I saw Ali perform ablution. He washed his hands until they were clean, then rinsed his mouth three times, drew water into his nose three times, washed his face three times, and washed each of his arms three times. Then he wiped his head, washed his feet up to the ankles, and stood up. He took what was left of his ablution water and drank it while standing. Then he said, "I wanted to show you how the Prophet ﷺ performed ablution."
أخبرنا قتيبة بن سعيد قال حدثنا أبو الأحوص عن أبي إسحق
رأيت عليا رضي الله عنه توضأ فغسل كفيه حتى أنقاهما ثم تمضمض ثلاثا واستنشق ثلاثا وغسل وجهه ثلاثا وغسل ذراعيه ثلاثا ثلاثا ثم مسح برأسه ثم غسل قدميه إلى الكعبين ثم قام فأخذ فضل طهوره فشرب وهو قائم ثم قال أحببت أن أريكم كيف طهور النبي ﷺ
Sahih. Abu Dawud narrated it in the Book of Purification, Chapter on the Description of the Wudu of the Prophet ﷺ, hadith (116), from hadith (101), and Tirmidhi graded it sahih, the hadith of Abu Ahwas being narrated in brief form, and it is also found in Kubra, hadith (48).Abu Ishaq used "ana" without specifying his source, and he is a mudallis, as Nasai stated, in Siyar Alam Nubala 7/74. This hadith has many corroborating narrations.
