُتِيَ بِإِنَاءٍ فِيهِ مَاءٌ وَطَسْتٍ فَأَفْرَغَ مِنَ الْإِنَاءِ عَلَى يَدَيْهِ فَغَسَلَهَا ثَلَاثًا، ‏‏‏‏‏‏ثُمَّ تَمَضْمَضَ وَاسْتَنْشَقَ ثَلَاثًا مِنَ الْكَفِّ الَّذِي يَأْخُذُ بِهِ الْمَاءَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏ثُمَّ غَسَلَ وَجْهَهُ ثَلَاثًا، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَغَسَلَ يَدَهُ الْيُمْنَى ثَلَاثًا وَيَدَهُ الشِّمَالَ ثَلَاثًا، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَمَسَحَ بِرَأْسِهِ مَرَّةً وَاحِدَةً، ‏‏‏‏‏‏ثُمَّ غَسَلَ رِجْلَهُ الْيُمْنَى ثَلَاثًا وَرِجْلَهُ الشِّمَالَ ثَلَاثًا . ثُمَّ قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ مَنْ سَرَّهُ أَنْ يَعْلَمَ وُضُوءَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَهُوَ هَذَا.

We came to 'Ali bin Abi Talib رضی اللہ عنہ, may Allah be pleased with him, and he had prayed. He called for water and we said: 'What is he going to do with it when he has (already) prayed? He only wants to teach us.' A vessel of water and a basin were brought to him. He poured some water onto his hand and washed it three times, then he rinsed his mouth and nose three times from the hand with which he took the water. Then he washed his face three times, and he washed his right hand three times, and his left hand three times, and wiped his head once, then he washed his right foot three times and his left foot three times. Then he said: 'Whoever would like to learn how the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) did Wudu', this is it.'

It was narrated that 'Abd Khair said

أَخْبَرَنَا سُوَيْدُ بْنُ نَصْرٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قال:‏‏‏‏ أَنْبَأَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ وَهُوَ ابْنُ الْمُبَارَكِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ شُعْبَةَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ مَالِكِ بْنِ عُرْفُطَةَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ عَبْدِ خَيْرٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ عَلِيٍّ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏أَنَّهُ أُتِيَ بِكُرْسِيٍّ فَقَعَدَ عَلَيْهِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏ثُمَّ دَعَا بِتَوْرٍ فِيهِ مَاءٌ فَكَفَأَ عَلَى يَدَيْهِ ثَلَاثًا، ‏‏‏‏‏‏ثُمَّ مَضْمَضَ وَاسْتَنْشَقَ بِكَفٍّ وَاحِدٍ ثَلَاثَ مَرَّاتٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَغَسَلَ وَجْهَهُ ثَلَاثًا، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَغَسَلَ ذِرَاعَيْهِ ثَلَاثًا ثَلَاثًا، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَأَخَذَ مِنَ الْمَاءِ فَمَسَحَ بِرَأْسِهِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَأَشَارَ شُعْبَةُ مَرَّةً مِنْ نَاصِيَتِهِ إِلَى مُؤَخَّرِ رَأْسِهِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏ثُمَّ قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ لَا أَدْرِي أَرَدَّهُمَا أَمْ لَا، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَغَسَلَ رِجْلَيْهِ ثَلَاثًا ثَلَاثًا . ثُمَّ قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ مَنْ سَرَّهُ أَنْ يَنْظُرَ إِلَى طُهُورِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَهَذَا طُهُورُهُ. وقَالَ أَبُو عَبْد الرَّحْمَنِ:‏‏‏‏ هَذَا خَطَأٌ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَالصَّوَابُ خَالِدُ بْنُ عَلْقَمَةَ لَيْسَ مَالِكَ بْنَ عُرْفُطَةَ.

He 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. One 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 (ﷺ) purified himself, this is how he purified himself.' Abu 'Abdur-Rahman said: This is a mistake. What is correct is Khalid bin 'Alqamah, not Malik bin 'Urfutah.

