Musnad Ahmad 1316 (Book 5, Hadith 718) #34944
The Wudoo of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH).

SUMMARY: This hadith is about the importance of performing wudoo in the manner that Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) did, even if some people may not like it.

It was narrated that 'Abdul-Malik bin Maisarah said: I heard an-Nazzal bin Sabrah say: I saw 'Ali (رضي الله عنه) praying Zuhr, then he sat to listen to the people's needs. When the time for 'Asr came, a stone vessel of water was brought to him. He took a handful from it and wiped his face, forearms, head and feet. Then he took the leftover water and drank it whilst standing, and he said: Some people dislike this, but I saw the Messenger of Allah do it. And this is the wudoo’ of one who has not broken his wudoo’.
حَدَّثَنَا بَهْزٌ، حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الْمَلِكِ بْنِ مَيْسَرَةَ، قَالَ سَمِعْتُ النَّزَّالَ بْنَ سَبْرَةَ، قَالَ رَأَيْتُ عَلِيًّا رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ صَلَّى الظُّهْرَ ثُمَّ قَعَدَ لِحَوَائِجِ النَّاسِ فَلَمَّا حَضَرَتْ الْعَصْرُ أُتِيَ بِتَوْرٍ مِنْ مَاءٍ فَأَخَذَ مِنْهُ كَفًّا فَمَسَحَ وَجْهَهُ وَذِرَاعَيْهِ وَرَأْسَهُ وَرِجْلَيْهِ ثُمَّ أَخَذَ فَضْلَهُ فَشَرِبَ قَائِمًا وَقَالَ إِنَّ نَاسًا يَكْرَهُونَ هَذَا وَقَدْ رَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ يَفْعَلُهُ وَهَذَا وُضُوءُ مَنْ لَمْ يُحْدِثْ‏.‏

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about the importance of performing wudu in the manner that Prophet Muhammad did, even if some people may not like it. It was narrated by 'Abdul-Malik bin Maisarah and an-Nazzal bin Sabrah that they saw Ali praying Zuhr prayer and then sitting to listen to people's needs. When it was time for Asr prayer, a stone vessel with water was brought to him. He took a handful from it and wiped his face, forearms, head and feet with it before drinking what remained while standing up. He said that some people dislike this but he saw Prophet Muhammad doing this himself which means this is how one should perform wudu when they have not broken their ablution yet. This hadith teaches us to follow the sunnah of our beloved prophet even if others do not agree with us or find it strange because Allah knows best what is good for us in both worldly life as well as hereafter.
