Musnad Ahmad 625

Translation

✧ ʿAlī entered my house and asked for water for ablution. We brought a bowl that held a mudd or close to it, and it was placed before him. He had urinated. He said, "O Ibn ʿAbbās, shall I perform ablution for you as the Messenger of Allah ﷺ did?" I said, "Yes, may my father and mother be your ransom." He said: A vessel was placed before him, and he washed his hands, then rinsed his mouth, sniffed water into his nose, and blew it out. Then he took water with both hands and dashed it onto his face, inserting his thumb into the front of his ears. He said: Then he repeated that three times. Then he took a handful of water with his right hand and poured it onto his forelock, letting it run down his face. Then he washed his right hand up to the elbow three times, then his other hand likewise. Then he wiped his head and his ears from their backs. Then he took water with both palms and dashed it onto his feet, while he had sandals on, then turned them over with it, then did the same with the other foot. He said: I said, "Even with the sandals on?" He said, "Even with the sandals on." I said, "Even with the sandals on?" He said, "Even with the sandals on." I said, "Even with the sandals on?" He said, "Even with the sandals on."
