We came to 'Ali bin Abi Talib, 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.'

:Telah mengabarkan kepada kami Suwaid bin Nashr dia berkata; Telah memberitakan kepada kami Abdullah yaitu Ibnu Mubarak dari Syu'bah dari Malik bin 'Urfuthah dari Abdu Khair dari Ali Radliyallahu'anhu bahwa ia dibawakan sebuah kursi ia segera duduk di kursi tersebut. Kemudian ia meminta bejana kecil berisi air ia tuangkan ke telapak tangannya tiga kali kemudian berkumur tiga kali dan menghisapnya ke dalam hidung dengan satu telapak tangan sebanyak tiga kali. Lalu membasuh wajahnya tiga kali membasuh kedua lengannya tiga-tiga kali kemudian mengambil dan mengusap kepalanya- Syu'bah - (perawi hadits ini) menunjukkan bahwa Rasulullah shallallahu 'alaihi wasallam mengusap kepalanya sekali dari ujung ubun-ubun sampai tengkuknya ia (Syu'bah) berkata 'Aku tidak tahu apakah beliau mengembalikan kedua tangannya atau tidak (dari tengkuk sampai ubun-ubun)?-dan beliau membasuh kedua kakinya masing-masing tiga kali. Setelah itu ia berkata Barangsiapa senang melihat cara Rasulullah shallallahu 'alaihi wasallam bersuci inilah cara beliau shallallahu 'alaihi wasallam bersuci. Dan Abu Abdurrahman berkata; Jalur periwayatan di atas ada yang salah yang benar adalah Khalid bin Alqamah bukan Malik bin 'Urfuthah.
