The Wudoo of the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him).

SUMMARY: This hadith explains the wudoo of the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) and how 'Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) demonstrated it to teach others.

lt was narrated thal 'Abd Khair said: I came to 'Ali (رضي الله عنه) and he had prayed. He called for water for wudoo’. We said: What is he going to do with water when he has just prayed? He can only want to teach us something. A large vessel and a small vessel were brought to him. He lifted the small vessel and poured water over his hand and washed it three times. Then he dipped his hand in the vessel and rinsed his mouth and nose three times, and he did that from the same handful of water that he had taken. Then he washed his face three times, his right arm three times and his left arm three times. Then he put his hand in the water 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 the wudoo’ of the Messenger of Allah , this is it.
حَدَّثَنَا عَفَّانُ، أُرَاهُ عَنْ أَبِي عَوَانَةَ، عَنْ خَالِدِ بْنِ عَلْقَمَةَ، عَنْ عَبْدِ خَيْرٍ، قَالَ أَتَيْتُ عَلِيًّا رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ وَقَدْ صَلَّى فَدَعَا بِطَهُورٍ فَقُلْنَا مَا يَصْنَعُ بِالطَّهُورِ وَقَدْ صَلَّى مَا يُرِيدُ إِلَّا أَنْ يُعَلِّمَنَا فَأُتِيَ بِطَسْتٍ وَإِنَاءٍ فَرَفَعَ الْإِنَاءَ فَصَبَّ عَلَى يَدِهِ فَغَسَلَهَا ثَلَاثًا ثُمَّ غَمَسَ يَدَهُ فِي الْإِنَاءِ فَمَضْمَضَ وَاسْتَنْثَرَ ثَلَاثًا ثُمَّ تَمَضْمَضَ وَتَنَثَّرَ مِنْ الْكَفِّ الَّذِي أَخَذَ مِنْهُ ثُمَّ غَسَلَ وَجْهَهُ ثَلَاثًا وَغَسَلَ يَدَهُ الْيُمْنَى ثَلَاثًا وَيَدَهُ الشِّمَالَ ثَلَاثًا ثُمَّ جَعَلَ يَدَهُ فِي الْمَاءِ فَمَسَحَ بِرَأْسِهِ مَرَّةً وَاحِدَةً ثُمَّ غَسَلَ رِجْلَهُ الْيُمْنَى ثَلَاثًا وَرِجْلَهُ الشِّمَالَ ثَلَاثًا ثُمَّ قَالَ مَنْ سَرَّهُ أَنْ يَعْلَمَ طُهُورَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ فَهُوَ هَذَا‏.‏

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith explains the ritual ablution or wudoo that was practiced by the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him). It is narrated that 'Abd Khair came to visit 'Ali ibn Abi Talib and saw that he had just prayed. He then called for water for wudoo, which surprised those present as they thought he had already prayed. However, it was clear that he wanted to demonstrate how one should perform wudoo according to the teachings of the Messenger of Allah. He took a small vessel and poured water over his hands three times before rinsing his mouth and nose three times from this same handful of water. Then he washed his face three times, followed by washing each arm three times before wiping his head once with a handful of water from the vessel. Finally, he washed each foot three times before declaring that whoever would like to learn how to perform wuduo according to what was taught by Messenger of Allah should follow this method.
