Musnad al-Bazzar 4495

Translation

✧ I witnessed the Prophet ﷺ when a vessel containing water was brought to him. He tilted it over his right hand three times, then dipped his right hand into the water and washed his left hand with it three times. Then he inserted his right hand into the water and scooped up a handful, rinsed his mouth and sniffed water into his nostrils three times and blew it out. Then he inserted both palms into the vessel and raised them to his face, washing his face three times. He washed the inside of his ears, inserted his two fingers into the inside of his ears, and wiped the back of his neck and the inside of his beard three times. Then he inserted his right hand into the water and washed his right forearm with it until it passed the elbow, three times. Then he washed his left forearm with his right hand until it passed the elbow, three times. Then he wiped over his head three times, the outside of his ears three times, and the back of his neck, and I think he said: and the outside of his beard three times. Then with his right hand he washed his right foot three times, parted between his toes—or he said: ran his fingers between them—and raised the water until it passed the ankle, then raised it up the shin. Then he did the same with the left foot. Then he took a handful of water, filled his hand with it, and placed it on his head until the water flowed down its sides. He said: 'This is the complete ablution.' I did not see him dry himself with a cloth. Then he rose to the mosque and entered the mihrab—meaning the place of the mihrab—and lined up the people behind him and to his right and left. Then he raised his hands until they were level with the lobes of his ears, then placed his right hand over his left on his chest. Then he began the recitation aloud with al-Hamd. When he finished Surat al-Hamd, he said 'Amin' so that those behind him heard it. Then he recited another surah. Then he raised his hands with the takbir until they were level with the lobes of his ears, then bowed and placed his hands on his knees, spreading his fingers. He paused in the bowing until he was straight and his back became such that if a bowl of water were placed on it, it would not spill. Then he raised his head ﷺ with humility and said: 'Allah hears the one who praises Him.' Then he raised his hands until they were level with the lobes of his ears, then descended for prostration with the takbir, raising his hands until they were level with the lobes of his ears. Then he fixed his forehead on the ground until I could see his nose in the sand, curved his forearms and head, spread his left thigh, and stood his right foot, fixing the toes of his feet. He did not prolong the prostration, then raised his head, raising his hands with the takbir until they were level with the lobes of his ears, and sat briefly. He placed his right palm on his knee and part of his thigh, and made a circle with his finger. Then he descended to prostrate similarly, then raised his head with the takbir, raising his hands until they were level with the lobes of his ears, until he stood upright and every bone returned to its place. Then he prayed four rak'ahs, doing in them what he did in this one. Then he sat for the tashahhud in the same manner. Then he said the salam to his right until the whiteness of his left cheek could be seen, and said the salam to his left until the whiteness of his right cheek could be seen. This hadith, we do not know it being narrated with this wording except from Wa'il b. Hujr with this chain.