It was narrated from 'Abd Khair, that 'Ali (رضی اللہ عنہ)

أَخْبَرَنَا عَمْرُو بْنُ عَلِيٍّ وَحُمَيْدُ بْنُ مَسْعَدَةَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ يَزِيدَ وَهُوَ ابْنُ زُرَيْعٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قال:‏‏‏‏ حَدَّثَنِي شُعْبَةُ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ مَالِكِ بْنِ عُرْفُطَةَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ عَبْدِ خَيْرٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قال:‏‏‏‏ شَهِدْتُ عَلِيًّا دَعَا بِكُرْسِيٍّ فَقَعَدَ عَلَيْهِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏ثُمَّ دَعَا بِمَاءٍ فِي تَوْرٍ فَغَسَلَ يَدَيْهِ ثَلَاثًا، ‏‏‏‏‏‏ثُمَّ مَضْمَضَ وَاسْتَنْشَقَ بِكَفٍّ وَاحِدٍ ثَلَاثًا، ‏‏‏‏‏‏ثُمَّ غَسَلَ وَجْهَهُ ثَلَاثًا، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَيَدَيْهِ ثَلَاثًا ثَلَاثًا، ‏‏‏‏‏‏ثُمَّ غَمَسَ يَدَهُ فِي الْإِنَاءِ فَمَسَحَ بِرَأْسِهِ ثُمَّ غَسَلَ رِجْلَيْهِ ثَلَاثًا ثَلَاثًا . ثُمَّ قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ مَنْ سَرَّهُ أَنْ يَنْظُرَ إِلَى وُضُوءِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَهَذَا وُضُوءُهُ.

I saw 'Ali رضی اللہ عنہ call for a chair and he sat down, then he called for water in a vessel and washed his hands three times, then he rinsed his mouth and nose with one hand, three times. Then he washed his face three times, and his hands three times. Then he dipped his hand in the vessel and wiped his head, then he washed each foot three times. Then he said: 'Whoever would like to see how the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) performed Wudu', this is his Wudu'.'

It was narrated that 'Abd Khair said

أَخْبَرَنَا إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ الْحَسَنِ الْمِقْسَمِيُّ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قال:‏‏‏‏ أَنْبَأَنَا حَجَّاجٌ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قال:‏‏‏‏ قال ابْنُ جُرَيْجٍ:‏‏‏‏ حَدَّثَنِي شَيْبَةُ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏أَنَّ مُحَمَّدَ بْنَ عَلِيٍّ أَخْبَرَهُ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قال:‏‏‏‏ أَخْبَرَنِي أَبِي عَلِيٌّ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏أَنَّ الْحُسَيْنَ بْنَ عَلِيٍّ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قال:‏‏‏‏ دَعَانِي أَبِي عَلِيٌّ بِوَضُوءٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَقَرَّبْتُهُ لَهُ فَبَدَأَ فَغَسَلَ كَفَّيْهِ ثَلَاثَ مَرَّاتٍ قَبْلَ أَنْ يُدْخِلَهُمَا فِي وَضُوئِهِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏ثُمَّ مَضْمَضَ ثَلَاثًا وَاسْتَنْثَرَ ثَلَاثًا، ‏‏‏‏‏‏ثُمَّ غَسَلَ وَجْهَهُ ثَلَاثَ مَرَّاتٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏ثُمَّ غَسَلَ يَدَهُ الْيُمْنَى إِلَى الْمِرْفَقِ ثَلَاثًا ثُمَّ الْيُسْرَى كَذَلِكَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏ثُمَّ مَسَحَ بِرَأْسِهِ مَسْحَةً وَاحِدَةً، ‏‏‏‏‏‏ثُمَّ غَسَلَ رِجْلَهُ الْيُمْنَى إِلَى الْكَعْبَيْنِ ثَلَاثًا ثُمَّ الْيُسْرَى كَذَلِكَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏ثُمَّ قَامَ قَائِمًا، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَقَالَ:‏‏‏‏ نَاوِلْنِي، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَنَاوَلْتُهُ الْإِنَاءَ الَّذِي فِيهِ فَضْلُ وَضُوئِهِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَشَرِبَ مِنْ فَضْلِ وَضُوئِهِ قَائِمًا . فَعَجِبْتُ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَلَمَّا رَآنِي، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ لَا تَعْجَبْ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَإِنِّي رَأَيْتُ أَبَاكَ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَصْنَعُ مِثْلَ مَا رَأَيْتَنِي صَنَعْتُ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏يَقُولُ:‏‏‏‏ لِوُضُوئِهِ هَذَا وَشُرْبِ فَضْلِ وَضُوئِهِ قَائِمًا.

