Musnad Ahmad 1173, 1174 (Book 5, Hadith 585) #34811
The Wudu of Ali (RA)

SUMMARY: This hadith is about the wudu of Ali (RA) and how he performed it in accordance with the Sunnah of Prophet Muhammad (SAW).

It was narrated from an-Nazzal bin Sabrah that He saw 'Ali (رضي الله عنه) pray Zuhr, then he sat in ar-Rahbah to listen to people and see what they needed. When the time for 'Asr came, a stone vessel was brought to him. He took a scoop of water and wiped his hands, forearms, face, head and feet, then he drank the leftover water whilst standing. Then he said: Some people dislike drinking whilst standing, but the Messenger of Allah did what I have done, and this is the wudoo’ of one who has not broken his wudoo’. An-Nazzal bin Sabrah said. I heard 'Ali (رضي الله عنه). and he narrated a similar hadeeth, except that he said: An earthenware jar with a handle was brought to him.
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ، حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الْمَلِكِ بْنِ مَيْسَرَةَ، عَنِ النَّزَّالِ بْنِ سَبْرَةَ، أَنَّهُ شَهِدَ عَلِيًّا رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ صَلَّى الظُّهْرَ ثُمَّ جَلَسَ فِي الرَّحَبَةِ فِي حَوَائِجِ النَّاسِ فَلَمَّا حَضَرَتْ الْعَصْرُ أُتِيَ بِتَوْرٍ فَأَخَذَ حَفْنَةَ مَاءٍ فَمَسَحَ يَدَيْهِ وَذِرَاعَيْهِ وَوَجْهَهُ وَرَأْسَهُ وَرِجْلَيْهِ ثُمَّ شَرِبَ فَضْلَهُ وَهُوَ قَائِمٌ ثُمَّ قَالَ إِنَّ نَاسًا يَكْرَهُونَ أَنْ يَشْرَبُوا وَهُمْ قِيَامٌ وَإِنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَنَعَ كَمَا صَنَعْتُ وَهَذَا وُضُوءُ مَنْ لَمْ يُحْدِثْ. حَدَّثَنَا عَفَّانُ حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ أَنْبَأَنَا عَبْدُ الْمَلِكِ بْنُ مَيْسَرَةَ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ النَّزَّالَ بْنَ سَبْرَةَ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ عَلِيًّا رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ فَذَكَرَ مَعْنَاهُ إِلَّا أَنَّهُ قَالَ أُتِيَ بِكُوزٍ‏.‏

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith narrates an incident involving Ali ibn Abi Talib's wudhu. It was narrated by An-Nazzal bin Sabrah that he saw Ali praying Zuhr prayer and then sitting in ar-Rahbah to listen to people and see what they needed. When the time for 'Asr came, a stone vessel was brought to him. He took a scoop of water and wiped his hands, forearms, face, head and feet with it before drinking the leftover water whilst standing. He then said that some people dislike drinking whilst standing but that this is how Prophet Muhammad did his wudhu so this is how one should do their wudhu if they have not broken their ablution yet. This hadith teaches us about the importance of following the sunnah when performing our daily prayers as well as other acts such as ablution or wudhu which are essential for prayer. It also teaches us about being mindful of our actions even when we are alone or no one else is watching us because Allah knows all that we do even if no one else does.
