حَدَّثَنَا عُثْمَانُ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو نُعَيْمٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا رَبِيعَةُ الْكِنَانِيُّ ، عَنِ الْمِنْهَالِ بْنِ عَمْرٍو ، عَنْ زِرِّ بْنِ حُبَيْشٍ ، أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ عَلِيًّا رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ وَسُئِلَ عَنْ وُضُوءِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، فَذَكَرَ الْحَدِيثَ ، وَقَالَ : وَمَسَحَ عَلَى رَأْسِهِ حَتَّى لَمَّا يَقْطُرْ وَغَسَلَ رِجْلَيْهِ ثَلَاثًا ثَلَاثًا ، ثُمَّ قَالَ : هَكَذَا كَانَ وُضُوءُ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ .
