Arabic Text

‏ ‏حَدَّثَنَا ‏ ‏عَلِيُّ بْنُ بَحْرٍ ‏ ‏حَدَّثَنَا ‏ ‏الْوَلِيدُ بْنُ مُسْلِمٍ ‏ ‏قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا ‏ ‏عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ الْعَلَاءِ ‏ ‏عَنْ ‏ ‏أَبِي الْأَزْهَرِ ‏ ‏عَنْ ‏ ‏مُعَاوِيَةَ ‏ ‏أَنَّهُ ‏ ‏ذَكَرَ لَهُمْ وُضُوءَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ‏ ‏صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ‏ ‏وَأَنَّهُ ‏ ‏مَسَحَ رَأْسَهُ بِغَرْفَةٍ مِنْ مَاءٍ حَتَّى يَقْطُرَ الْمَاءُ مِنْ رَأْسِهِ ‏ ‏أَوْ كَادَ يَقْطُرُ ‏ ‏وَأَنَّهُ أَرَاهُمْ وُضُوءَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ‏ ‏صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ‏ ‏فَلَمَّا بَلَغَ مَسْحَ رَأْسِهِ وَضَعَ كَفَّيْهِ عَلَى مُقَدَّمِ رَأْسِهِ ثُمَّ مَرَّ بِهِمَا حَتَّى بَلَغَ الْقَفَا ثُمَّ رَدَّهُمَا حَتَّى بَلَغَ الْمَكَانَ الَّذِي بَدَأَ مِنْهُ ‏

English Translation

Muʿāwiyah described the wuḍūʾ of the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ for them: he wiped his head with a handful of water until the water dripped from his head — or nearly dripped. He showed them the wuḍūʾ of the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ: when he reached wiping the head, he placed his palms on the front of his head, then passed them back until he reached the nape, then returned them to where he started.
