Musnad Ahmad 583

Translation

✧ Ali was brought a jug of water while he was in the open courtyard. He took a handful of water, rinsed his mouth and sniffed water, wiped his face, his forearms, and his head, then drank while standing. Then he said: This is the ablution of one who has not broken his wudu. This is how I saw the Messenger of Allah ﷺ do.