My father 'Ali رضی اللہ عنہ called me to bring (water for) Wudu', so I brought it to him, and he started by washing his hands three times, before putting them into the water. Then he rinsed his mouth three times and sniffed water into his nose and blew it out three times. Then he washed his face three times, then his right hand up to the elbow three times, then his left likewise. Then he wiped his head once then he washed his right foot up to the ankle three times, then the left likewise. Then he stood up and said: 'Pass me the vessel.' So I passed the vessel containing the remaining water for his Wudu' to him, and he drank from it standing up. I was surprised and when he noticed that he said: 'Do not be surprised, for I saw your father the Prophet (ﷺ) doing,' referring to his Wudu' and drinking the leftover water while standing.

Al-Husain bin 'Ali رضی اللہ عنہ said

أَخْبَرَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قال:‏‏‏‏ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الْأَحْوَصِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ أَبِي حَيَّةَ وَهُوَ ابْنُ قَيْسٍ قال:‏‏‏‏ رَأَيْتُ عَلِيًّارَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ تَوَضَّأَ فَغَسَلَ كَفَّيْهِ حَتَّى أَنْقَاهُمَا ثُمَّ تَمَضْمَضَ ثَلَاثًا وَاسْتَنْشَقَ ثَلَاثًا وَغَسَلَ وَجْهَهُ ثَلَاثًا وَغَسَلَ ذِرَاعَيْهِ ثَلَاثًا ثَلَاثًا ثُمَّ مَسَحَ بِرَأْسِهِ ثُمَّ غَسَلَ قَدَمَيْهِ إِلَى الْكَعْبَيْنِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏ثُمَّ قَامَ فَأَخَذَ فَضْلَ طَهُورِهِ فَشَرِبَ وَهُوَ قَائِمٌ . ثُمَّ قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ أَحْبَبْتُ أَنْ أُرِيَكُمْ كَيْفَ طُهُورُ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ.

I saw 'Ali رضی اللہ عنہ perform Wudu'. He washed his hands until they looked clean, then he rinsed his mouth three times and his nose three times, and he washed each forearm three times. Then he wiped his head, then he washed his feet up to the ankles. Then he stood up, took the left over water for his Wudu' and drank from it while standing. Then he said: 'I wanted to show you how the Prophet (ﷺ) performed Wudu'.'

It was narrated that Abu Hayyah - Ibn Qais - said

أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ وَالْحَارِثُ بْنُ مِسْكِينٍ قِرَاءَةً عَلَيْهِ وَأَنَا أَسْمَعُ وَاللَّفْظُ لَهُ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ ابْنِ الْقَاسِمِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قال:‏‏‏‏ حَدَّثَنِي مَالِكٌ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ يَحْيَى الْمَازِنِيِّ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ أَبِيهِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏أَنَّهُ قَالَ لِعَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ زَيْدِ بْنِ عَاصِمٍ وَكَانَ مِنْ أَصْحَابِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَهُوَ جَدُّ عَمْرِو بْنِ يَحْيَى:‏‏‏‏ هَلْ تَسْتَطِيعُ أَنْ تُرِيَنِي كَيْفَ كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَتَوَضَّأُ ؟ قَالَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ زَيْدٍ:‏‏‏‏ نَعَمْ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏ فَدَعَا بِوَضُوءٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَأَفْرَغَ عَلَى يَدَيْهِ فَغَسَلَ يَدَيْهِ مَرَّتَيْنِ مَرَّتَيْنِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏ثُمَّ تَمَضْمَضَ وَاسْتَنْشَقَ ثَلَاثًا، ‏‏‏‏‏‏ثُمَّ غَسَلَ وَجْهَهُ ثَلَاثًا، ‏‏‏‏‏‏ثُمَّ غَسَلَ يَدَيْهِ مَرَّتَيْنِ مَرَّتَيْنِ إِلَى الْمِرْفَقَيْنِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏ثُمَّ مَسَحَ رَأْسَهُ بِيَدَيْهِ فَأَقْبَلَ بِهِمَا وَأَدْبَرَ بَدَأَ بِمُقَدَّمِ رَأْسِهِ ثُمَّ ذَهَبَ بِهِمَا إِلَى قَفَاهُ ثُمَّ رَدَّهُمَا حَتَّى رَجَعَ إِلَى الْمَكَانِ الَّذِي بَدَأَ مِنْهُ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏ثُمَّ غَسَلَ رِجْلَيْهِ .

