Ali came to us after he had already prayed and asked for water for purification. We said to ourselves, "What does he want with water for purification when he has already prayed? He only wants to teach us."A vessel containing water was brought, along with a basin. He poured water from the vessel onto his right hand and washed his hands three times. Then he rinsed his mouth and blew water from his nose three times, rinsing and blowing from the same handful with which he scooped the water. Then he washed his face three times, then washed his right arm three times, then his left arm three times. Then he placed his hand in the vessel and wiped his head once. Then he washed his right foot three times and his left foot three times.Then he said, "Whoever is pleased to know how the Messenger of Allah ﷺ performed his ablution, this is it."
