“This is how the Prophet of Allah (ﷺ) purified himself.”
“We came to ‘Ali bin Abi Talib, may Allah be pleased with him, and he had prayed. He called for water and we said: ‘What is he going to do with it when he has (already) prayed? He only wants to teach us.’ A vessel of water and a basin were brought to him. He poured some water onto his hand and washed it three times, then he rinsed his mouth and nose three times from the hand with which he took the water. Then he washed his face three times, and he washed his right hand three times, and his left hand three times, and wiped his head once, then he washed his right foot three times and his left foot three times. Then he said: ‘Whoever would like to learn how the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) did Wudu’, this is it.'”
“I do not know whether he brought his hands back or not. And he washed each foot three times, then he said: ‘Whoever would like to see how the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) purified himself, this is how he purified himself.'” Abu ‘Abdur-Rahman said: “This is a mistake. What is correct is Khalid bin ‘Alqamah, not Malik bin ‘Urfutah.”
“I saw ‘Ali call for a chair and he sat down, then he called for water in a vessel and washed his hands three times, then he rinsed his mouth and nose with one hand, three times. Then he washed his face three times, and his hands three times. Then he dipped his hand in the vessel and wiped his head, then he washed each foot three times. Then he said: ‘Whoever would like to see how the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) performed Wudu’, this is his Wudu’.'”
“The child is the bed’s and for the fornicator is the stone.”
I was sitting with the Prophet (ﷺ). A man came from the Yemen, and said: Three men from the people of the Yemen came to Ali, quarrelling about a child, asking him to give a decision. They had had sexual intercourse with a woman during a single state of purity. He said to two of them: Give this child to this man (the third person) with pleasure. But they (refused and) cried loudly. Again he said to two of them: Give the child to the man (the third person) willingly. But they (refused and) cried loudly. He then said: You are quarrelsome partners. I shall cast lots among you; he who receives the lot, will acquire the child, and he shall pay two-thirds of the blood-money to both his companions. He then cast lots among them, and gave the child to the one who received the lot. The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) laughed so much that his canine or molar teeth appeared.
from Ali (no. 48). Except that Abd Khair’s version includes the following additions: “When he was finished from his purification, he would take what was left over from his purification with his hand to drink it.”
“I heard the Messenger of Allah say: ‘Do not let the Bedouin make you change the name of your prayer. It is the ‘Isha’, and they bring their camels in and milk them at nightfall.'”