He said to 'Abdullah bin Zaid bin 'Asim رضی اللہ عنہ - who was one of the Companions of the Prophet (ﷺ) and the grandfather of 'Amr bin Yahya: Can you show me how the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) used to perform Wudu'? 'Abdullah bin Zaid رضی اللہ عنہ said: Yes. He called for (water for) Wudu' and poured some onto his hand, washing each hand twice. Then he rinsed his mouth and nose three times, then he washed his face three times, then he washed each hand twice, up to the elbow. Then he wiped his head with his hands, back and forth, starting at the front of his head and moving his hands to the nape of his neck, then bringing them back to the place he started. Then he washed his feet.

It was narrated from 'Amr bin Yahya Al-Mazini that his father

I saw the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) perform Wudu'; he washed his face three times and his hands twice, he washed his feet twice and wiped his head twice.

It was narrated that 'Abdullah bin Zaid رضی اللہ عنہ who was shown the call to prayer (in a dream), said

أَخْبَرَنَا الْحُسَيْنُ بْنُ حُرَيْثٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قال:‏‏‏‏ حَدَّثَنَا الْفَضْلُ بْنُ مُوسَى، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ جُعَيْدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قال:‏‏‏‏ أَخْبَرَنِي عَبْدُ الْمَلِكِ بْنُ مَرْوَانَ بْنِ الْحَارِثِ بْنِ أَبِي ذُنَابٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قال:‏‏‏‏ أَخْبَرَنِي أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ سَالِمٌ سَبَلَانُ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قال:‏‏‏‏ وَكَانَتْ عَائِشَةُ تَسْتَعْجِبُ بِأَمَانَتِهِ وَتَسْتَأْجِرُهُ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَأَرَتْنِي كَيْفَ كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَتَوَضَّأُ فَتَمَضْمَضَتْ وَاسْتَنْثَرَتْ ثَلَاثًا، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَغَسَلَتْ وَجْهَهَا ثَلَاثًا، ‏‏‏‏‏‏ثُمَّ غَسَلَتْ يَدَهَا الْيُمْنَى ثَلَاثًا وَالْيُسْرَى ثَلَاثًا، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَوَضَعَتْ يَدَهَا فِي مُقَدَّمِ رَأْسِهَا ثُمَّ مَسَحَتْ رَأْسَهَا مَسْحَةً وَاحِدَةً إِلَى مُؤَخِّرِهِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏ثُمَّ أَمَرَّتْ يَديْهَا بِأُذُنَيْهَا، ‏‏‏‏‏‏ثُمَّ مَرَّتْ عَلَى الْخَدَّيْنِ . قَالَ سَالِمٌ:‏‏‏‏ كُنْتُ آتِيهَا مُكَاتَبًا مَا تَخْتَفِي مِنِّي فَتَجْلِسُ بَيْنَ يَدَيَّ وَتَتَحَدَّثُ مَعِي حَتَّى جِئْتُهَا ذَاتَ يَوْمٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَقُلْتُ:‏‏‏‏ ادْعِي لِي بِالْبَرَكَةِ يَا أُمَّ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَتْ:‏‏‏‏ وَمَا ذَاكَ ؟ قُلْتُ:‏‏‏‏ أَعْتَقَنِي اللَّهُ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَتْ:‏‏‏‏ بَارَكَ اللَّهُ لَكَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَأَرْخَتِ الْحِجَابَ دُونِي فَلَمْ أَرَهَا بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ الْيَوْمِ.

'Aishah رضی اللہ عنہا liked my honesty and hired me, and she رضی اللہ عنہا showed me how the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) used to perform Wudu'. She rinsed her mouth, sniffed water into her nose and blew it out three times, and washed her face three times. Then she washed her right hand three times and her left hand three times. Then she put her hand on the front of her head and wiped her head once, front to back. Then she rubbed her ears with her hands, then she passed her hands over her cheeks. Salim said: I came to her as a slave with a contract of manumission, and she did not hide herself from me. She would sit before me and talk to me, until I came to her one day and said: 'Pray for blessing for me, O Mother of Believers.' She said: 'Why is that?' I said: 'Allah has set me free.' She said: 'May Allah bless you.' Then she lowered the Hijab before me, and I never saw her again after that day.
